Why do LLMs statistically churn out the word "tapestry" so often? I never saw the word "tapestry" in student writing before LLMs. Now, everywhere!!

Today Trump signed an order to dismantle the Dept. of Education. This guts the Department’s ability to support public schools, strips resources from students, and leaves states to fend for themselves. We are joining forces with like minded organizations to take action. 3 steps you can take below:

Rare nice weather in the Houston area. A beautiful day!

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Could we call it the difference between narrow self-interest (which she voted for, as a promise of free IVF) and a commitment to the broader good (which she voted against, and turns out it included her govt. job)? Should we know that the narrower good may be too narrow for ourselves & what we love?

A strong call for higher education institutions to do everything they can to defend themselves against people who have pledged to destroy them.

How can we respond to the onslaught of attacks on higher ed? Feb 13 at 8pm ET/7pm CT/6pm MT/5pm PT: workers & allies from around the US will come together in a national strategy call. Register: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... @uaw.org @aftunion.bsky.social @cwaunion.bsky.social @aaup.bsky.social

US higher education had become a world-class sector, one of the greatest strengths of this country, even with the amount of work still to be done in making it more just and equitable. But a cabal of mediocre whites, out of pure spite and belligerent stupidity, have decided to choke it to death.

No instructor I know (who isn't a miserable asshole) WANTS an adversarial relationship with their students. We just want you to actually learn the material, & understand why it's important to do so. We want you as robustly capable as we can manage, on the other side of our time with you. That's it.

Here's the platform here that the UCLA professor is using for her Lit course. It tells you that you bring your own materials to create a textbook kudu.com

I'm done with the way this is being represented. The professor created the materials. It's all hers. It's being compiled into a course text by an A.I. platform. I've used Pressbooks and Google sites to do something similar. This is not a course taught by A.I.

Students should study the humanities not because it makes them better workers but because it rips you open and breaks your brain and changes everything you thought you knew. I *promise* you this. I *promise* it has this ability, no matter how smart you think you are. I have seen it countless times.
