Reading blogs online, sometimes I don't know if it's the writer's superfluous style that makes it hard for me to understand, or if it was just written with AI.

E-flux is a very well established art and cultural theory publication. Still, I agree with you. However, as someone who came from that world into computer science, I find the simplistic salesman-like superficiality that is common on many Hacker News tech posts even more off-putting than the wordy mumbo jumbo in E-flux. I think the question is who they’re trying to impress. If you can sort that out, it will be easier to parse and filter.

As with any community, each other. Not only does the jargon signify belonging, it obscures the real message from the unvitiated.
