The newest and most powerful A.I. technologies — so-called reasoning systems from companies like OpenAI, Google and the Chinese start-up DeepSeek — are generating more errors, not fewer. As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier.
A.I. Hallucinations Are Getting Worse, Even as New Systems Become More Powerful

We want the war horse.
Jesus rides a donkey.
We want the eagle.
The Holy Spirit descends as a dove.
We want to take up swords.
Jesus takes up a cross.
We want the roaring lion.
God comes as a slaughtered lamb.
We keep trying to arm God.
God keeps trying to disarm us.

Thinking about calls for students to refine their prompt engineering skills because it's supposed to help secure The Jobs of the Future and wondering if instead we should be working with youth to analyze the political economy of AI, develop a Luddite praxis, and build coalitions to fight back.
Elon Musk and the Trump administration are actively aiming to kill 200,000 American jobs. They are targeting the most vulnerable workers and workers in agencies that most threaten the billionaire class, and aiming to replace them with low-rent AI.
