If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

The American Federation of Teachers is teaming up with a company under investigation for promoting murder suicides whose product, which it admits is based on stolen work, has been used to create nudes and harass students. And kids are supposed to take ethics guidance from them. Ok!

AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.

Tonight Ketkrókur (Meat Hook), the 12th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He loves meat and uses a long metal hook to steal mutton hanged up in rafters for smoking.
Children leave their shoes out in the window, he gives the good ones a small gift, the bad ones get a potato.

legitimately love this guy.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

From outside this may sound like an elitist "you poor baby you deprived yourself of knowledge" But no, it's a legit problem. You went straight from point A to point M, but the interstitial steps are SO important! All of those give you information and context. They make you better in the future.
Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.
