  3. The OpenAI/TBPN acquisition still puzzles me days later. OpenAI gets an 11-person team for corporate comms (really?), while TBPN trades a growing, profitable, independent media business for $100M and inevitable credibility loss. Will OpenAI competitors still appear as guests? Kyle Chayka's right though - media brands should get the bag while they can. But I'm skeptical OpenAI will get their money's worth. shlema.me/openai-tbpn-deal/ #OpenAI #TBPN #TechMedia #Acquisitions

  5. In covering the story of an AI agent apparently writing a hit piece blog post about someone who declined its GitHub merge request, Ars Technica posted a story that included fabricated quotes created by AI.

    It's slop all the way down.

  9. This obsession the mainstream tech media is having with the softlaunch of a general steamOS image is bizarre. There's nothing steamOS does that can't be achieved with a lot of other distros, Fedora, uBlue/bazzite and arch friends.

    Does even the IT media need their handheld by some corporate sponsor to do anything?

  11. Everything Must Change Dept : Genuinely shocked and amazed at how shitty the transition to a new device can be.All the #AI related farkery has hastened the wholesale #Enshittification of #Android and #Windows . Am fairly stunned at how bad the user experience can be on a #Samsung device that can't handle tasks a ten year old flip phone managed to pull off- the, gaping, glaring flaws not a single review seems to have discovered because yes , #TechMedia is now also a giant turd that won't flush

  21. - much like the general "automation" hype (basically another branch on the same tree) purports to make the production of consumer goods faster & more effective etc., while at the same time putting everyone out of work or on starvation pay, meaning nobody can afford to buy anything, even necessities...

    We need the #press, #media, #TechMedia & #BusinessMedia to do their actual job, not just reproduce press releases & feed hype cycles on behalf of VC capitalists.

    Outlines how the media became the PR machine for Meta Threads and hyped the app without ever trying it.

    ‘Threading’ a Thin Line – We The Press

    "How Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads app went from ‘Twitter Killer’ to reality check, and the Media’s role in shaping perceptions."

  23. Anyone who has been on the fediverse for more than a few years knows how these waves go. This one was the same just so much larger and with a larger bump in plateau. But we also knew this is how the tech press was going to cover the inevitable slump because they only know how to cover Silicon Valley techbro pitches which only understand a false dichotomy of “unicorns”/ “going to the moon” or “dying” for not doing so. The fediverse is not one entity much less company. I’ll take the wins and keep moving forward. I like being the underdog anyway. Best bright side is the VCs chasing the new shiny ball will maybe leave us alone and go back to doing their vulture capitalism play elsewhere. Unfortunately that may be to try to make fetch happen with crypto and NFTs again. #fediverse #TechMedia #slashdot #VultureCapitalism #Twitter #TwitterMigration
