AI Thread Summary
Omni Magazine, a notable publication known for its innovative science fiction stories and articles, has not been in circulation for some time. Originally, it transitioned to an online presence at www.omnimag.com, but that site is now defunct, leading to speculation about the magazine's status. The discussion highlights the nostalgia for Omni and mentions other similar publications, such as Isaac Asimov's Digest, Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Dune Tales, as alternatives for readers seeking similar content. Additionally, it notes that Omni was part of Bob Guccione's media empire, which ultimately collapsed, contributing to the magazine's decline. Readers are encouraged to explore used bookstores for past issues of Omni and other classic sci-fi magazines.

Omni Magazine -- SciFi classic mag

Does anyone remember the old Omni Magazine publication? It was always filled with cutting edge science fiction short stories and other articles. I sort of remember their Anti-matter section.

Then they just disappeared, however they were present at www.omnimag.com for awhile with notes on their website saying that they were exclusively on-line, but now the site no longer works.

Have they gone out of business? Is there another magazine out there similar?

Cheers.

Omni was part of the empire of Bob Guccione (sp?) one of those high flying empire builders of the eighties and nineties. As I dimly recal, his empire crashed and burned. (Metaphor alert: well if empires can fly, I guess they can crash and burn too!).
 
Man, when the Devil comes a-knockin', he does not smell of sulphur and brimstone, he smells of sweet perfume and roses... Doing a bit of research for a short story. All I wanted was some examples of professions typical for jurors in a trial of the time and location of the story (1850s New Orleans - of which I am not very familiar, so I have my work cut out for me). ChatGPT delivered that very nicely, giving me a list of a dozen typical professions for the type of man that was eligible for...
