My favorite example of administrative burden: our MVC had "cut the line" passes because almost no one ever gets the ID reqs right the first time. They send you off with a pass to reduce wait time when you come back, choosing to continue the cycle (instead of, I don't know, fixing the root issue) 2/2

New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission has such a reputation that when I went to swap my license for an Ontario one, the lovely folks there just sighed, "Oh, NJ" when I handed over my documentation. It all eventually worked out but I appreciate that NJ makes nothing easy. 1/2 #NeverChangeJersey

Explored the Jewish Museum and (still operational) synagogue in Belmonte, Portugal. It hit me after that there was no police or security presence at all. We were welcomed in both places- no id checks or anything. I can't remember the last time I went to a synagogue that open and accessible.

We also saw similar decreases in scholarships for our students in NYU's MPA/MA in Jewish Studies dual degree. Struck me as hyper focused and responsive to a specific moment, to the detriment of Jewish communal leadership long term. Great observations here. ejewishphilanthropy.com/bronfman-fel...

Some Thoughts on AI, LLMs and BS

I do not know how many of you use LLMs like Chat GPT. It appears at least some students feel ‘anxious, confused and distrustful’ about AI in the classroom and among their peers and/or are not happy about their professors using these tools.

My recommendation and preference in this class: avoid using large language models (LLMs) like Chat GPT.

In return, I promise not to use AI detectors like TurnItIn. These technologies turn up too many false positives, provide your words - uncompensated - to large companies, and undermine the trust and community I hope we build together in class. I also use an ungrading approach to assessment that emphasizes your learning.

LLMs are tools with specific purposes that can help their users with specific tasks, e.g. computer programming and quantitative analysis. You will have plenty of opportunities here at NYU to experiment with these tools. However, LLMs cannot write. They can string together words that look like sentences, and sentences that look like paragraphs. However, they cannot write, in the sense that writing is thinking. To the extent the assignments in this class require thinking (including but not limited to memos, process journals, reflections), using LLMs like ChatGPT will not help you fulfill the assignments or achieve the goals  in this class. They may create a deliverable (like a group presentation), but will not help you learn the process of building group cohesion and co-creating deliverables together (which are just as important as the deliverables themselves). 
Just like traditional grading emphasizes product over process, so too do LLMs circumvent the process for the product. In the words of Frankfurt, via Hicks, et. al, “ChatGPT is bullshit”. The models do not concern themselves with the truth or accuracy of their outputs. For example, they will generate fake quotations and citations. ChatGPT may help you write an email to your group to set up a meeting. ChatGPT will not help you connect the course material to the civic engagement assignment you complete, and it will not help you reflect on your course experience to make your final grade recommendation. ChatGPT can help you look like you know what you are talking about, but I do not care about ChatGPT’s takes. I care about yours. If you need assistance with your writing, talk to (or email) me, and/or look into the university’s Writing Center.

If the reasons outlined above are not sufficient to deter you from using LLMs, I encourage you to make an informed decision about usage. Look into the environmental costs, labor practices, data mining/privacy issues, and accessibility issues. If you choose to move forward with these tools, you must acknowledge this usage.
