@404mediaco To hell with AI, to hell with anyone using it.
@404mediaco That's no solution at all.
@404mediaco really? You of all tech media?
@404mediaco
Read the room guys… 404 is respectable because you’ve been on the right side of the slop debate.
Knock it off…
@404mediaco@mastodon.social Aaand that's a mute and block.
@404mediaco
this is shit. Just because you've given in on AI doesn't mean everyone else is a loser too.
@404mediaco Not surprising considering who founded 404 and what they did before. I unsubscribed as soon as I learned, but this would've been the final nail in the coffin had that not been the case. I'd tell you to do better, but I don't think you can.
@404mediaco Fawning over genAI is not a good look for a journalistic outlet that claims to be the ethical choice
@404mediaco Y'all *just* did a podcast episode titled " ‘Reverse-Engineer Anything’ Is the Next Wave of AI Slop".
Like come on.
if you need a reminder about how ai sucks, actually, please follow these steps:
1. load up the website https://ai-sucks-actually.fyi/ in the browser of your choice
2. use your browser search function to search for all instances of "404 media" in the list of sources
3. click the links and read the linked articles
4. then go back and real all the other articles
@404mediaco journo to journo, this is a terrible framing and headline to offer up to your audience. The fact that Jason feels this is one of the only exciting possible uses for LLMs and the emphasis on proprietary bricks should be visible from outer space. This is an unforced error that will really, really hurt your specific company.
