Having just started teaching new undergraduates at uni, I think we're missing a key issue in the debate about AI: these kids do not know how *not* to use AI, full stop. We assume they are 'digital natives' but they are not and a Google Scholar search is as alien to them as an archival card-index.

Having the experience for the very first time that people comment in droves under on of my posts is exiting and sobering at the same time. Most seem not to get the point I was trying to make, which makes me question my English skills. Is that how it feels for people with a following every day?

We all are prone to use our own toolsets to explain the world. For me, that means comparing the Fall of the US Republic to the deatruction of the Roman Republic, both caused by a small class of people gotten uncontrollably rich (by tech now, by foreign wars then) and the influence that money bought.

In retrospect, I think the town hall scenes from "Parks and Recreation"--which concluded its run in 2015--may be the most prescient fiction of this era. At the time, we laughed and joked about how close they hewed to reality. We had no idea.
