A Palestinian woman has her left leg and hand swathed in bandages. Despite the bandages it is possible to see that her leg is severely swollen, and fluid has soaked through in one place.

"An AI agent went rogue" also feels like a test drive for an era when no one is responsible for the worst things these products do. Seems like a standard that could be really convenient for certain governments.

Being good at teaching, at pedagogy, is a skill that is often wholly distinct from being a good historian, or biologist, or dance educator. There are people who have spent their lives studying pedagogy and who respond with nuance to all kinds of teaching situations.
