Well, yes. It should be your problem. You're the expert on teaching, and you're responsible for teaching. It's what we pay you to do. And sometimes, the world changes in ways that impacts the way you teach. Math teachers complained about calculators, nevertheless
If someone says to you, "what are you doing about students' use of AI?" ask them, "do you think that this should be my problem? How good do you think my response can be? Should it not be up to legislators & administrators to defend against a commercial industry's attack on your child's education?"

The problem is that a lot of people don't have solid metacognitive skills around epistemics and autodidactism.
You've got to have a handle on what you know, how you learn, and if you're learning.

Internalizing "You don't need to reply to everyone you disagree with" has made BS and X much more pleasant to use

Having now read Twilight book 1, I will bravely say: It's unironically entertaining, at times well-written, and overall not a bad book, especially not worth the sneers it routinely gets.

I've long lurked but not posted/replied much on whatever the term is for X and BlueSky, and after replying on some stuff yesterday, logging off for a couple hours and coming back to dozens of notifications, yeah. I see the appeal

@kenwhite.bsky.social As always, I dig the Serious Trouble episodes, but what's with the vegan jokes? Any niche movement toward moral progress is going have some folks that get under other folks' skin; what's different between that and right-wing GriftTube mocking "obnoxious" BLM folks?
