    Nah, AI can’t be controlled in the same way. AI has source code, which can be easily leaked… aka not something they would want the public to know. Much easier to replace someone with information to blackmail them

      AI does not have “source code”. It has models. Which are pretty much indecipherable to humans, even in the field. You can almost think of them as one way hashes in some respects. You take a world of data (literally) and produce a model that works in a very narrow context to represent that world of data along specific edges and nodes.

        Because only certain positions can be. They’d be folding that part of the outlet, they can run “wordles” or something in its place but I don’t think they can actually do so without loosing money. And that money means a lot to a media company right now. Loyalty trials mean more than just a position but profitability in reach. To own that outlet, they need to sell it to a person who knows the loss they are taking. Unknown loss means losing the entire subsidiary which I doubt many would take.

        If you run a grocery store you don’t give out free endcaps, especially when dying out unless you are planning to be closed. This is like selling isles for free.

          Yes, and one of those positions can be ‘political cartoonist.’

          Not hard to get an AI to make a bland, inoffensive political cartoon.
