The gist

  1. Chau says 80% of news stories are solicited, so his outlet queries public government databases directly with AI to find stories no one pitched.
  2. Long-context AI models running 24 to 72 hour queries can scan databases like HHS and Medicare for financial anomalies that would take humans years to find.
