People will argue with you that he was “always soulless” whatever the hell that means and it’s like okay? Your point is business people used to be driven by *building* things and since 2020, it seems like bizarrely their only drive is to destroy.
Bezos has the resources to make WaPo into the BEST sports outlet and BEST science outlet and BEST place to get trusted news without feeling any sort of negative financial impact but is happy to turn it into Quillette because he’s lost whatever creative spark he had and turned into a vapid dullard
Like the original founder of WaPO was a virulent racist who owned a plantation and he wanted to CREATE a newspaper. It’s very very odd that basically all the rich people now except for Altman (and yes, fuck AI but for the sake of argument) seem dedicated to ending things.
