They're forcing us to DIY the parts of society best managed by government: from disaster preparedness to education and public health. Because DIY saves billionaires a few bucks. And because DIY is so cognitively taxing that we can't strategize to fight them and can only fight each other for scraps.

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.
You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.
Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

This is completely fucked up. I know everything is fucked up, but THIS is why universities need to stand up and fight, not cave like Columbia did. NOTHING will satisfy them, and all the capitulation just leads to more demands and humiliation.
I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”
