going to start thinking of futurologists not as people who ✨discern what the future will be like✨ but rather as people who 🛂discern what sort of labour force powerful people in the present would prefer to have at their disposal when they get there🛂

IDEA: rehabilitation centers for the modern, digitally ravaged attention span They could feature activities like lectures, seminar-style discussions, and reading. They could be called colleges, or maybe universities.

I'm eyeing one from a local used music and book store: slightly more expensive than a thrift store, but also comes with a warranty.

Today's academic job posting bugaboo: your job posting should list the actual salary range, in numbers (even if it sucks) and the actual teaching load, in numbers (even if it is heavy).

If you exchange the ability to read books and perhaps even write them for the ability to ask a machine to tell you about them or to put words in your mouth, you have not made a good trade. You have not traded like for like or worse for better. And that is the exchange being proposed

whenever an author says they used AI to check for "style" I think: that's what superegos is for! that's what dialectical thought is for! that's what generalized anxiety that makes you question everything you've ever thought is for! that's what a social-media-tuned knack for reading the room is for!

an author just asked a very common Q: will they get a new contract to replace their advance contract once their book is approved by the editorial board for publication? answer: no! advance contracts are "real," if conditional I wrote about this a while back: www.chronicle.com/article/when...

The answer can vary from press to press, editor to editor, and project to project.

I’m really not sure that “goes rogue” is an accurate description of a behavior that is apparently both habitual and condoned

The company's A.l. went rogue this year at least four additional times, trying to break into government and university sites.
