I have reason to believe that outsourcing a responsibility whose intricacies you don’t fully understand to someone else with even less grasp of those intricacies is a bad idea.

Tonight is a good night to bring up––once again––how I attribute my scholarly methodologies, habits, and perspectives to the fact that 80% of my readings in undergrad were shitty photocopies of my profs' books.

Spent 40m today reading a kid’s essay and writing to her about it. The takeaway won’t be better writing—it’ll be that someone who cares about her thinks she’s on the right track. Everyone who thinks they’re smart thinks so because someone took time w their work and told them so.
“…faculty members will be able to click an icon that connects them with various AI features…, like a grading tool, a discussion-post summarizer… Canvas’s parent company, Instructure, is also in partnership w/ OpenAI… so instructors can use generative-AI technology as part of their assignments.”
Instructors Will Now See AI Throughout a Widely Used Course Software

“Scholars have lost access to one of the members of the very short list of funders still funding the academic humanities. Ford, Javits, and Carnegie, to name just a few of the biggest foundations, largely abandoned grantmaking for humanists in the 2010s.”
