Another of the Twitter replacement initiatives is shutting down after failing to generate sufficient business growth. Post.news was touted as the journalists' paradise, but it feels as though most journos abandoned their accounts soon after joining.
I'm not exactly sure why it didn't catch on, although a journalist only platform was hardly going to entice the social media masses. I think from now on, the standard for social media is to be federated.

This feeds the hype cycle, "Wow! Some magical inflection as we approach the singularity and AI rapture!"
The author argues we're scoring capabilities in a binary fashion, and so that obscures the linear, gradual improvements actually happening.
