Twitter has reached some all-time highs in the last month. The first was the coverage of FTX/SBF. Some of the early MSM coverage was oddly exculpatory, while other pieces seemed pedestrian. On Twitter, AutismCapital and others tore up a storm. Every day one learned something exciting, almost unbelievable, and new. I learned new words such as “polycule.”
The other issue is ChatGPT. At least as of yesterday (when I composed this post), the NYT hadn’t had a single story about it, and I believe the same is true for WaPo. There is Bloomberg, which in general is on top of things, and also I have heard of a single Guardian piece. Wake up people!
Yet every day my Twitter is drenched in ChatGPT, whether analysis or actual chats. I have learned so much so quickly, and so many other world events seem to have slowed to a crawl.
More than any other time, if you are not on Twitter, you just don’t know what is going on.
Addendum: NYT coverage, finally.
