Reply to comment by karriesully in CNET is doing big layoffs just weeks after AI-generated stories came to light by cos
This. Even the stuff that they didn't plagiarize was pretty low quality. The few people that they had that had any quality quit a decade or more ago. CNET imho has been a 90s zombie brand for years. i.e. not technically out of business, but a company that is a shadow of what it was in the late 90s.

This. I hardly think you were the only one that stopped reading them. Their human writers were second tier for a long time. Ars Technica passed them by a good 20 years ago. After CES kicked them out of best of CES from the controversy about a decade back they lost what little credibility they still had left. They got resold from CBS for a fraction of what CBS paid for it. Needless to say their impact on tech journalism has waned dramatically and in my opinion already were one of those websites from the late 90s that technically still existed, but were no longer relevant.

There are some exceptions, but I think that indications that AIs are able to pass some MBA exam at Wharton I think that question may not be far fetched. Obviously not everyone that can pass an MBA is great management material, but once an AI can successfully demonstrate it can do that you'll see people start questioning it. In the not so distant future you may get some corporate boards question whether they really need to pay a high priced CEO at all. Maybe some companies will simply have a paid actor "act" as a public figurehead like some Chinese companies pay white foreigners to play as senior execs, but I don't think that is far fetched.

How exactly are they going to go out of business? Do you not understand how auto manufacturers make profit?

This. Before the recent stories about CNET came to light I am not sure that I had hardly heard about them in maybe 10 years. After the controversy from CNET's then owner of CBS intervening in best of CES awards they lost a lot of credibility although I think that Ars Technica passed them by whereas quality of tech news writing >20 years ago. It was news to me that CNET had been resold to new owners that apparently paid a small fraction of what CBS paid. Not clear if CBS retained anything of meaningful value that they didn't resell, but precluding that it indicated that CBS did little to slow the slide of irrelevance of CNET.

That's on me... I placed the hyphen in the wrong place :(
It should be "Will ChatGPT Kill the Student Essay? Universities Aren’t Ready for the Answer - AI is here to stay. It’s up to educators to articulate why writing still matters"

While we’re at it we should factor distribution into economic analysis. Perhaps then economic forecasts would seem less insane to most people.

America has some issues for certain. What is the salary difference between tech jobs in the UK and US?

The only reason China is even remotely successful is because of the US protecting global trade and Chinese theft of American IP.

Arguably the dumbest take, given you brought the comparison up, nobody else had. It's not "people on this website" it's you, and you're really confused if you think a platform used to stir insurrection is less divisive than reddit.

I don't think African nations are really all that interested in Chinese politics. I'm sure they're looking closely at the development promised. As you well described, they know how it's been worked in the past.
