This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands
And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

To bear out this rosy projection, HSBC assumes that OpenAI will become "as ubiquitous [...] as Microsoft 365" (345mm users worldwide) while bringing in 10x the number of users (3bn).

Cognetti: We don’t want Joe Rogan or OAN talking about this district because we have a congressman who has become one of the most prolific stock traders—someone who dumped six figures’ worth of Medicaid provider stock a week before he trashed a trillion dollars of Medicaid.

A “shift to looser regulation is ‘likely to reduce the resilience of the banking sector to systemic market shocks.’”
A key lesson from 2008 was “heavily indebted banks lacked the equity capital to absorb large losses, leaving regulators [to let] banks fail or bail them out to protect depositors.”

The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

The Labor Party in England is now proposing to get rid of almost all jury trials in England to make the criminal punishment bureaucracy more efficient. This should be a warning for us all. Neoliberals are walking us into the waiting arms of authoritarians.

In 1969, we moved into a house from were I’m living now, which is a small 1 1/2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment.
For a few years, we had a full empty basement. I got one of these for Christmas and remember going “krazy” in the basement.
