I am pretty much every stereotype of a lefty American, but even I have some hesitation of using Vox media to train AIs. Vox is pretty non-apologetically partisan, which isn’t necessarily a problem but I don’t know is a good idea for training AI.

I do actually really like Vox, but I dunno, this is giving me a bad vibe.

Vox media, the company owning Vox, seems to own multiple titles:

> Vox Media owns multiple media properties including Vox, The Verge, Eater, New York Magazine, The Cut, Vulture, and SB Nation.

I’m not familiar enough with US news landscape to know, but do they all share the partisanship you mentioned?

I would say so, yes.

my uneducated guess is that the partnership is because Vox has a lot of explainers written and used to embed these little factoid explainer cards in their articles which are probably useful from a data point of view

also - I think this is for some kind of RAG, not training
