I think I've said this before but a weird new treat of 2026 in online media is if you write a news story that gets people's attention it will almost immediately start being fed back to you on Meta in the form of uncredited, AI generated slop posts that strip away all context and authorship

“Isn’t there a reason people live in this city?” is such good advice. Cover stuff people like sometimes! niemanreports.org/gabe-bullard...
Nieman Reports: You can understand an editor opting to keep an eye on city hall instead of the local theater. But arts are a part of life. I often think of something a boss of mine said when I ran through all the stories my team of reporters had in the works — all of which were about politicians, business, and schools: "Isn't there a reason people live in this city?"

This is absolutely deranged: Months before murdering 6 people and injuring 27 more, ChatGPT told the teen school shooter in Tumbler Ridge, BC that using a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun is “brutal” in a “hallway, indoors or a crowded classroom” because “close quarters” is that gun’s “playground”

I’m no political analyst but it seems the NDP is hoping this election will be about “who can best lead B.C. in a time of Trump?” while the Conservatives are trying to present just enough of a united front to gain the votes of people who don’t automatically think NDP is the answer to that question
