Fortune magazine reports:

In separate investigations completed by the blockchain firms Chaos Labs and Inca Digital and shared exclusively with Fortune, analysts found that Polymarket activity exhibited signs of wash trading, a form of market manipulation where shares are bought and sold, often simultaneously and repeatedly, to create a false impression of volume and activity. Chaos Labs found that wash trading constituted around one-third of trading volume on Polymarket’s presidential market, while Inca Digital found that a “significant portion of the volume” on the market could be attributed to potential wash trading, according to its report.

Altman's line is what you write when you have nothing novel to say about physics but really, really want to say disparaging things about gay people.

Consider also Sam Altman, who once argued that “we have to allow people to say disparaging things about gay people if we want them to be able to say novel things about physics”

As a queer physicist, what can I say but "suck a bag of dicks, dipshit"?

Nit: "New Atheism" was the decade after that. Gary Wolf coined the term in a Wired story from 2006.
