“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”
AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education
Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

Even after adjusting for demographics & treatments, young adults had lower recovery rates & were more likely to deteriorate.
If outcomes were equal across age groups, 23,000 more young adults would have recovered over four years.
So how can services do better?

Are NHS Talking Therapies failing young adults?
A new study analysed data from 1.5 million people treated for anxiety or depression in England. It found that outcomes were consistently worse for 16–24 year olds, compared with adults aged 25-65.

Hitler did NOT have schizophrenia, because:

It also completely ignores that the circumstances which necessitate people seeking asylum change, so someone may come to the UK to study and then require asylum later. Gaining an education in certain circumstances can actually lead to people needing to seek asylum.
This makes you angry, cos it's a reannouncement of a load of stupid ideas cooked up by the Home Office, a dept so hard of thinking it can barely keep its doors open. But it's also richly (if darkly) comic, because it will increase gaming, degrade stats and achieve exactly the opposite of its intent.

Academics (including the journal’s founder) told Wiley to pound sand, started an open access journal, and Wiley just surrendered. I think more academics should tell academic publishers to pound sand. They are vampires.
Wiley officially closes the Journal of Political Philosophy, which was abandoned by its editorial team and shunned by academics after Wiley attempted moves that would have compromised the journal's editorial independence.
