> Journalism needs to pursue facts and produce new information as events take place or new developments emerge. Journalism is competing against post-truth entertainment content, that thrives on conspiracies passed as facts. How can they compete with that, when facts are boring and go against their beliefs? > Also, a lot of investigative journalism takes work and fearless collection of sources and other dangerous activities. For years you've had journalists being murdered in Russia for doing their job, and you had Tucker Carlson doing the classic "Russia lives better than us - look at their grocery store, they have nice bread!" - which ones do you think had more reach and had a greater impact on people? The actual journalists who risked and paid with their lives, or Tucker Carlson's lies? Because that's the competition of journalists, millionaires sitting in the comfort of a podcast studio, with no accountability or responsibility, and a massive reach. This is what we're dealing with here. Yet you demand so much from journalists, isn't this unbalanced? In the sphere of information, LLMs at the moment are more a tool for the amplification of deliberately produced disinformation at scale, rather than a way to create/develop information. That's the true problem in my opinion, not in terms of developing content. > As an alternative, news reporters can have somekind of twitter(X) like channel somewhere, where they can post latest events, bits of investigation Do you genuinely believe this wouldn't be hammered down by the algorithm of "it's a platform being controlled by the deep state/spreading lies/echo chamber/woke news"? Remember people rallied for Elon Musk to buy Twitter, with the banner of free speech, only to support him converting it into a right-wing/MAGA propaganda platform - and they still support this, claiming its better than ever. Until recently we could claim "its a loud minority", yet here we are.
