It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall. It's probably not your fault—too much news. But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.
Why are we using human behavior to train AI? We suck.

This move by Alden Global Capital, our rapacious ownership group, shows a total lack of vision and respect for the newsroom and the city we serve. (1/5)
