   Journalists have a hard job. They also have a huge potential impact and a huge amount of responsibility that comes with that. That's why it's a hard job.

   They have an obligation to be humble and not credulous when they receive information in a domain that they are not personally educated on, from powerful people who have an interest in the public not being too well informed.

     Casey Newton writes authoritatively about AI and he is dramatically mislead on what it does, how it works, and what its actual threats and harms are.

     Why would we trust that he is better informed or educated on any other fucking thing he writes authoritatively about?
