Last week, Quartz, the finance publication co-founded by Zach Seward in 2012, was sold by G/O Media to a Canadian software company. All the editorial staff were fired. In a blogpost, Seward writes about Quartz's journey from thriving enterprise to "zombie brand." It's a story that has been repeated across journalism for years now, but Seward sees some hope in the ascendant non-profit media scene. "The media business often feels like a battle between idealists and cynics," he writes. "Most of my favorite news startups of the current era have chosen the non-profit path, which has its own major challenges, but at least cynicism is not one of them."

CW: Long thread/17
There are undeniably instances in which corporate monopoly power benefits progressive causes, but these are *side-effects* of corporate power's main purpose, namely: taking money and power away from working people and giving it to rich people. That is what monopoly power is *for*.
Which brings me to #AdTech, #BrandSafety, and the demise of #Jezebel, the 16 year old feminist website whose shuttering was just announced by its latest owner, #GOMedia:

Well, fuck you, G/O Media.
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/09/ai-took-my-job-literally-gizmodo-fires-spanish-staff-amid-switch-to-ai-translator/You might as well just fucking shutter Gizmodo en Español. It would be more respectful, at any rate.
But yeah, therein lies the problem: Corporate overlords don’t respect anything but money. Short-term money, specifically, because they don’t seem to be able to plan long-term. Fucking idiots.#Gizmodo #GizmodoEnEspañol #GOMedia #LateStageCapitalism #NoToAI

Cognition Dissemination: AI Isn’t Cutting It
The current use of it in writing, voicework, and art leaves much to be desired, but emphasize “current.”

My only take away from hearing about #GOMedia choosing to run a bunch of “#GenerativeAI” derived articles - literally, articles written by #AI #ChatBots - is that I should avoid G/O Media’s brands like the plague. I assume that was not their intent, which is strange because I feel like it’s the only rational response https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/08/gizmodo-ai-errors-star-wars/

"Introducing computer-generated garbage undermines our ability to do our jobs, erodes trust in us as journalists, damages our brands, and threatens our jobs." GMG Union
Surprising no one, G/O Media jumps into AI-generated content. Despite everything, I still enjoy #Jalopnik and #Kotaku, but the geniuses running G/O continue to do everything possible to undermine and devalue them. 😡
The union recommends that if you see a byline ending in “Bot,” don’t click it.
