I mean, wasn't it mostly spam anyway?
- Yeah, now AI can produce infinite slop there's no need for human-produced slop anymore
Business insider came out with the first trump admin and didn’t seem to be about business or particularly “inside”. It’s always seemed sketchy to me, although it wasn’t as bad as a Murdoch entity.
- Business Insider was founded in 2007.
A grand says that layoff letter was written by AI.
Maybe the paywall had something to do with it?
I think their strength is the YouTube videos they produce. I particularly enjoy the So Expensive ones.
- Realistically speaking it feels like this is the one thing AI won't be able to replace. Celebrities are already fake enough as it is, imagine an AI generated celebrity LARPing as a real person that no one ever sees outside
  
  Unfortunately AI video generation just crossed that line.
