    Seems super common in reporting as well, I am noting it with basically every NPR news story these days. LLM's love outputting this format as well. Almost the same thing that is happening with most media, people are so unfocused that you have to repeat things 20 different ways for them to remember, and the lack of actual journalism means they need to fill time with the 'big stories'.

    You mean like Netflix making shows "second-screen" friendly? I doubt lack of focus ever really drove longer articles. It pushes them shorter and more towards bulleted lists and headlines only if anything.

    [Insert ad here. Lol.]

    Padding out the paragraph count just gives more spots for ads in between or more eyeball time for banner ads, and even if a site isn't explicitly going for that, all the journalists (real or not) and LLMs are just trained to only write that way now.

    AI produces cookie-cutter bullshit.

    That said, at least for the time being, it gets down to brass tacks in the first paragraph or so. I guess they haven't felt the need to keep your eyes on the page longer.

    Capitalist enshitifed journalism is the reason they're 'starving' for readers. You can't find a meat-created news article or a fucking recipe without sifting through 10 pages of hyperbole and nostalgia.

    Bring back the fucking newspaper article format where every word cost somebody money. Spend the money on paying someone to make sure the news is right and condense it into an article where your primary goal is conveying exactly what's going on with a close fucking second goal of not wasting everyone's time.

    It’s not AI. Axios used this format for years, going back to Trump’s first term.

    The original pitch was real, sourced journalism in a more concise format, to compete with Twitter and such.

    I like that (hence I’ve read Axios for years), but I do get annoyed by the lack of detail, sometimes.

    I wonder separately if he is in the Epstein files. He's not ivy league, he and a bunch of these pricks like microsoft's guy went to the same Indian University or something. And idk if he was big time enough for epstein to bother with when they were running that honeypot.

    Still, I wonder though.

    Shout out to the book Red Tide by M. P. Woodward. It's a military thriller where one of the main plot points is a Chinese spy seducing the son of the CEO of a semiconductor manufacturer, in order to export AI chips to China. The book was published last year. The author worked in naval intelligence, so I guess there may have been rumors about this scenario before...

    Is he? I thought he founded the company and made the first cards out of wood himself or some such?

    I don't put billionaires or CEOs above workers. In fact, they have an uphill battle for me to respect what they do at all. But I'd assume anyone that started with Nvidia and worked their role for decades would have a lot of irreplaceable knowledge in that role. Whether they designed chips, worked fabs, or even just did scheduling.

    Sex, power and money are obsessions to men who's insecurities they wish to fix through these means. There's typically a reason why the billionaire always looks like the guy with the micropenis.

    speaking as a woman who fucks women:

    if you're not an idiot its really easy to avoid the problematic ones who just want something from you. or enjoy your time with them without letting them take advantage.

    I'm not so sure billionaire types know more that a handful of people who do not want something from them and even if they do they would recognize it, especially the ones who are CEOs of large companies, a group were sociopaths are far more common than amongst the general population.

    Further, I bet their mindset is one of taking advantage of people offering them sex because of wanting something from them, and that they do it because they're selfish sociopath cunts.

    I think the explanation that they're sociopaths whose relation to everybody around them is entirelly transactional and who thus will use attractive women for sex when they feel they can which given their fortune and positions of responsability is probably common enough (so, very much an entirelly objectifying mindset leveraging very steep power inbalances), is a much more likely explanation than "insecurities".

    I've worked in Investment Banking at the mid-level, and even at that level there's already lots of sociopathy and psychopathy as well as disfunctionality around sexuality and the amounts of money sloshing around and being made by such people is far less than with CEOs of large publicly traded companies. Whilst these are not psychologically normal and healthy people, from what I've seen "insecurities" isn't usually their problem.

    That's exactly the thing. Narcissists and psychopaths and sociopaths are not insecure at all. They are very confident in their abilities to get what they want by exploiting others.

    Also we know that men who are insecure are not attractive to women at all.

    So I think that myth needs to die. Women complain about mens behavior every time they can't benefit from that behavior. They want men they can control. The entire feminism movement is also based on trying to control men's behavior so it benefits women.

    Its not about equal rights at all and we can see this in very feminist countries like Sweden where men are told to be feminine and that masculinity is toxic.

    Hence, women in Sweden go for immigrant men more and more, since they haven't been completely brainwashed by the feminist movement. They can tell a women to shut up without feeling like they are attacking her. And that's actually what women wants, someone who doesn't bow down to them and let them run the entire relationship.

    He’s a bilionaire. Even if she’s a spy, he knew, and he gave her critical information, he’s unlikely to be punished meaningfully. Billionaires don’t go to gitmo.

    Oh yes, I totally get that. The right thing would for him to lose everything for betraying his country and company. This won't happen because wealthy people always get a free pass.

    When you are running a multi-billion dollar company you are held to much higher standard because of the massive responsibility. Being involved with a spy is a profound dereliction of his duty and shows a criminal level of disregard for his company.

    Just being caught betraying his family should be grounds let him go, but this goes much deeper than that. I doubt anything will happen, but letting people in high levels of leadership pull this kind of shit without serious consequences is bonkers in my book.

    Can't be fired but can't be trusted either. I'm sure he's smart but if you're going to have an affair as the head of an industry the US desperately wants to keep away from the Chinese, maybe don't have one with a Chinese national? And certainly not a Chinese national that is the head of a Chinese company that wants the technology the US desperately wants to keep them from having.

    You should notice in his apology letter he said he accepts the criticism for his actions but not the consequences. He, and his legal team, went over this letter a hundred times before it was released.
