      Or experts on the topic, like former air traffic contollers? Or software engineers that worked with this stuff? Or news instututions with decades of credibility?

      I understand the conflict-of-interest concerns, but I suppose I am an ‘oldschool’ believer in journalistic standards, primary sources, and topical experts

      On the contrary, why would I trust the headline of a single for-profit news site, one that regularly posts clickbait? Because it happens to align with a popular viewpoint?
