Really starting to get a bit sick of Ars Technica. They’re OK for general interest tech stuff, but their editorial line (and some of their commenter base) have been really credulous about AI vendors’ PR.
With Ars, the best option is to stick to general tech, science, public policy and tech culture. I say this as someone who has read them for ~20 years and has been subscribing for ~10+ years.
I’ve seen people criticize Eric Berger for being up Musk’s ass about SpaceX, though I’m simply not that passionate about space stuff anymore. And so far I don’t see them posting anything about the NIH freezeout, even though that surely affects a vast swath of their reader base. Seems odd.
Same. They’ve been a staple in my RSS feed list for so long (and they are one of the few sites where the RSS feed isn’t just the headlines). But recently I’ve been thinking several times already about throwing them out.
