AI Newspaper: DEV & MLH print “The Daily Context” for fair

The answer is simple, or perhaps not: a touch of nostalgia and a break from screens. DEV and MLH, two well-known names in the tech community, decided to cover the AI Engineer's World Fair with an unusual product for the sector: a physical newspaper.

This newspaper is called “The Daily Context” and will be printed and distributed during the event. The idea is to offer attendees a different experience, something tangible to flip through. Imagine, after hours of talks on models and algorithms, the joy of holding a real piece of paper.

Don't expect only serious articles about the latest AI that learns to play chess better than Kasparov. The newspaper also includes a game, as the original news title suggests. It's a way to take a break, stretch your mind, and maybe compete a bit with your seatmate.

DEV and MLH, who are behind this initiative, aim to make the fair experience more interactive and less... digital. The AI Engineer's World Fair takes place in San Francisco from September 25 to 27, 2024, and promises to be a key event for the industry. DEV and MLH's publication of “The Daily Context” for the AI Engineer's World Fair aims to offer an “analog” experience to attendees.

Well, “useful” is a strong word. Let's say it's a curious idea. In a world where everything is an app or a notification, having a physical object to read, perhaps while your phone charges, has its charm. It won't change the AI world, but at least it'll give you something to talk about, or to solve a crossword puzzle on, between demos.
