That's a fair point. I'm also not young, so I get where you're coming from. But alas, we live in a social media world now, and we can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

I found out about this the hardway. Only apple anything I've ever used shit on me. Fuck apple

And tell them to stop wasting time on so many things unrelated to the major.

A lot of jobs depend on, or are outright based on, bullshit generation. As it turns out, ChatGPT is really really good at generating bullshit. So everyone whose job basically is bullshit generation is terrified at the prospect of being replaced, and rightly so - given how loyal modern companies are to their employees, there may be a lot of people getting fired once ChatGPT gets a few hundred/thousand/million more "generations" of improvements under its digital belt.

Haven’t read cnet in years

They specialize in winning large government IT and software development contracts. They bill top dollar and drag projects on as long as possible, yet the people doing the actual coding are a bunch of Indians making like $20/hr (with all the quality you'd expect at that rate).

If you're looking for someone who can spend 6 months building one web page and charge you $2 million dollars for it, they're your guys.

Basically they're a giant leech on the public teat.

Getting banned for telling someone to kill themselves doesn't really make twitter a joke.

It’s almost as if that was the original intent all along.

The only value the checkmark has now is to show the world you're a fucking idiot.

Journalists are no longer needed for daily beats or even industry reporting. A computer can do it, and much better - both from the reader's perspective (less politics) and from the publisher's (more politics, adjustable on an easy-to-use knob). There will still be journalism, but it'll be journalism that readers will want to pay for. This tends to either be long-form, technical works like a book (or perhaps part of a book, assembled into a digest) or investigative journalism. Both require skill and craft, which most journalists do not have.

I read CNET about once a week and already had assumed they automated almost all of it.

Can't fuckers google anything anymore? Its not faster or easier for me to google it for you.

Its not consistent which direction the net migration is, which is why I say "half the time".

Yeah that's my point.

Except he made himself the posterboy for his companies like $30 billion pivot and sank the whole project because he is the least likable, least cool person on earth.

1. How a smart investor makes money: Buy Twitter.
2. How a smart investor makes more money: charge $8 per month for Twitter Blue.

Yep them too

Then the smoking crater that Ars Technica became.

The AI manager generated a report that indicated that human staff were the problem and should be removed. The AIB (Board) accepted the report. The HRAI agreed.

They all agreed to rebrand CNET as SKYNET too :-)

I'm sure the Republicans will get right on it.

Do the verge next

It was, they just needed to expose their data in a way that would better allow for sane advertisement to get good reach, then the cpm increases and revenue follows. Now they've got no hope.

It’s happening! God!

IMHO the only valid reason for a checkmark is if you're in a position where people are going to impersonate you and where said impersonation causes damage. That should be a service Twitter wants as it's good for the platform to weed out that crap.

Maybe I'm showing my age here but I would argue there really doesn't need to be this type of platform at all. It wasn't that long ago that society functioned just fine (I would argue in some ways better) without it.
