Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The problem, I believe, is that the tech media has become poisoned by a mixture of ignorance and cynical optimism where the narratives are driven not by any particular interest or domain expertise, but by whatever they believe the market (or the powerful people they admire) would like it to be.</p><p>I know for a fact that the senior editorial staff handling technology at multiple major mainstream publications do not really care about, understand or have any real interest in tech other than a vague attachment to the idea that it’s “important, somehow.” As a result, mainstream tech coverage is focused on market effects (like artificial intelligence, or whatever other “thing” everybody wants to read about) rather than directing coverage from the perspective of “what things are happening to people in real life as a result of technology.”</p><p>I also think that the tech media has been infiltrated and controlled by people that want to be famous or associated with famous people. They want them to win. They want a benevolent dictator. They want their products to do well so that they can get the interview with the big-name founder or CEO on stage at a conference. They want access to them for interviews, and they want to make sure they get the first look at their next product release. While one might argue that “people want to hear about AI,” what people want to hear about is largely driven by the narratives the media agrees upon."</p><p><a href="https://www.wheresyoured.at/what-were-fighting-for/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wheresyoured.at/what-were-figh</span><span class="invisible">ting-for/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/RotEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RotEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Enshittification</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Technology</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechJournalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechJournalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"A bias in favor of industry assertions is one we’ve seen over and over again — not just from Newton, but from tech journalism more widely. In January of this year, Newton admitted in an interview on his Hard Fork podcast with crypto investor Chris Dixon that he “deeply regret[ted]” trying to “keep an open mind” about crypto because almost everything he wrote was “at best irrelevant or at worst was stuff that people lost a whole lot of money on” when he looked back at it. The skeptics were right about crypto, as he admitted in December 2022, a year after the bubble burst. But just like the industry folks he frequently talks to, Newton wants to assure his readers that this time they’re wrong.</p><p>In his paywalled response to the pushback he received, Newton asserts he’s not ignorant to the drawbacks of AI, pointing to some reporting he’s done on subjects like deepfakes — reporting that hasn’t made him rethink using AI-generated images trained on stolen work to illustrate some of his stories. But in asserting AI is “real and dangerous,” Newton is largely echoing the AI safety position — one which effectively asserts that AI will match and exceed human intelligence, and that we need to be worried about the consequences of such a development."</p><p><a href="https://disconnect.blog/dismissing-critics-has-real-and-dangerous-consequences/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">disconnect.blog/dismissing-cri</span><span class="invisible">tics-has-real-and-dangerous-consequences/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechJournalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechJournalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechCriticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechCriticism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Journalism</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The truth is that the media is more afraid of bias than they are of misleading their readers. And while that seems like a slippery slope, and may very well be one, there must be room to inject the writer’s voice back into their work, and a willingness to call out bad actors as such, no matter how rich they are, no matter how big their products are, and no matter how willing they are to bark and scream that things are unfair as they accumulate more power.</p><p>If you're in the tech industry and reading this and saying that "the media is too critical" of tech, you are flat fucking wrong. Everything we're seeing happening right now is a direct result of a society that let technology and the ultra-rich run rampant, free of both the governmental guardrails that might have stopped them and the media ecosystem that might have held them accountable.</p><p>Our default position in interrogating the intentions and actions of the tech industry has become that they will "work it out" as they continually redefine "work it out" as "make their products worse but more profitable." Covering Meta, Twitter, Google, OpenAI and other huge tech companies as if the products they make are remarkable and perfect is disrespectful to readers and a disgusting abdication of responsibility, as their products are, even when they're functional, significantly worse, more annoying, more frustrating and more convoluted than ever, and that's before you get to the ones like Facebook and Instagram that are outright broken."</p><p><a href="https://www.wheresyoured.at/lost-in-the-future/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wheresyoured.at/lost-in-the-fu</span><span class="invisible">ture/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechJournalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechJournalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Journalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a></p>

A core belief that Anand and I have held dear for years, and is still on our About page to this day, is AnandTech’s rebuke of sensationalism, link baiting, and the path to shallow 10-o'clock-news reporting. It has been our mission over the past 27 years to inform and educate our readers by providing high-quality content – and while we’re no longer going to be able to fulfill that role, the need for quality, in-depth reporting has not changed. If anything, the need has increased as social media and changing advertising landscapes have made shallow, sensationalistic reporting all the more lucrative.</p><p>For all the tech journalists out there right now – or tech journalists to be – I implore you to remain true to yourself, and to your readers' needs. In-depth reporting isn’t always as sexy or as exciting as other avenues, but now, more than ever, it’s necessary to counter sensationalism and cynicism with high-quality reporting and testing that is used to support thoughtful conclusions. To quote Anand: “I don't believe the web needs to be academic reporting or sensationalist garbage - as long as there's a balance, I'm happy.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.anandtech.com/show/21542/end-of-the-road-an-anandtech-farewell" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">anandtech.com/show/21542/end-o</span><span class="invisible">f-the-road-an-anandtech-farewell</span></a></p>
