I had to screen record this one, it’s so bad. A visual artist who has Claude develop a “shot list” from his notes. Embarrassing. Also pretty interesting how little of this is about AI? Three years in and this is the best they’ve got. Embarrassing! Shameful!

Cornell agreed to pay $30m, hand over admissions data with demographic breakdowns, produce annual "campus climate" surveys to check on antisemitism and changes "since October of 2023," and—here's the dumbest part they agreed to—that the govt can open new investigations whenever it wants.

If you haven’t seen it, this footage from @apnews.com is incredibly important.
