I am doing the same thing and the response so far has been very positive. For their "essays" I also allow them to speak to one another and ask me questions even about content.

It's amazing how the rationalists have basically just re-invented Calvinism for the AI age.

This is the way. When I joined the Socialist Youth League way back when, there was a lot culture, sports, and fun mixed with politics, helped create tight bonds.

Great article. Liberalism is the doula of fascism (redux). What is written about Germany's "centrist" parties applies to many other countries too.

Doing the same, a much livelier classroom. While I can't say if everyone likes it, the feedback has been very positive so far.

Doing this as well, too early in the term to tell whether it will work out but reading in class, telling them to put away laptops in favour of the pen has made the classroom livelier.

For all intents and purposes it was, there weren't that many votes separating the blocks, the last few mandates shifting between parties as the last few votes were counted. And this after the centre-left bloc had an early commanding lead.

AI has exposed the austerity con game in higher ed. For years, we have been told there is no money for students, faculty, staff, capital improvements, libraries. But somehow universities have suddenly come up with the money to pay for AI services??

A low-effort report by a conservative think tank is pushing the narrative that anti-Flock sentiment is being pushed by China and a far-left billionaire. This "study" was picked up by Sinclair broadcasting and pushed in dozens of cities around the country: www.404media.co/smear-campai...

I presume these are not hyperscale data center? Either way it is also missing a point: "data center" has kind of become a master signifier that stand in for and helps to make sense of AI, fascist take over, tech bros, scams and corruption.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.
