In 1997 a theater director headed out to play a twilight round of golf in Carmel. His clubs were found on the 13th tee, and he was never seen again. His wife thinks he staged his own death. My longread on the strange and sad disappearance of Greg Howells: bit.ly/4aJpl9P
NEW: Hoodline, the longtime local news outlet, is using AI to generate news stories, parent company CEO Zack Chen publicly announced Tuesday. But Hoodline has not been very transparent about how long it's been in use — and to what extent its stories rely on AI. 🧵
this investigation from @AndrewChamings is a great reminder of why journalism exists: sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
A gripping and terribly sad investigation from @AndrewChamings sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
Records obtained by SFGATE's @AndrewChamings reveal a string of deadly accidents and lax regulation of the sport 📝: trib.al/CrrNbPy

My long read on the wild houseboat wars in Sausalito won "best feature of a serious nature" at the SF Press Club awards last night! One of a big haul for our terrific @SFGate newsroom. Thanks @SF_PressClub, fun night 🥂 sfgate.com/local/article/…
People don't vanish off the face of the earth. But Kristen Modafferi's case is as close as it comes. Over two decades later, here's where her case stands (from me and @AndrewChamings): sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
In the summer of 1997 a teenager vanished from a mall in San Francisco. @KatieDowd and I spoke with the people closest to the case. Maybe the saddest and most baffling story I’ve worked on. We hope someone reads it who can help find Kristen. sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…

With rumors flying about the mystery company that bought 52,000 acres in Solano County, now someone is polling locals about the possibility of a "new city" being built there. The latest from my hometown: sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
San Francisco was described as a "dying, sick city" with empty downtown buildings and a "commercial colic," in 1939. Every few decades the city is pronounced dead. It's not. sfgate.com/local/article/…

A few years ago I stumbled upon a little oasis called El Polín Spring. I wanted to write about my love for it, but the process made me ask other questions: Where does a city begin? Where is SF going? No matter the answers, you should go to El Polín! sfgate.com/essays/article…

Chen asserts that using AI helped save Hoodline, and is necessary to “build the traffic and revenue needed to employ more experienced, full-time journalists.” Read more here: sf.gazetteer.co/hoodline-using…
Now, Hoodline says these bylines is part of something called an “In-House Writing Collaborative,” a team of people publishing under a pseudonym. (Hoodline also still has human writers.) The headshots are gone. And there’s an "AI" badge next to each byline.
For example, these are headshots from one of Hoodline's writers, Nina Singh-Hudson. The left one was her headshot starting last year. It was changed to the right one a week or two ago. They look nothing alike.
Adding to the confusion: Sometime last May, Hoodline started publishing three writers with personalized bios and headshots. An AI image detector confirmed that all three writers’ headshots were likely AI-generated. None of these writers exist anywhere else online.
I’m not the only one who's noticed. But it seems like it’s been going on for a while. Max Spero, an AI content detection startup founder, told me that multiple stories published over the past year or so were AI generated. x.com/sfalin7/status…
@Hoodline who are you trying to kid with this AI word salad you're churning out? Just delete your site already. hoodline.com/2024/03/petalu…
NEW: Hoodline, the longtime local news outlet, is using AI to generate news stories, parent company CEO Zack Chen publicly announced Tuesday. But Hoodline has not been very transparent about how long it's been in use — and to what extent its stories rely on AI. 🧵
Absolutely bananas reporting from @AndrewChamings and the @SFGate about a California skydiving center that continues to operate despite 28 deaths. So many jaw-dropping graphs like this one. sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
