a slightly different angle but I found out that a few archives around LA had old books bound in human skin so I did a story about unusually bound books and of course I had to go look at and touch them all. My favorite was a copy of "Moby Dick" in whale dick skin

Don Davies, NDP interim leader, gave an extremely funny speech at the Parliamentary Press Gallery Dinner recently.
(The NDP is Canada’s social democratic party. They lost a lot of seats this recent election — a less than inspiring leader plus people coalescing around the Libs to stop the Cons.)

For years, police have been on the front lines of mental health crisis calls in Toronto, but the city's police chief believes it's now time to rethink that approach.

I never looked into Nature's AI policy, and, uh, this isn't great 😬
Nature is not the only news outlet that treats AI-generated text and audio differently from images and videos. Other examples include @texastribune.org @spectrum.ieee.org, which I consider to be highly trustworthy resources.
But you have to set the bar somewhere, and I'm open to changing my mind.

This is Nature's current editorial policy.
It seems like there's a chunk of news outlets that treat AI-generated text and audio to a different standard from AI-generated images and videos. I'm not sure if I'm convinced just yet.
