To Survive This Takeover.
I know people are going to hate me saying this. But as a former journalist and a current software developer in intimately working with AI, we need new technology and new breakthroughs to cover our news and the misinformation that spew forth daily.

New technology helps us address new problems.
I know it bothers you as much as it does me that journalism as an institution can’t process that what it’s seeing on a daily basis is evil people doing evil sh*t

Not incompetence, not naivete, not negligence, not mispeaking, not mixups, not miscommunications: straight-up evil people doing evil sh*t
