In this age I was surprised to see them still kicking. They did put Musk's mom in the swimsuit issue so the signs where there...

Are they laying off the AI bot writers too?

Just seems like outright good old fashioned union busting right out in the open. This will be interesting.

I mean “fired” is a strong word when it clearly says laid off but this sucks nonetheless

Call it whatever you want, I doubt the folks who don't know where their next paycheck is coming from much care about the semantics.

In the internet age of instant news, daily newspapers, let alone weekly magazines, are completely obsolete. Nobody wants stale news. Still is a shame for us older folk that like a good bathroom read.

Probably because he paid them to do it.

 

Print media is toast. Newspapers, books, magazines. I can think of very few instances when I would actually need to buy a hard copy of these. The last SI I bought was when Carolina one the natty in 2017.

They are $110 million in debt and missed a $3 million interest payment 2 weeks ago.

They’re not coming back.

The real old folk would've read it and used the pages as toilet paper...
