If I assign students a reading from Proquest Ebook Central via my university library, they immediately see an AI "Research assistant" that offers a 1-paragraph summary of the 15-pp chapter, plus "key takeaways" & "concepts."

There's even a handy "copy" button to past that info into your paper!

Maybe this is a conversation we need every 10 yrs in a consumer-driven capitalist society. Purely transactional relationship is an inappropriate model for ed & for healthcare too. It’s also anathema to religion, despite the “prosperity gospel” charlatans. What makes us human isn’t measured in ROI.

Amazing how this keeps being relevant.
What’s so, so fucking stupid is how often these dickhead techbros with too much money, who’ve never been told once that they aren’t as smart as they think they are, are trying to take SOLVED PROBLEMS and attack them from first principles - with zero knowledge of, or interest in, the subject matter.
remember that weird little Titan submersible that imploded, killing some billionaires last year? well, the US Coast Guard released more documentation, including photos, so let's take a look! 🧵

The SEC model - aggressive, loss-leading investments in athletics, the abandonment of any kind of commitment to inquiry, the roll-out of new (automated, quietly implemented, algorithmic) censorship regimes mediated by enterprise software…that’s all now VERY visible locally.

Rogue administrator with a “great new idea” perhaps?

My college’s MarCom team has enough agita over program and department social media accounts popping up out of nowhere. New accounts for each course? Yikes. Not, as the saying goes, best practice.
