Just once I’d like to see journalists and politicians show at least a grain of scepticism about the claims being made by “AI” vendors. Just once.

Just because anthropic styles their reports to look like scientific or academic papers doesn’t make them sound or credible.

@baldur There's never been much knowledgeable journalism about tech, and what little there was, is now dead. I say this not to gloat, but to lament.

@liw @baldur Hey, some of us aren't dead yet! A few dinosaurs still roam, for now...

@corbet @baldur I agree that LWN does good tech journalism, but it's the very rare exception, and always has been.

@corbet @liw @baldur yes, Jon! I saw that Phoronix is celebrating 22 years today. Here in Brazil, my site (BR-Linux) is back to daily posts, and in November will celebrate its 30th anniversary (also without drinking the AI kool-aid)

Lars if you need more blogs and tech news that are worth checking out I can recommend following the tech journalists directly rather than the outlets and the same for researchers as well such as @molly0xfff etc.

Many tech journalists have to work freelance as jobs are drying up, so their contributions will often be one off stories they sell to whomever will take the story.
