over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Here's the biggest accusation of AI writing in the literary world so far, a book that was likely to win the Prix Goncourt. The author has been disqualified due to separate cases of plagiarism, so the question of whether Pangram can be used as evidence remains open www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...

Most astrophysicists believe time is a landscape like space, meaning the past you remember still physically exists even though you're no longer standing in it.

If you work for a book publisher that has introduced AI at any point in the publishing process, I'm working on a story and would like you speak with you, on-record or off-. Same goes if you're an author and you've witnessed your publisher using AI at any point in the publishing process.

So many culture publications have completely removed emails from their mastheads and contact pages, presumably to avoid AI submissions. Even outlets you've written for in the past are black boxes once the editor you know moves on.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

The greatest mystery of our time is how David Koepp managed to write the screenplays for Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Death Becomes Her, Panic Room, and Spider-Man... as well as 20 of the worst movies you've ever seen.

Disclosure Day is genuinely one of the dumbest science fiction movies I've ever seen. Imagine if Jurassic Park was just people chasing Dennis Nedry's shaving cream can around the American Midwest for two hours followed by two minutes of blurry dinosaur footage on the local news.

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

When I assign analysis, I am not trying to extract a polished product; I am trying to put the student’s mind through resistance in order to make it stronger. Offloading the struggle to a chatbot does not “free students up for higher-order work.” It deprives them of building the strength to do any substantial cognitive work at all.
