Things will get worse as more students secretly use AI to do homework. There has always been a divide between those who care about education for its own sake and those who only care about grades, but AI will worsen this divide, leaving fewer people with the ability to do causal reasoning.

One of the most striking parts of the #hantavirus is that we are watching modern outbreak response collide with modern information chaos in real time. The virus is spreading far slower than the information about it. And that may be one of the defining public health challenges of our era.

Really important to be clear here: While the drumbeat of news and the locations of patients may sound like this virus is spreading, all of the cases so far were on the ship. That’s exactly what you’d expect from a virus that doesn’t easily spread human to human but found the right environment.
