Sounds like he's found the right audience for his work

same thing for the majority of sports posters + journos too 👍

"I had to do the salute to maintain my access for the interview. I had to say the words, to maintain my access for the interview. I had to participate on the island..." They either like what they're doing or are selfish enough to promote it for money. Either way it feels like an addiction to hate.

Chester finds he's irrelevant when he's not bouncing around Spike. Goes back to bouncing around Spike.

"they're overt, unapologetic nazis, dude" You're just describing AI fans in general. Of course Nazis flock to a nazi platform.

I am embarrassed for and by every last journalist that uses Elon Musk's right wing propaganda website, though I enjoy the elaborate, flimsy scaffolding they construct for themselves to justify it

It's like fine, Casey, I didn't give a shit before and I don't now

yeah it's not like a disagreement over drapes it's a ring of historically-corrupt fascist pedophiles

Maybe not so mighty

Wimpy

"Boycotting the explicitly racist platform makes my work more costly."

It would be nice if we didn’t hound people off Bluesky. This CAN be a great place for AI discussions actually! But it takes a lot of blocking to get to the point where you’re not barraged by abuse when you mention it

(this dude lost his credibility so long ago, it actually pisses me off when I see him publish things back on the verge, which thankfully hasn't happened for a while)

What in the world does he mean by “the stakes of the AI conversation have risen”? I really, really hate it when journalists use language like this—okay, I get it, you’re blogging and not doing journalism, but not everyone *gets* that, Mr. Newton.😡

Yes, we saw a similar thing from some in the Apple Developer and media coverage space recently

Live shot of Casey Newton on X

He is trying to separate the "AI crowd" from the "Port-a-Potty" and horrible Twitter management... but the overlap is far from zero.

If someone described the difference between me and Elon Musk as mere “disagreement” I would never recover

He never stopped using it, he’s been using an alt for a while and wants to go back to his original account to boost his NPR podcast.

This satirical conversation probably never happened. Nazi: "I'm a Nazi! Here, have a cookie. From a Nazi!" Casey Newton: "While you and I may have disagreements, I think we can all agree that cookies are great!" Nazi: "Nazi cookies!" Newton: "... just give me the fucking cookie."

Let's start a betting pool on how quickly he ends up on a right wing "manosphere" podcast crying about being "cancelled"

So Casey newton is a Nazi supporter then.

"I tried real hard not to be a racist, but I exhausted all the alternatives."

Back when I was a journalist , I covered radicalized Christian militant networks that killed and maimed women’s health providers. I didn’t hang out with them, ffs.

im not convinced he isn't just three swishers in a browncoat

yes...yes it is

Next up: they'll start a Substack publication as a companion thing for their podcast 🫠

I can understand keeping a lurker presence if you cover AI, but there are very few gains from actively posting there.

Sadly I think a lot of people feel that way. Also I think it’s a bit sad that reading and regurgitating people’s tweets is what “coverage” is now. I get it though, ya gotta eat.

I was told web pages are stupid and you can just AI for what you want now.

Leaving your prestigious media gig to try to influence a few rich, rightwing chuds who spend 18 hours a day doing virtual phrenology while their AI waifu build out the new arbitrage apps that are going to lead to the next economic crash. Also: they still won't listen to you.

Yeah I've stopped reading a while ago under the deluge of life but this is worth taking the time to actually unsubscribe and tell him why.
