It's not that they didn't block UV, it's that they installed UV lights in the DJ booth because it would "look cool".
It was a purposeful choice, and no one stopped to think about why it was a bad idea. Which is totally on brand for people running a convention based around NFTs.

So it wasn’t just UV A or B which is found in normal sunlight, but the extremely dangerous and potentially cancer causing UVC radiation that your body does not have a natural resistance to and most sunscreen does not protect against either.

Probably a mix up of sorts and the responsibility lies with the contractor that installed it. I don't believe the Bored Apes crew organized everything themselves down to the lights, it's not their job. They just paid a company to do it for them.
Asia is much, much more serious than the West regarding sanitation, especially since COVID. UV door frames at the entrance of public transportation is a thing. Where I live, before entering a pharmacy during COVID I had to step in a pond of sanitizer, then was sprayed with the same, then had to wash my hands.
I'm not surprised the contractor had a stockpile of UV tubes to be used specifically for sanitation purpose. Now, did they just confused them with regular black light tubes or did they use them on purpose, or a mix of the two? I guess there's going to be an investigation to sort that out. Wouldn't like to be them, the Hong Kong judicial system is not known for being lenient, quite the opposite.
They thought it would be the “can’t make babies” kind of sterilization. They were just trying to help prevent the creation of more crypto bros.

Big Clive on YouTube just posted a reaction video to this story. He mentioned that it happened recently in Hong Kong at an event by the fashion label Hype Beast. He then goes on to look through pictures of the event and actually located what appear to be germicidal tubes used instead of black light tubes.
They used the wrong type of bulb. Ordinarily the bulb will be made of a UV blocking glass, and not be quartz based. I think? So it’s not usually the shroud that stops UV except in cases of Halogen bulbs. These would be CFL without any shield except perhaps a cage to protect against things thrown.
I’m assuming it’s not a bathroom and just a display thing. I don’t know why, but they have an obsession with toilets and the stuff in them. They made a sewer based mobile game with the monkeys before. It makes the fact people are that into them even more confusing.

To be fair the idea behind nft’s is great when its about tracking a commodity, item or piece of information.
Its making them “THE” commodity that is cringe levels of stupid.
I still hope that one day press will have professional onlines cameras generating an nft with location, time and camera id for every piece of footage. No more fake news with misused imagery.

Right, it’s sad how nfts are just a joke now because of the worst possible execution of what an nft could do/be became a massive scam
I get what you want, I mostly fail to see how NFTs help there either. If a digital camera is generating the SHA256 or whatever that even links to the video file (and this would only work for the RAW, not even compressed for transmission data), then it’s a computer generating the data. I don’t really see why you couldn’t just have a computer generate a “fake camera” - it’s not like you’re going to be able to audit all the cameras a news org uses, and it’d be easy for someone to say they “lost” a camera, or it was stolen or whatever. And for the user submitted stuff from smartphones or their video cameras … etc.
The problem with NFTs is always the link to the actual thing IMO. There’s just no cryptographic way to link a physical item or anything that doesn’t itself fit on the chain, nor is there a way to verify the original claims input that’s outside the blockchain - i.e. it’ll verify when the NFT was uploaded to the chain, but not when the video was taken. There’s no obvious way for the blockchain to validate the GPS data provided (or not) by the camera that took the video etc.

Appreciating your points, it’s true that while the camera wouldn’t be foolproof, the nft can still significantly augment the traceability of media. When official channels and news is encouraged to source footage from there then certified uploaders would add a layer of trust, and legal reuse could be monitored effectively with a clickable badge/mark It’s not without its vulnerabilities, but it’s a step towards a more accountable media landscape. And makes it easier for people to dismiss random propaganda imagery shared online.
Does it? People misunderstood SSL so badly thr browsers started hiding the lock icon and actual details of the certs.
But your idea still comes down to who you trust. If you trust the NYT then you’re going to go to their site they already control to see their images. If you aren’t sourcing the images from random third parties then this does nothing. And if you’re already trusting random Facebook pages, they can also NFT their posts.
You seem to think no one can certify upload accounts now? But of course they do already.
