To be quite honest, among all the annoyances it introduces at work, the bombardement of Slop content all over the place and the weird conversations I have with people ever since LLMs/"AI" became the magic mushroom half the population is apparently on the one thing it really ruined for me are Tech Podcasts and Tech News in general.

I physically cringe reading HN or other tech-adjacent link aggregators which is filled to the brim with astro turfing, hype trains and the next "revelation" the Big Tech firms apprently gift us at that moment.

Not a single Tech Podcast epidose that discusses the myriads of some new model, or how I can plug yet another part of my life into the slop machine of the tech overlords.
