Smithsonian Mag used to be the Institution’s brain‑child, now it’s just a click‑bait lifestyle tabloid full of celebs. The magazine’s editorial directives have diverged from the institutions mission. They care more about pageviews and ads than research.
- mmooss 9mo agoThe front page has none of those things; I see: * "Queen Bumblebees’ Tongues Aren’t Built for Slurping Nectar" * "Why the Computer Scientist Behind the World’s First Chatbot Dedicated His Life to Publicizing the Threat Posed by A.I." * "NASA to Resume Search for Missing Mars Orbiter" * "Spaceflight Temporarily Changes the Position and Shape of Astronauts’ Brains, MRI Data Suggests" ... and more of the same. Where have you seen what you describe?
