Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide?
"It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

There's a lot of talk about how to monitor screen time for kids. But for kids to have healthy relationships with technology and smartphones, parents need to model good habits. Here's how. n.pr/4qUnkjx

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same.

Doing some research for a presentation, & came across this article: "Convenience has become a cultural value in its own right—often eclipsing substance, depth, and the discomfort that real learning requires." While this is aimed at university, I fear the same is true for K-12. #TLSky
Only the Humanities Can Save the University from AI
As AI disrupts the dominant credentialing model in higher education, only a return to the university’s formative mission—rooted in the pursuit of truth—can secure its future.

I'm curious if/how they will find a resolution and what other products might be impacted down the road. Thanks, AI, for ruining research.
Interesting. A library decides they can’t renew a database because their users would immediately violate the license terms by using the university’s Microsoft products that have force fed copilot into everything.
Great future we’re building here in the higher ed factory

Fascinating to see how one academic library vendors is trying to restrict students/faculty using LLMs.

People have serious misconceptions about stoicism, & Holiday gets undeserved flak because bros misinterpret his work and became bigger a-holes. I've been studying Holiday's books for 2 years, & they've helped me be a better human. I recommend giving this a view!
