The start time of the capture is not recorded. 2,075 of the 6,700 comments Facebook reported were retrieved, because loading was capped. Publication dates are approximated from the relative time shown at capture; Facebook shows \"a week ago\" for anything a week old or older.",

Codebook v2 defined unclear against na and added tie-breaks for debater_verdict and other; every row coded unclear, other or debater_verdict across the five DOAC studies (14,993 of 26,019) was recoded blind under it."

   "note": "Corrected the artefact. Version 1 described this post as the 104-second Diary of a CEO clip of Nate Soares, published on 17 September 2026 (an assumed date). Checking the post showed it is \"The REAL Reason AI Is Already Out Of Control\", a 21:31 cut of the debate published on 21 September 2026. Title, artefact_title, artefact_published and notes updated; the comments and their codes are unchanged."

 "notes": "Rows flagged cta_keyword, emoji_only, no_text or featured_messenger were not sent to coders and carry stance na, frame other, emotion neutral and every flag false; exclude them from frame shares. debater_verdict is inflated by pile-on reply threads about Andrew McAfee: under the codebook, attacking the sceptic counts as agree, so one thread can add over a hundred agree rows. Weight by thread or report top-level comments separately before quoting agree or frame shares. Verified on 9 October 2026: the URL redirects to facebook.com/SteveBartlettShow/videos/2538854556526162/, a video titled \"The REAL Reason AI Is Already Out Of Control\", 21 minutes 31 seconds long (1,290.9 seconds), published on 21 September 2026 at 19:37. It is a longer cut of the debate, not the 104-second Nate Soares clip posted to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram, so these comments are not comparable with those as reactions to the same clip. On 9 October Facebook showed 8.1K comments and 5.7M views."
