I’ve been really disappointed with him too, which is why I wasn’t arguing your point either lol

Fair but probably should be assumed.

How else would you phrase it because it literally will be cast that way?

I’m not sure this is the best demonstration of your argument, because descriptive vs prescriptive questioning exists.

I’m really glad that ad was shown because I had the exact same reaction, and wouldn’t have known to immediately turn it off (default is on) without it. Even paused the game to do it.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

And all the tourists you mentioned…maybe try more reading, less reply-guy.

Hence the phrase “well-known.”

To be fair that is a pic of the Stockyards, probably the most well-known area in Fort Worth.

The only evidence I’ve seen you post was for high schoolers and undergrads, which seems plausible.

Essentially, though there’s a touch more nuance. The writing hasn’t been up to standard so far and we’ve had better candidates. If ai can get to grad level writing, we’ll see.

This reply seems misplaced. I haven’t mentioned “feeling.” And I can’t tell if you actually read the post you replied to. If you had, it would be no surprise that said essays were rejected.

Vague, non-specific, and distant when asked about personal experiences, and turns of phrase that are odd and almost sound like second language usages when the student is a native English speaker. This is at the grad level, so expectations are higher than undergrad.

They weren’t good essays, AI or not.

Andrew @andrew5979.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

So far it’s happened very rarely and only with applicants that were questionable going into the essays, but as ai writing gets better it’ll definitely get more complicated.

Can confirm, as a faculty member on an admissions committee.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

Technically more accurate parallel but the alliteration and name recognition is better the other way.

Thanks, yeah when I replied the thread didn’t show up for me at first. An interesting area of the country for religion for sure!

In my Christian history course in seminary we talked about the Burned over district. Haven’t searched but I’d be shocked if there aren’t books about it. I’ll reach out to my old prof and see.

Great game, however it didn’t accept USF for South Florida.

This amazing cover of Radiohead's "Creep" by college junior Erin Morton made the rounds earlier this year on TikTok, but I only saw it over the weekend. In case you haven't heard it yet, prepare to get goosebumps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsrN...

Yeah. Still crashed for a day, just not 2-3 days like previously. I’m hoping as we get used to them that’ll taper, but we’ll see.
