i’ve got like 400+ notifications in the last 24 hours. is this what fame feels like? so much years spent on different social media, and the first post that actually has major engagement is a css shitpost made in 2 minutes. not complaining.

last.fm
last.fm/user/clmtytux represents the kernel.
gnu represents the, well, gnu coreutils.

how does that sound?
If journalists truly think AI is going to supplant them, then I suppose in a way, journalism is already dead. An AI can spew out coherent - and often outright incorrect - sentences with all the sensationalism you want, and without having any kind of moral compass of its own.
Journalism is meant to be unbiased, factual, fact-checked reporting. An AI can't fact check, because an AI does not truly comprehend sentences, let alone interpersonal relationships, politics, or any advancement in any scientific field. An AI is biased by whoever puts together the initial framework and their motives, and the vast quantities of (ironically, often auto generated) training data it scrapes from the internet.
It kinda feels like actual journalism died shortly after the Snowden leaks, that journalists felt all the facts would come to them -- or maybe it's just upper management once again optimising for clicks and ad revenue. I'm not sure the distinction really matters any more.
