Yahoo is buying Artifact, the AI news app from the Instagram co-founders
Yahoo News is bigger than you’d think — and it’s getting a big dose of AI.

Wait yahoo still exists?
Yup. Everytime I need to test an internet connection I go to Yahoo cause I know the User wasn't there so no cache version.

Yes. When their stock price dropped far enough, Verizon bought them.
Yahoo Inc. owns TechCrunch, Autoblog, and Engadget, plus some other stuff, along with their own Yahoo-branded stuff (excluding Yahoo Japan, which is a totally separate company). It's a ton of eyeballs, and they sell the ads on their sites.
I don't know how they're structured / what they really do as a company now, but they do still seem to have a well-regarded news division (or, they at least aggregate quality content).
Well, they used to until I read this. Once they throw this AI nonsense into it, I'm bailing.
Every time I end up on Yahoo News, it's an article that's been republished from somewhere else. I have no idea what their business model is. Ads, I assume.
Nowadays it seems like every company's business model is an overly complicated way to sell ads.
