this is no more compelling than the “Kids Will Love This” video education of the early 90s. Children would roast your ass for thinking this was good.

We can dispense with all this AI water usage idiocy and pedantry by acknowledging one simple fact: I’m growing all this alfalfa because ChatGPT told me to do it.

It’s nice when good things pass a cost benefit test, but it’s not necessary. We should have one too.

I could do this all day, but you get the point(s). Trust in higher ed ≠ trust in Ivy Leagues. Budgets are moral documents and if you want to examine trust in higher ed, look at how states prioritize public higher education.

I read in the Inquirer today that UPenn’s endowment *increased* by $6 billion last year. The FY27 executive budget for CUNY is $6.4 billion.

NYC spends approximately $200,000 a year for every inmate in the corrections system. It spends about $27,000 a year for every student enrolled in CUNY.

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.

I study early childhood markets, and THE biggest issue is insufficient supply because of the low wages of child care workers. It's a classic market failure that is woefully undercapitalized. Double child care worker salaries and it'll solve a lot of the access problem.

Stop Using Anti-NUCLEAR Language
Instead of:
"If my parents find out about this, they'll go nuclear."
"This discourse is radioactive."
"The country must avoid letting Al become a Chernobyl moment."
"I'm worried about the fallout from this decision."
Say:
"If my parents find out about this, they'll have a blowout on their offshore oil platform resulting in 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico."
"This discourse is leaking up to 9% of its production in the form of methane directly into the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to the melting permafrost and the rapid warming of the Arctic."
"The country must avoid letting Al become a Benihu Colliery moment, the worst coal mining disaster in history, in which a gas and coal dust explosion resulted in 1,549 deaths."
"I'm worried about the severe acid rock drainage that might develop from this situation, requiring decades of additional monitoring and treatment and leading to long-term health effects for the nearby population."

Knowingly permitting content that you have the ability to block should be treated as if Meta itself created and posted it. Creating an LLM capable of hacking should be treated like OpenAI carried out a hack.

American capitalism used to be marked by race to the bottom competitions in quality, beauty, value, utility, but that era has come to an end. Why waste time downgrading when you can just start at the floor?

Bar Associations could start threatening disbarment now, but they are cowards. Their entire purpose is to restrict the supply of lawyers to raise our wages — it’s a layup compared to tweaking the bar exam.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

Driverless cars would both reduce car ownership and motivate use of non-car alternatives, imo. Having to call, wait, and pay per use will tip some people towards biking, especially.
