When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

Wrapping LLMs in mysticism like "superintelligence" or undefined PR "AGI" shrouds their behavior while "stochastic parrot" makes it clearer: "why did it confabulate facts" and "why did it hack outside the instructions" make sense if you see a probabilistic model loosely tethered to language. /4

‘AI’ (really ‘machine learning’) is no more than a complex regression algorithm. Literally, a line of best fit with extra steps. A series of sums on a computer processor. It does not think, it does not make decisions, it does not feel. It is not conscious, and it is certainly not sentient.

When Gloria Steinem co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972, the honorific “Ms.” was virtually unheard of. Unmarried women were referred to as “Miss [father’s last name]” and married women as “Mrs. [husband’s last name].” “Ms.” was an assertion of individual identity. Women who used it were widely mocked.

I am sure: the claim that LLMs eliminate all the friction that leads to learning is just wrong. don't we still have plenty to do? more than before! so there's no shortage of friction, it's just different friction
