AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Without the DISCIPLINE called “mathematics education,” mathematics will end up being only for the machines in the future, not us. Our field is existentially important for the preservation (in humanity) of this very important & ancient tradition (viz. mathematics): it’s an ACCOUNT of the human race.

Professors spent years convincing students that good writing meant following prescriptivist rules that stripped their writing of their unique voice and are now mad that students have taken that message to heart and are now ceding their voice to AI in order to better follow these prescriptivist norms

AI is the new Thing-as-objet-a. So, I doubt this failure of it will even register with anyone; in effect, “it just has to be tweaked, but we should still pour our subjectivity into it.” – I became totally fed up this semester and laid down my own Law with my students.

Fascist consolidation in 2025 necessitates a #Trotskyist orientation going forward. At least this is what I’ve surmised in the US context. I doubt we will turn towards it. And it is a strange/complicated feeling for me to avow this.

Fredric Jameson on the importance of international education on the development of Philosophy as a field people wanted to study, before it was "reconquered" by "professional philosophy"...
I think that the passage in this period from philosophy to what we call "theory" is part of that liberation. Suddenly, philosophy is freed of its systemic ambitions. Here's an anecdote. One of Sartre's closest friends in school was Raymond Aron, a conservative, pro-American political sci- entist. In those days, the French government had scholarships to various foreign countries. They started a whole French school in Brazil. Lévi- Strauss himself taught in that school and his early work is the result of that contact with Brazil. Roland Barthes taught on this scholarship in Egypt, because the French had a teaching fellowship in Cairo. There was one in Berlin, and when Aron had just gotten back he said, "There's this thing called phenomenology. What does it mean?" He is sitting in a cafe with Sartre and Beauvoir, and Aron says, "What it means is: you can philosophize about that glass of beer." Suddenly, the whole idea that phenomenology allowed one to think, write, and philosophize about elements of daily life transforms everything. As historically reconstructed by participants, the drink turns out to have been a crème de menthe, but that doesn't matter too much. That's the lesson that these people got from phenomenology, and that's what seems to me to set off this immense period of liberation from philosophy, a liberation toward theory. But, in the fourth period, this kind of thinking is folding back down, and we are seeing once again that professional philosophy has reconquered these terrains that were opened up by theory.
