My “Doctor Who” idea is that the Doctor is a frog and his companion is a bear and every week they put on a variety show with the help of a very special guest star.

Why is university messaging on AI so undifferentiated? Probably b/c easiest. But to avoid coming backlash, why not try a classic academic move: unpack "AI"? It's not the same in medical/research settings vs. intro classes. We make kids learn to add/multiply by hand before we give them calculators.

CMS has finalized updated Medicare coverage for TAVR. The final NCD preserves the Heart Team, provides greater operator flexibility, removes hospital volume requirements and ends CED for symptomatic severe AS. Read more ➡️ ow.ly/qmEG50ZML89 #CardioSky

The alarms are all flashing red.
Screenshot of a thread on X by user Jacob Coxon (@hilbertspaess) detailing his resignation from Anthropic.
​The first post reads: "I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below."
​The second post reads: "Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing."
​The third post reads: "The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger."Screenshot continuing the thread on X by Jacob Coxon (@hilbertspaess).
​The first post reads: "A common response is 'if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?' At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk."
​The second post reads: "Accepting this race and entering the 'endgame' is a hubristic gamble that should not be launched from a private company's Slack. Attempting to speedrun alignment should require extraordinary confidence that there are no better trajectories available."
​The third post reads: "I am optimistic about the potential for coordination. Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between U.S. labs more viable. I don’t feel like we’re on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities."
​The fourth post reads: "If you are a lab researcher, I urge you to consider what the next few years will actually feel like. Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because 'it’s happening anyway' - or take this moment to call for different conditions?"

And if university leaders can't see public AI skepticism as a basis for swinging the pendulum back to a middle ground, then what are they waiting for?

Although my university is all in on AI (eg, there's a pilot with OpenAI to provide free, unlimited access to ChatGPT-4o), I've had a few students who have deliberately avoided using it for any purpose at all (I also don't use it) It looks like there are real benefits to NOT using AI for learning
