Actual journalism nowadays is about money. It’s just marketing and psychology with virtue signaling painted over top of it. Medical journals have also become very bad on this topic. …and corporations are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into mechanistic interpretability. Wanna know what mechanistic interpretability is? It’s basically just weird programmers getting paid 400,000 dollars to try to become psychics for LLMs so they can (maybe) build Leviathan. https://www.amazon.com/Leviathan-Common-Wealth-Ecclesiasticall-Rethinking-Tradition/dp/0300118384#:~:text=Written%20by%20Thomas%20Hobbes%20and,of%20Leviathan%20for%20our%20time. Vice has basically only covered gang activities, weird technological destruction, and societal corruption as a means of further propagating the behavior. Not once have I seen a valid sociology paper come out of them. Even sociology as an academic field is in horrible state from a legal perspective. Those with serious, ACTUAL medical disorders are treated as vulnerable people to exploit and make money off of while treating them as less than human. My buddy wants to get his PhD in mental health law (which is basically sociology and national law).
