CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

Between this and the recent articles from Chronicle of Higher Ed and New York mag about AI-facilitated cheating, I have to wonder how many classes are now a closed loop of homework generated by ChatGPT, whose answers are written by ChatGPT, which are then graded by ChatGPT.
Now it's the professors using ChatGPT. Students aren't happy about it.
I talked to professors. I talked to students. I read the scathing reviews on Rate My Professors.

Hear me out. No more interviews of the weird pronatalist couple.
Interview the neighborhood dads. The guy who mows the lawn of an elderly neighbor. The people who live self-sacrificial lives that make other people’s lives better. Normalize that.
