"But it all starts with the decisions made by editors and WAHT YOU, as a reader, should SEE and CARE about."
According the so-called "tech" industry, the people setting up websites like this one, even the people financing HN, we should all care about "AI" and ChatGPT.
There really isn't much balance. The "news" from these intermediaries is weighted so heavily toward one objective. More data collection about users and more targeted advertising.
Certainly an important catgory of news is local news. What is happening in local communities. "AI" does not really fit in that category. It's just heaps of general statements about "changing the world".
What's going on in a local community is certainly news and reporting it requires people who actually live in these communities.
People in local communities should be discussing news that is relevant to them, not only "news of AI and ChatGPT" or whatever is being delivered to their screens by "tech" company middlemen (third party intermediaries). One cool thing about the internet is that it should allow people anywhere in the world to follow the news in any local community, not only the one they live in.
