"The group with AI access started off more accurate than the group without it. Then, after 12 problems, researchers took away the AI tool. Almost immediately, the people in that group stopped solving questions accurately."

Which means none of your clothing qualifies anymore as "nowhere to wear." So what will you wear the next time?

Time magazine used to have regional editors, who lived all around the country. That was a long time ago though

In the late Sixties I was married to a woman who majored in African Literature at the U of Wisconsin, one of a very few American universities where that was possible. She introduced me to a whole new world of African lit including Ambiguous Adventure.

I was a campus radical in the Sixties but also suffer from severe asthma, so as a matter of self-preservation, I moved away when I saw the tear gas clouds coming.

Can't see any reason why this should be so. We know what it used to be like so there's a blueprint to follow. Step 1: Fire all MAGAts.

I dunno if any legislators follow me on here, but if you do: Can we please have some laws forbidding this? With teeth? Penalties that hurt the people who ignore them?

Not Casey Stengel any more. Too bad he didn't have playoff games.

Ah man, I listened to Bill Evans all the time back in the day. Am I getting old?

I felt that way a lot when I was teaching political theory (I retired in 2017.)

It's sometimes a good thing—but then look at the rise of anti-vaxxers and the resistance to vaccination against childhood diseases that only 120 years ago used to kill 20% of children before the age of 5. Anti-vax only flourishes because people have collectively forgotten what it was like before.

Perhaps not a loss of critical thinking so much as just a lack of understanding of complex computer functions like AI.

I grew up in Wisconsin in the 50's so of course I was a huge Eddie Mathews fan.

I agree. It was an intelligent and insightful review. I don't see what people are worked up about. I suppose there is always a certain percentage who will get enraged about anything that is said.

It does. I grew up on Lake Superior. If you walked a few hundred yards down our front lawn, there it was. (OK a few trees and boulders in the way.). But I saw the Big Lake every day of my young life.

I've converted. I watch a lot of British tv comedy and find it generally very funny whereas I no longer find US tv comedy funny at all. (I haven't tracked it but possibly nothing since Cheers has struck my funny bone.

Some of the country's most prestigious music programs are among the 14% of bachelor music programs predicted to fail the new earnings test, according to Education Department data. The undergraduate music program at Portland State University likely won't pass either.

Under a new federal rule, colleges must leave grads better off or lose financial aid

If an undergraduate program's graduates don't earn more than workers who never went to college, that program could be cut off from federal student loans. But is a degree just about making more money?
