Wrote a short piece arguing that higher ed must help steer AI. TLDR: If we outsource this to tech, we outsource our whole business. But rejectionism is basically stalling. If we want to survive, schools themselves must proactively shape AI for education & research. [1/6, unpaywalled at 5/6] +

in 20 years the field is going to see the replicability movement for the mistake it was, and those who spent their time will just be forgotten.

@minzlicht.bsky.social the longer you delay the QReP paper from coming out the worse off you and yours are going to look when it does come out - and the more years you and yours will have wasted.
we have an empirical paper coming that handles all your 'criticisms' e.g., no expertise, no piloting

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Cheating with an LLM is the easiest thing in the world for a student to do, but it creates a massive, laborious headache for a prof, if you intend to take it seriously. There’s meetings, emails, discussions, moral dilemmas. It’s just incredibly burdensome, on top of everything else right now.
I had 9 meetings about students using Chat GPT/LLMs on their papers today.
If you want to know why professors burn out, ask anyone trying to teach critical thinking and writing skills to Freshmen....

when real money is on the line the truth comes out
New data on the corporate ROI from generative AI from a large-scale tracking survey by my colleagues at Wharton.
They found that 75% already have a positive return on investment from AI, less than 5% negative. Also 46% of businesses leaders use AI daily. knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/special-repo...

When the notoriously leftwing institution of the <checks notes> papacy is telling your country it’s gone too far right
Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."
Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life'

article's conclusion is both inspiring and unsettling: if you're making strategic plans based on linear projections of AI capabilities, you're probably wrong. The only certainty is that things will change faster than you think.

nobody has any real objections, just name calling
so you think arguing against AI in science is going to be a long term good take?
did you try my suggestion to replace AI in the paper with 'computer' or 'printing press'?
