LA Times stages walkout for the first time in 142 years. And I think like 80 writers walked out, right? And then Sports Illustrated just laid off all of its staff. All their staff were gone.
What staff? I thought they were creating all their content from AI.
So the CEO got fired for that, right? And then they just, they're laying off all their staff, right? I think what we're kind of getting to here is like the best writers and the best editors will have a job, right? The worst ones will not. So like you still need to have humans in the loop, but you're probably going to be looking for the best humans in the next couple of years.
