The print world of magazines and newspapers continues to retract and it seems as though the final blow will come when AI Agents make the Web moot. Or it could be that I’m not giving Vogue Magazine or The New York Times not enough credit — maybe they will figure out a way to thrive in a world where every Website and App has been replaced by an AI Agent.
It definitely will be interesting to see what happens.
They say you go bankrupt gradually, then all at once and it seems as though when everything is mediated through AI Agents, there may not be an room on the media landscape for print at all.
I hope I’m wrong. I really do. I love newspapers and magazines with all my heart and if I wasn’t such a fucking kook I probably would be an assistant editor at The Richmond Times-Dispatch right now with a wife and 2.5 kids.
But, alas, that never happened.
