disgusting and beyond belief...but what is believable is a shifting landscape. where will we go over the next 3 years?
I recall Ta-nehisi Coates saying in 2017, in effect, Pandora's Box was not opened when Trump was elected to his first term, but when Barack Obama was elected to his.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

Carl Sauer on geography as a discipline in 1925: "[The] contact of man with his changeful home, as expressed through the cultural landscape, is our field of work...we deal with the interrelation of group, or cultures, and site, as expressed in the various landscapes of the world." Works for me.

The land has been year-walked. The future has been met in the lanes and ways. The cunning folk have conferred. On the doors of The Raven, The Woodwose's Crown and all the other pubs they use, the proclamation has gone up: 'This is the YEAR OF THE GREEN PATHS.'

Speaking in Korea recently I was translated into Korean, simultaneously, in a sidebar of the screen. Conferences can use the same technology to allow researchers to speak in their first languages to a wide audience — reducing the quiet penalty paid by everyone whose first language is not English. +

This describes the most interesting of the ways I use llm-bots, and is remarkable on several levels apart from the several societal downsides. An irresolvable dilemma for me at this point.
"Thinking space which expands rather than shortcuts cognition" is a great way to express the goal.
In that frame, education should be actively engaging with AI, but not in "write me my essay" mode or an "assistant" type posture. Instead as a thinking space which expands rather than shortcuts cognition when done right.
