Business insider came out with the first trump admin and didn’t seem to be about business or particularly “inside”. It’s always seemed sketchy to me, although it wasn’t as bad as a Murdoch entity.

Business Insider was founded in 2007.

I think their strength is the YouTube videos they produce. I particularly enjoy the So Expensive ones.

Realistically speaking it feels like this is the one thing AI won’t be able to replace. Celebrities are already fake enough as it is, imagine an AI generated celebrity LARPing as a real person that no one ever sees outside

Unfortunately AI video generation just crossed that line.
