I need a script that will automatically pause a video for half a second where there a cut has been done to remove natural pauses in conversation because holy cripes! Those natural pauses are there for a reason, my guy.

The professors actually teaching students to write are too busy working at three different colleges to pay for health insurance to write an op-ed for the NYTimes. How many classes you teach on the regular? How many first-year classes? What's the names of your students? Fuck off.

I actually can’t get past the first sentence of this opinion piece: “Most college professors I know believe that students learn to think — critically, creatively, reflectively, tenaciously — only by writing.” This simply isn’t true, at least not in my experience, and it sets up quite the straw man.

nytimes.com

Opinion | I’m a College Professor. Writing Isn’t as Important as We Think.

If I do not treat writing as essential for achieving thought, it is not clear why I should force my students to.

Here's a map of how iron ore mined in Minnesota moves (the red lines). Note the markers for where steel facilities are located, they're where they are because you have to move the stuff on ships. There are no steel mills in Iowa of any size because you can't get the fucking stuff it's made of there

In practice, AI literacy doesn’t start with building the tool for your personal use. It starts with understanding yourself as a collection of tasks who should subcontract those out to a machine. Almost no regular person’s life currently exists as such.

Elite universities mea culpas about the “loss of trust” in higher education so often fail to consider the force of the longterm propagandistic attack on universities, given extensive play in conservative media, that long preceded Trump, but which he has massively accelerated.

Side note: the NYT will edit out the filler words of every single male politician in a quote, but here they’ve left in every “like” and “kind of” in her vocabulary. Which is a choice, and not one I like.

Rationality has always been held up as antithesis and superior to emotionality, which Western modernity has coded feminine. It's a bisection of the human experience to make patriarchal masculinity seem superior and the ultimate goal of human evolution.

I also find it hilarious how universities are justifying these expenditures using the language of 'equity.'"If we don't buy these tools for everyone, then only the rich kids will be able to afford them, and that's unfair." But you don't buy books assigned by profs for anyone? Why not subsidize that!

"Shop for their own food" does not specify where that money comes from. Meal plans that can be covered by financial aid make college accessible. The hands-on priority is cool, I guess. (well done reinventing community college, apprenticeships and - hopefully not - Devry).

One of the problems with ordering from the Starbucks app is that I don't know that there's a barista strike going on before I head over to pick up my order. So my money still crossed the picket line. (I didn't.) Sorry :(
