By now, anyone using AI seriously has gotten used to browser bloat. A window for the doc, another for Claude, another for ChatGPT, another for Gemini… Oh, and a few more for hands-on research, plus a final one for whichever tool briefly seemed like the answer last Tuesday. We fought to be able to work from home, and yet we find ourselves saddled with a new daily commute: jumping between our tabs. Copy, paste, re-prompt, re-explain, re-upload.

The modern internet is defined by a massive economic paradox: We are deeply dissatisfied with our primary tool, yet we refuse to change it. We claim to dislike monopolies and lament the erosion of privacy in Big Tech.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Small cap stocks in Vancouver. I was turning interviews into scripts for video, researching companies for background as I went.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Have I? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Not at all.

How is social media changing news?

It's rewarding people for creating inflammatory content, which sucks. People care more about clicks than facts.
