Tech journalism was always infamously bad.

Because for a lot of us it’s hard to imagine finding a half dozen or so people who can talk in person like that outside of a conference or workplace. Discord facilitates that because it assembles people based on interests and such. You’re just going to more easily have that kind of conversation than you would “out in the real world.” My guess is they are functionally saying “this probably happened on discord if anybo…
Well it’s not so far fetched if the friends are people you studied with and have common interests with, but don’t currently work together with. I have good friends that love to discuss highly technical topics over a beer or whiskey.
Ahhh, I see, I see...

In my experience: 1. Start building stuff that is hard to build that requires touching these niche topics. Especially stuff you don't know how to build 2. As you encounter problems, you'll have to scour for solutions (AI doesn't know these things due to lack of training data). In the process you will find people who are also working on these problems. Ask these people well-formed, intelligent questions.

I don't see what distance has to do with it. I had a number of specialized friends in close proximity at university.
Presumably because they all traveled there for a temporary part of their lives. And after university, they presumably scattered to the places where they built their careers and families.
probably doesn't help that 'tech journalists' are some of the worst with very little journalism background.

I am skeptical of your second claim here… if you can “scour for solutions”, and you find something about it on the internet, then AI could find it the same way.
I find AI shockingly bad ad searching the web, as SEO blogspam sites heavily pollute AI context windows, while relevant and important resources are typically very densely presented reference material which must be constantly revisited.

Just cause the AI could find the info definitely does not mean it will find and apply that knowledge correctly to solve a problem.
