Sometimes an interview completely surprises you. Lulu Garcia-Navarro's interview with Sylvester Stallone is remarkable, showing a very different side of Sly - to me anyway. New York Times Gift Article: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/m...

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
