The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Over 30 North Carolina voters spoke during public comment against the proposed maps stating how this process directly erodes public trust and democracy in our state. The maps have been called racist and cruel, diluting Black voting power that has been preserved in CD1 for generations #ncpol

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

One thing Democratic Party leadership and pundits are failing to fully grasp is just how much trust has been lost in them.
The average Democratic voter feels betrayed that in the face of a second Trump term, the Democratic Party pushed for President Biden to run again, all while funding a genocide.

The Marco Rubio who testified today is not the one I served with in the Senate. He has had a full MAGA lobotomy.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
