If only all our institutions of higher learning held this line, we might at least slow the tide of student (and faculty) ai-genersted slop

"Intellectual growth occurs at every stage, from brainstorming to fine-tuning a final draft. If writing is thinking, then any part of the struggle that is outsourced to technology amounts to relinquishing some freedom to perceive."

In my ongoing uphill battle against AI use in student assignments, I included a prompt in white text in 4 point font to include the words "goose" and "banana" in the text. Aside from being an embarrassingly bad answer anyway, here is the result. We are doomed. #ai #assignmentfail #llm #aislop

Lebanon 🇱🇧 President Joseph Aoun sent a clear message to Hezbollah's Secretary-General: "Negotiating with Israel is not betrayal. The real betrayal is starting wars on behalf of others."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there is a world of difference between fighting to dismantle Iran's war machine with the *slim* hope of setting conditions for the regime to fall to enable the Iranian people to retake their country and threatening genocide. More terrible days ahead.
