It maybe goes without saying at this point, but this is really bad journalism! Like, on the syllabus as example, bad.
I love how the Times keeps going back to the same callous, racist down-home folks to seek their sanction for this administration’s cruelty and incompetence. This week: what do you think of the boat strikes?

They claim financial exigency, but then turn down $4 million pledges to keep the PhD programs open and disregard financial analyses that point to the real problem—bad real estate deals, spending on consultants, and their own salaries 2/2

I was in a ridiculous meeting once where the goal was to define what a franchise meant for Netflix films. I have never wanted to hurl myself into the ocean more than during that meeting. I think they bought WB so they can inherit proven franchises instead of doing the work of developing them.

Yeah. Drowning and not fighting to survive proves you are a non-combatant. Struggling to save your life shows you might be a threat at some point in the future. Possibly. Either way you die!

May use this as a discussion jumping off point in a class next term.
Or better yet: make GenAI about an assault on civics. Because if you are selling a product that necessarily attempts to con one person into believing they are engaging with another person when they are not, you’re not just ruining education. You’re dismantling society’s foundations in social trust.

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

At the beginning of this semester, my higher ed institution formalized guidelines stating that students should not be using AI for their classwork at all. The training for staff and faculty to use AI has quietly dropped off the schedule, too. The pushback is working!

Infrastructure and user consent for AI are brittle, despite what tech boosters hype would like you to believe. We can force our schools to renegotiate bad tech contracts and demand they consult us, among many other things. “AI is over if we want it”!!
The AAUP Ad Hoc committee on AI and Academic Professions & colleagues will discuss ongoing strategy building in the movement for tech justice and freedom from surveillance.
We also want to hear from you – what you are thinking about, your needs & how you engage with the topic of AI in education.

60,000 African penguins starve to death after sardine numbers collapse – study
Climate crisis and overfishing contributed to loss of 95% of penguins in two breeding colonies in South Africa, research finds
More than 60,000 penguins in colonies off the coast of South Africa have starved to death as a result of disappearing sardines, a new paper has found.
More than 95% of the African penguins in two of the most important breeding colonies, on Dassen Island and Robben Island, died between 2004 and 2012. The breeding penguins probably starved to death during the moulting period, according to the paper, which said the climate crisis and overfishing were driving declines. Continue reading...
