Media Dying....Again?
Washington Post CEO and publisher Will Lewis “told Post staffers today that the newspaper will be looking for ways to use AI in its reporting as it seeks to recoup some of the $77 million it lost last year,” reports Futurism.
“To speak candidly: We are in a hole, and we have been for some time,” the CEO added. “This is all repairable, all doable, particularly if we do it together.”
The far-left Post’s technology officer told everyone to expect “AI everywhere in our newsroom.” In other words, the Post is about to replace a bunch of overpaid assholes with bots.
We've been pulling for media outlets to fail for years....decades even. We thought we had a win when the Slum Times almost got buried, but they managed yet another reincarnation via some deep pocketed liberals.
We've been hoping for deep pocketed liberals to go under, too. So them spending tens of millions on a failing enterprise is a two-fer in our opinions.

Can we post a comprehensive list of said liberals to ensure we put them out of business by not buying their goods or services? I’ll do my part. Think globally, boycott locally.
Good. The woke AI can create more nonsense like a DEI model of our founding fathers.

Nothing warms my heart more than a woke, shit leftist propaganda rag like the Washington (Com)Post struggle.
Wait, that's not true.
NOTHING warms my heart more than a bunch of woke propagandists cosplaying as reporters losing their overpaid, cushy jobs.
I would tell them to learn to code but some 14 year old in Bangalore, India does it cheaper and probably better.
The practicles being vital to the propagandistas, all means and methods of a communicative quality are sought to be bought.
Formerly only printed, then audibly broadcast, then audibly and visibly broadcast, now streamed relentlessly everywhere, the propagandistas strive to control all said means.
These things have grown so far bigger than anyone can control sufficiently to dominate.
Too bad for the propagandistas.
Interesting since the very deeply pocketed Jeff Bezos owns Wa-Poo and can just keep it alive for ideological purposes.
Hopefully Jeff Bezos lets them go under.
The WaPo is owned by Jeff Bezos, who founded Amazon. His net worth is about $200 billion, so $77 million is pocket change for him. At that rate, he could fund the WaPo for about 3,000 years - long after civilization collapses.

I can remember way back when the morning newspaper was an important part of my day.
AI is a two edged sword. One one side, we are relieved of obvious bias by an author with an agenda. On the other side, we have a leaning computer that is programmed to 'think' a certain way.
We will be more partisan than ever...
Yes, bankrupt them and their patrons. Somewhat related, did you see that Ohio’s Republican Governor called their legislature back into session to get President Aqualung on the November ballot? Apparently they missed some filing deadlines in Ohio and Alabama. Alabama changed the law to accommodate him last week before their legislature adjourned.
Why in Heavens name are Red states doing this free of charge? Make them sue. Force them to spend time and money. Give them nothing.
just what their brain bread, brain washed liberal readers need,,, more artificial lying liberal news
When you sell a product that aims to destroy its consumers, a product that its victim never buy, it's not a good business model.
Stop your biased reporting and people might start buying that rag again.
“Repairable” my ass. That’s like the floppy disk factory owner saying, “it’s all repairable. We will turn things around and get production up.”
Now that News Corp has done a deal with OpenAI, you can expect 90% of the "reporters" (aka Democrat operatives) to be fired and the stories written by 19-year-olds using ChatGPT. Nobody will notice the difference.
Well Jeff Bezos has billions to toss into a black hole if he wishes
AI generated news feeds are even worse than the "real" fake news...
They spend all their resources exposing the 5 extremists who are destroying CPD and Chicago.
Obama and friends. They started defunding police in the 70's.
Is Chicago Media Hiding Real Radicalism in Chicago? Interesting read from an article by Martin Preib's Crooked City
Bring back the funnies.
The ship will sink, just taking longer than we all want. Educated non-woke people are tired of the BS and the MSM is basically worthless.
We can now check up on the stories news outlets like the Washington Compost and the New York Slime report. When you see how the story was manipulated to follow the newspaper's editorial bias there is no wonder nobody is reading their crap anymore.
Little Napolean DUI’d an Area Three Detective. This tree stump has been writing coppers for over 25 years and no one has stepped on this cockroach. His whole career, traffic stops. Well done E.T. , something to proud of , mush.
I'm more liberal than most of the folks here, so don't think WaPo is too bad, but I don't see the detriment of using AI anymore, since independent media is pretty much dead. Left wing and right wing could be preset into the program, and off we go.
Microsoft just announced AI assisted class room teacher software. What's it called???? Auto-left?????
Please God, let Taylor Lorenz be the first to get fired.
Sure, this sounds like great news, same as Hollywood "Woke" movies all bombing with similar layoffs of strident, PC, Woke Lib Leftists especially strident, Woke feminists but..... (huge but)
These laid off Leftists have to go somewhere and I'm finding them now in middle management for every job I get or apply for.
Woke, women Lib Leftists seem to have pretty much taken over all the management positions in once non political non profits such as:
The Red Cross
The Field Museum of Natural History
Once real environmentalist non profits such as The Nature Conservatory or the Sierra Club - they're not all about PC, Woke Lib Leftist CIS male bashing - homo marriage equality, archeology PC nonsense that the Egyptian pharaohs were all Black and LGBT
Pretty much all the career counseling, alumni management positions at my (Once, still consider top 20 universities, grad schools).
My Vanderbilt alumni magazine and Stern New York University MBA alumi magazine are IMO unreadable. I tried to get some career counseling from the Stern NYU MBA career center - it's 21 out of 22 woke women and I think the one guy left.
And it's not as if for $ honest, tell it like it is Conservative media are thriving - the few paid $ Conservative media positions are few and far between and one has to be constantly looking over one's shoulder for Conservative purges by the Powers that be.
Look what happened to Fox News #1 rated commentator Tucker Carlson - he exposed the likes of Max Boot and other Neo Con war mongers that wasted $ trillions in pointless USA wars, interventions, nation building in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, now Crimea and Ukraine.
I'm seriously considering starting a housekeeping business featuring guys like me:
"BA/MBA Maids"
Remember the cause/phrase "Save the Whales"?
How about:
"Save us American Males?"

IMO it's important to publish hard copy, real world news commentary, it has more lasting impact than just a blog and there are lots and lots of great, honest crime, immigration, race realist blogs like this one, "HeyJackAss" etc.
How about creating a one a week or bi monthly zine of the best of current SCC, Crime in WrigleyVille and Boystown blogs?
We could recruit say ~ 300 ativists that agreed to copy and distribute say 1,000 B&W copies of this Chicago real crime stories Zine.
That would be 300,000 a month
Kind of like the 300 Spartans who saved classical Greece from Persian conquest, enslavement or the 300 FDNY that gave their lives going up that burning, collapsing World Trade Center building on 9/11/01 when everyone else was running down or away.
Face it - Chicago our City, Illinois our state, USA our Country "The West" is in real danger of going down and out same as classical Greece when those 300 Spartans made their final stand.

Ohio Governor DeWine is much as an addle-brained stooge as Biden. Looked and sounded like a complete moron at East Palestine train disaster(s) last year.
The communist takeover is almost complete, there will be no need for media after that. Something to think about those of you media members who push the leftist agenda. You vill be dispatched along with academia by the very leftists you served.
The Sundance Kid Says:
The media is fully owned and operated by the Communist Party. ALWAYS feed them bullshit whenever you can. Never cooperate or answer their questions truthfully. Lie to them like they lie to you. All is fair in love and war…

Please submit a cover letter and resume... if thats too complicated for some of your employees, a photo doing man stuff will suffice. Also, are you men okay with being objectified for being men?
We need more men in America 🇺🇸 🙏 thank you SCC

The Washington Post is the conduit for CIA propaganda.
Bezos is a CIA asset and Amazon and the CIA are business "partners"
It ain't going under.
Can we get AI to replicate front office Dollie’s to pleasure ourselves and see how it feels to be a boss? Asking fir a lock up keeper!

What happened to the Keesing Bandit
I have missed his Keesing comments.
Post is simply a tax deduction for Bezos-
Please let Taylor Lorenz be the first to be fired.
5/24/2024 11:36:00 PM Is right on. Many media members are C. .A. operatives too.
Another op is Mark Suckerberg, he didn’t invent Faceplant, it used to be called Life Log and it was a feeb run operation. They ended Life Log and the very next day Zuck launched Faceplant, and the lemmings lapped it up and gave much personal info.
$77M for Bezos is like a nickel falling out of your pocket. That being said, the AI bots might accidentally get the story right every now and then, unlike the commie drones working at the post now.
I too missing the Keesing Bandit's insightful commentary
Where has the Keesing Bandit gone?
I really miss the Keesing Bandit.
I really miss his keeses very much.
