If USA Today is indeed unilaterally putting source interviews in some sort of database, in their entirety, allowing them to be cherry-picked by other reporters—and *AI*(!!)—that is journalistically indefensible and no one should ever talk to them again. Is this true? Is it Gannett wide?

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

As an update for anyone who isn’t digging through the comments: I found more articles by USA Today journalists I’ve never met. There are THREE that used quotes from my interview recording—including many quotes that were never publicly published anywhere else.

After I posted this thread, I got an email from an editor indicating the story had been updated. They removed my quote and added new text about the developments in the case. I don't know if they ever would have done that without pressure, but it's something.

The primary objective of journalism is supposed to be telling the truth. It is a DECISION on the part of USA Today to know that new details have emerged about this case and to refuse to update an old story that is still circulating and still shaming Jane Doe.

I dare AG Sulzberger and Joe Kahn to read this paragraph and tell me any of it is inaccurate — and then tell me they still think both-sidesing is a morally defensible thing to do and that history will look kindly upon them.

Partisan polarization is not the greatest threat to U.S. democracy, but a symptom of a deeper struggle over who belongs and deserves equal rights. Rapid gains by racial minorities, women, and LGBTQ citizens have produced an ethnonationalist backlash whose adherents now wield
disproportionate power through the Republican Party. This conflict has intensified partisan animosity and moral disengagement, but a "both sides" diagnosis obscures the asymmetry between a faction seeking to reverse social progress and those resisting it. Polarization is therefore less the disease than democracy's immune response to an unpopular, antidemocratic movement.
Suppressing that response in the name of civility would only strengthen the movement and imperil pluralistic self-government. The United States can still become its most inclusive democracy, but only if leaders defend equal rights and voters hold accountable those who will not.

John Roberts and his fellow members of SCROTUS declared racism is dead. This week, the sitting VP told a fifth generation Black Floridian candidate for Senate to "go back to Africa." Obv, by far not the only example. But no, not dead. It's just another fascist lie. And yes they are fascists.

The thing about the “no, you don’t understand AI could be used for good people” is that they're constantly yelling at the people pointing out the harm happening now, and I don’t see a ton being done to make this hypothetical good come to fruition.

I was told by a Hill staffer that this Permitting Reform bill allows fossil fuel companies to enlarge (that is, expand) their natural gas pipelines without any environmental review so long as there's an existing pipeline in place. This is very bad.

Can we stop asking the felon in chief if he’s going to use the insurrection act. If he does, he does if he doesn’t he doesn’t but he loves being asked that so that he can use power over people.

This is what makes LLMs much more than fixed-capacity function approximation -- they can do general compute if you change the format to allow for intermediate steps _and_ have a process to train those steps.
