I hadn't even realised that sites like TUAW had closed down. I recall seeing them over the past couple of decades, and if someone linked to them now, I'd read the post in the full belief it was the same entity. And I would believe that the article was written by the name attached, if that name had been writing for the site for a decade. Shady as! And while the AI companies are completely to blame, it's grossly unethical, I feel the owners of IP like those blogs should only sell with contract conditions retaining good reputation for the name. It's like when a business owner names their business after themselves (famous example in Australia: Dick Smith's Electronics) and when selling, they're incentivized to ensure their name and reputation remain untarnished.
