Very sad yet completely unsurprising to see data censorship of a study showing the positive benefits of the COVID vaccines in preventing hospitalizations. This is anti-science in action and also harmful to public health. I expect better from the NIH/ acting CDC director but alas.

One article that Nick used AI to produce for Fortune is an error-riddled obit for the Blackstone exec killed during the mass shooting at their offices last summer. screenshots from @columjournreview.bsky.social article, here: www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...
It would be hard to make this week's Midtown Manhattan shooting any more devastating. But Fortune found a way.

Among the four murder victims in Monday's rampage was Wesley LePatner, a top real estate executive at Blackstone Inc. and a forty-three-year-old mother of two. On Tuesday, Fortune ran a bizarre, disrespectful, and mercifully short obituary about LePatner.

Under the unfortunate subhead
"FORTUNE INTELLIGENCE," the obituary:

• misstated LePatner's age;

• put the gunman's name into the lede;• included a graf about his football injury;

• linked to a New York congressman's tweet, without offering evidence the two knew each other;

• published this photo caption: "An image of Wesley LePatner";

• and added this line, which is reprinted here verbatim: He honored her sense of civics, as a ".

The most informative part of the obit is the editor's note at the end: "For this story, Fortune used generative Al to help with an initial draft. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing."
