When I posted about this same thing yesterday, it took a while to find a half decent article about it. DuckDuckGo seemed to bury them. IMO the Daily Dot did a much better job representing it in retrospect (and it's a name I recognize at least) but the lion's share of apparent journalism here seems to have been done by the anonymous Twitter account that compiled the clip and... Ugh... AI generated opinion about the camera. Some sources used the video with more skepticism than others.

I guess techspot is not one of them.

I also see a heck of a lot of Techspot articles posted here, a name I've never heard of anywhere else in the wild.
