I wrote this piece advocating for its creation of the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, which turns 3 years old today. We have to renew our commitment to this fight. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

Let's permanently protect the Grand Canyon and kill a myth about national parks

An honest look at the history of how our national park system came to be can be sobering. It began with the violence of the frontier.

The role of ChatGPT in the accused FSU shooter’s case goes beyond providing tips, our investigation reveals. In the 12 months before his attack, he messaged with ChatGPT more than 6,600 times—including conversations revealing he was aggrieved, focused on extremist violence, and suicidal.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

Rule:
The use of AI is prohibited for aid in conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising,
translating, or editing any work submitted for credit. AI use is prohibited for any use for
any purpose in any exam situation. Students may not upload course
materials—including assignments, readings, slides, class recordings, or other class
content—into generative AI systems. AI can be used for research on papers ONLY for the
limited purpose of identifying sources, such as cases, statutes, or secondary sources.
Students are responsible for the accuracy of their research and all other aspects of their
submitted work. Citations to sources that do not exist will raise a presumption of
prohibited AI use

Hard to keep up with Kang's hackery. Probably not worth the trouble. But... The primary source for this story is Kevin Carey (who has never worked for a school). He has been an EdTech shill for decades, promoting a series of failed rollouts. His think tank is funded by technofeudalists.

What I wish for everybody to remember when Canvas comes back online: The reason OUR data can be held for ransom is because Instructure, their owners (KKR private equity & Dragoneer venture capital), & our own employers (see ASU Atomic) monetize it. It's Canvas that hacked education & stole our IP.

A lot of my sense of political life has been founded on opposition to Western military adventures in the Middle East. That's three decades or so of hating this, maybe not much but not nothing either. Even relative to all that - this latest war in Iran may just be the worst. Certainly the stupidest.

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.
