The greatest risk of AI in higher education isn’t cheating – it’s the erosion of learning itself
Automating knowledge production and teaching weakens the ecosystem of students and scholars that sustains universities, raising existential questions about their mission.

I am not sure about this "spheres of influence" talk. Does Trump want the US to 'own' the Western hemisphere? Absolutely. Does he want Russia and China to run free and dominate their own neighbours? Not sure about that. The #nss2025 is also ambiguous on this point.

It’s not Paul Thomas Anderson’s best film (that has to be 'There Will Be Blood'), but it’s certainly his most important, for all the reasons that various reviews and commentaries have already highlighted.

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

The real issue is that they may not need a new amendment. The twenty-second amendment prohibits him from being *re-elected as president* for a third time, not from running again as vice-president and from being *appointed* as president if the newly elected president steps down.

I don't know about the midterm elections, but my sense is that we will soon discover that the twenty-second amendment is not that big of an obstacle against a third Trump term.
