Alex Rivera
AI Technology Journalist
Alex Rivera has been covering AI generative tech since 2022 — back when Stable Diffusion first dropped and everyone suddenly had opinions about diffusion models. With a computer science background and five years of hands-on reporting, he's the kind of journalist who actually runs the benchmarks instead of just quoting press releases.
Specializing in video generation, deep learning architectures, and the AI arms race between startups, Alex writes with an edge. He got let go from his first editorial gig for calling a hyped model "a beautifully marketed disappointment" in print. No regrets. When he's not testing the latest models, he's probably arguing about GPU architectures on Reddit.
