This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

More than any higher ed development in recent memory, institutional subsidies for AI at R1 universities prove that austerity is a choice. It is not “too expensive” to invest in a humanities research infrastructure; rather, it is a choice that R1 universities make not to & subsidize AI instead.

Across the US, workers are souring on AI. The tech industry has insisted that AI would make workers’ lives easier and more productive, that the more people understood and used AI, the more they would like it. Something closer to the opposite has happened.

by banning AI use for both students & teachers sends a bold message that AI is not conducive to learning & is in fact a disservice to the mission of education.

The real "administrative bloat" in education is the money that schools are being forced to fork over to tech vendors that can just keep jacking up their prices year after year, because it would cost even more to rebuild the systems and retrain the people that were built/trained on that tech.

I regret to inform you that these traditional college courses in AI are indistinguishable from the classrooms I sat in at for-profit colleges 15 years ago. Centralized curriculum & branding, technological control, “virtual” libraries, & bureaucratic alienation of labor.

The giants have always been my number #1 sports love. I would have a little transistor radio I would bring to school, to bed, in the car to listen to every inning as a kid. They are currently an embarrassment. First time in 35 years I won’t follow or listen.

Giants OLB Abdul Carter on why he responded critically to Jaxson Dart’s decision to introduce Donald Trump: www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
"First off, I'm going to say that some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things. Jason is one of our leaders," Carter said.
. "He's the face of our franchise. He not only represents himself and what he does, but he represents all of us, and that goes for anybody who wears a Giants uniform.
"But if he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world.
