Prediction: students who go to colleges where they sit in humanities classes of 30-300 will receive 90% fewer sustained writing, research, and reading education than students who go to schools where they sit in classes of 14, because of the way we teachers are adapting to AI cheating.

I have come to love the way that writing feels like it comes from me and not from me at the same time. The things I write feel like they are mine like nothing else does. But they also, at the same time, feel like they are not mine - that I was the conduit by which they happened.

If someone is racist and sexist then they will be inclined to look for reasons not to vote for Harris, and the left did and continues to do an excellent job at providing such reasons.

Today's humanism lecture is @rimabasu.bsky.social on Sherlock Holmes and Moral Failure and Kelly Weirich on ChatGPT and Emotional Outsourcing. In short: the moral floor is to act like a human being and treat others like a human being. Cut out the humanity at either end and you're doing it wrong.

My class listened to Ezra Klein interview C. Thi Nguyen on social media, gamification, & value capture. No shock: GPA was the clearest case of potential value capture to them, even more than social media. It’s a great podcast episode. Give it a listen! t.co/GasGP5pDKp #techethics #philsky #philtech

Take off the table the idea that this is an empirically sound and responsible argument (it's not). Instead, let's focus on where this way of talking about universities comes from and who it serves, based on recent historical precedent. A Thread . . . 1/10

Sometimes I'm gripped by the fact that it's such a struggle for many people to simply exist, and yet we now have the means, more than ever before, to give everyone at least a decent existence. But then some shareholders wouldn't become super-wealthy. Such an utterly avoidable tragedy.
