Dear media writing about tech: Sam Altman shitting on "data centers in space" is not the story. Nobody thought that that narrative makes any sense.

You failed as reporters when you pretended it did just cause rich dude claimed it would be the future.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://tldr.nettime.org/users/tante/statuses/116114302610914873 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)

Yeah, this. Repeat after me: the job of a reporter is not to breathlessly repeat whatever crap comes out of techbros mouths. It’s to investigate it, and report appropriately.
