Maybe, if you're not actually in university classrooms, teaching students in the age of gAI, perhaps you might want to stop and listen when people actually in those classrooms raise concerns about what they are seeing; and not just dismiss us as luddites, or boomers, or cruel profs playing cops

Remember:
When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.
ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Ein Schulleiter genehmigt ein Praktikum bei der AfD nicht und erfüllt damit seine demokratische Pflicht. Wir leben aber in einer Gesellschaft, in der eine solche Slebstverständlichkeit zu Morddrohungen führt und zu Feindmarkierung durch steuergeldlich finanzierten Rechtsextremisten (🎁Link).

Darf ein Zehntklässler ein Praktikum bei der AfD-Landtagsfraktion machen? Nein, sagte ein Schulleiter aus Teltow und verwies auf das Schulgesetz. Hier berichtet er erstmals, was danach geschah.

It is EXHAUSTING not only being made responsible for coming up with new kinds of assignments for our students; it's also tedious reading op-eds that suggest the core problem is a crisis in teaching. But, as Chris and I lay out here, this isn't a crisis in teaching; it's an attack on learning.
