    The never ending stream of articles of the form “Person with association to $topic has opinions on $topic” are exhausting and very seldom informative.

    Zooming out any distance at all and it seems like most mainstream journalism is indistinguishable from mad libs.

    "We spoke with 50 people who work with AI about what keeps them up a night, then took the craziest 5, embellished the stories (artistic license, y'know), then wrote a click-bait listicle about it."

    While I appreciate the NYT trying to be creative with the way they present their content, the structure of this piece pisses me off.

    Sometimes (often), an easily navigable wall of text with quality, descriptive subtitles is best. For me, at least...
