Here’s the thing: I could probably come up with lots of creative, AI-proof online approaches. But finding the time to reflect an innovate comes at a premium. I often revamp my courses, but this is an order of magnitude much higher in redesign. AI is not a pedagogical crisis, it’s a labor crisis.

As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.

Needle-felting perimenopausal Barbies (with changeable heads!) to help me think through my novel draft.

Diorama and felted art. A white woman's nude figure with a fox head. Hanging on the wallpapered wall are two more heads, one squid, one pilleated woodpecker, which are interchangeable with the fox head. There's a chair in the corner, and on the chair, a slug, also felted. There's a tiny painted portrait of the slug hanging on the wall. Next to the painting, a window, and outside of the window, a massive garden. The ground is covered in moss.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.
