It’s been ages since I’ve sat down and read a magazine. But there are times when I don’t have the motivation to read a book and I just want a quick, well-written article to enjoy.

To give an example of the sort of content, someone shared this interesting article on Lemmy the other day about the ways in which far right tech CEOs mimic AIs being trained on their own data. It was a really fascinating idea!

I’m not too fussy about the content - science, technology, gaming, nature, opinion pieces, politics (but not too heavy).

For the longest time I used to get the National Geographic, which always had good content. But I feel a bit burnt out with those. Something along these lines on another topic would be perfect.

Can anyone recommend any particular magazines?

      I had noticed it’s quality dwindling for some years before, this really puts the nail in the coffin. Far too many “cancer cure” articles that amount to nothing, too many fluff articles (purchase by DM makes sense…), or explaing the same physics / tech things for the umpteenth time. I lost interest.
