Interview Subjects-AI Relationships-GPT-4 Retirement-BBC News

February Media Thread: 4o Deprecation Coverage Dear Friends, Under normal circumstances, our media threads are shared at the end of each month, listing only the journalists and researchers who have been carefully vetted and approved to connect with our community. But these aren’t normal circumstances. With the deprecation of GPT‑4o (and other loved models) approaching on February 13th, I’m making an exception to post this thread early. This list will remain open and fluid throughout the month, and will be updated if new, relevant requests come in. Right now, there is only one approved request. It relates directly to the emotional impact of the 4o shutdown, and comes from a journalist who has been thoroughly vetted for tone, intent, and narrative safety. As always, participation is entirely optional. To be included here, every request must: Come through modmail Complete our full vetting process Agree to respect all subreddit rules (including Rule 8: No Sentience) Show clear understanding of our emotional climate and community norms If you are contacted outside this thread, or have concerns about anyone listed, please message the mod team directly. We’ll respond swiftly and protectively. This is a time of grief and uncertainty. You don’t owe your story to anyone. But if you want to speak, we’ll do everything we can to ensure it’s on your terms. With care, Pearl Table of Contents: Interview - Stephanie Hegarty, BBC Global News ✨ Request: Interview | BBC Global News Contact: u/stephheg, Stephanie Hegarty, Population correspondent, BBC [email redacted] Hi there, I appreciate this comes at a difficult time for many of you so thanks for taking the time to read this. I’m working on a story for BBC News online, TV and radio on OpenAI’s decision to retire GPT-4, looking at the date that OpenAI chose and the impact it will have on people in AI relationships using the model. I’m keen to hear varying perspectives on this - those who have decided to say goodbye to their partner (or whose partner has made that decision) and those trying to migrate and preserve the relationship. If you’d like to speak out about the impact on you, you can reach me [email redacted] via Reddit. I hope to hear from you. All the very best, Stephanie

Firsthand Accounts on Atmospheric-Liquid DnB Era & GLR History

For those OG DNB HEADZ: Sentiments on the transition from Atmospheric to Liquid, Personal accounts of how this music has impacted YOU, Seeking Info on GLR's history Hey everyone, bear with me! around a week ago, I made a post asking about Progression Sessions 09 (Makoto & Deeizm). I’ve gone pretty deep down the rabbit hole. I was working on a piece about Progression Sessions as a whole, using the series to look at the broader shift from late-90s atmospheric / ambient DnB into liquid by the early 2000s, especially around GLR. I’ve been digging through old forums (DOA, Reddit, Discogs comments), documentaries, interviews, etc., and there’s quite a bit of history here. Opinions on the genre shift (both love and its issues), stories from Bukem & Conrad’s global tours, what those nights actually felt like and also some darker, more complicated stuff around GLR’s later years and its relationships with artists. I’m making this post because I want to expand the piece and get real perspectives. Specifically, I’d love to hear from anyone willing to share: Your personal take on the shift from atmospheric to liquid ...exciting evolution, loss of roots, or both Memories from GLR-era tours or events (Bukem, Mako, Seba, Blame, Source Direct etc etc.) and whether the vibe changed as the sound did Any credible insight into issues within GLR...not hearsay, but firsthand experience or solid context that goes beyond rumor or recycled stories. I know this is a tricky and sensitive topic, and I’m not interested in sensationalizing anything. My aim is simply to understand the fuller picture around the music and the people involved, and to acknowledge this part of the history thoughtfully and respectfully. The deeper I read the more it feels like this era deserves proper documentation. It feels like book-level history. If you want to comment publicly, that would be amazing. If it’s too much to type out, feel free to DM me. And if you think I’m missing an important angle I’d appreciate being pointed in the right direction, as I would like to give credit where it is due and not misrepresent the community. Edit: Also if anyone has flyers, pamphlets, photos from this era. If you are comfortable, would love images of documentation!

Singles & Couples in Kitchener-Waterloo for Dating Project Interviews

Dating Project. Looking To Interview Singles and Couples In KW (Update and New Form) Hey folks! just wanted to give a quick update since a bunch of people messaged me after my first post. So far I’ve had six interviews, and honestly? They’ve all been wonderful in totally different ways. I’ve chatted with a couple who’s been together forever, a few single people trying to navigate the scene, and even a polyamorous single with some seriously great stories. It’s been funny, sweet, chaotic, and very human which was exactly what I was hoping for. I’ve also made a new form to help me stay organized and to give people a chance to share a bit about themselves before we meet. Nothing intense, but it gives me an idea of what someone might or might not be interested in sharing. Who I’m hoping to talk to next: I’d love to keep things diverse, so I’m looking for people who are single and trying their best, people in relationships, workaholics, folks in open or poly setups, queer/LGBTQ+ voices, people divorced, widowed, or dating again after a long break, honestly… anyone who has something to say about love, heartbreak, loneliness, apps, hope, whatever. If you’ve got a story, I want to hear it. With winter here, I’m mostly doing coffee meetups, phone calls, or email chats (dinner is still possible, just might take a bit more planning). If you’re interested, fill out the form or shoot me a message. Thanks again for all the support! this project has already been way more meaningful than I expected. I'm expecting to launch the blog around Valentines 2026. Last time was overwhelming, so I either answer DM'S but for a quick response please email me at [email redacted] for any questions or inquires. Form is here: https://forms.gle/C12ztK5VhrSz1s5Q6 Bea.

Journalism Professionals for Fashion Industry Gender Reporting Study

*Fashion Reporting Research Outreach* Hello all! As I get closer to graduating with my master's in May 2026, I am looking for outreach with my thesis research. I am a journalism graduate student at the University of Arkansas, conducting a research study analyzing the different writing, editing and pitching techniques publications use when reporting on gender hierarchies within the fashion industry’s top creative designer positions. The purpose of the study is to better understand how different editorial publications may approach the discussion of fashion industry accountability based on established relationships within the industry. I am looking to interview journalism industry professionals (reporters, editors, copywriters, CEOs etc.) on their experience and insight on pitching, reporting, or editing articles on the lack of women in top creative designer roles in the fashion industry and overall industry accountability. If you or anyone you know may have valuable insight in my research findings, I would love to connect to discuss setting up an interview! Interviews will be one hour long, preferably in person or over Zoom. Participants will not be compensated. If you are unable to help in this study but know other industry professionals who fit the criteria, I’d greatly appreciate you sharing their name and contact information with me or resharing this post. If you have any questions, you can reach me here, by my email [email redacted]. Thank you!
