Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

Ahmad was shot because he went to the roof to try to access water for his family- I know someone who died trying to get a signal for internet this way 💔
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmad. Ahmad is a web programmer and designer. He is 23 and was starting his life but lost his laptop early in the war and then his home. He was shot while he was trying to get water for his family from a roof container and needs a surgery.

If Emily in Paris had a HR department, the ‘HR’ would definitely stand for ‘happy riding’
Emily and colleagues have moved to Rome, where they’re doing what they do best: having sexual relationships with their clients

Even a change of government in Israel and the departure of Netanyahu next year (if it happens) are unlikely to bring much change. The new government may have fewer people interested in ethnic cleansing, but they would be loathe to enter meaningful negotiations on the future of Gaza or OPT generally.
