   lol i love that all of these news outlets are covering google scrapping search for AI chatbox bullshit in the most value neutral of tones. just parroting their press release for them

   y'all know this will be the end of your ad-supported website right? you *do* know that, right??

     tech press cannot even muster any kind of scrutiny let alone pushback even when the tech thing they're reporting on is literally an existential threat to them

     @eniko Tech press is the worst. Tabloid reporters have more integrity.

     @Doomed_Daniel @eniko It's garbage across the board, but tech press has been nothing but PR mouthpieces for decades.

     @dalias @eniko
     Is normal press any better?
     They also hype AI (or at least don't criticize it enough) even though it will kill their jobs as well
