My strategy is to show her things that are beyond her comprehension to help her build up the stamina of an attention span that is much more powerful than that of her peers

this is a disgraceful thing for a united states senator to say, and, on top of the moral outrage of it, it would be horrifyingly bad foreign policy.

Right, the young people who voted for Trump because the post-Covid shock temporarily destabilized their economic lives didn't realize they were signing up for global civilizational Total War (abroad and in places like Minneapolis).

Drone strikes in Haiti.
Drone strikes. In Haiti.
By private contractors.
They’re killing Haitians for private profit & the world barely pays attention.
The story of Haiti is the story America likes to tell about itself. Except there, it’s true. And the west has never stopped punishing Haiti for it

it's kind of funny that "__ is a distraction" is the key argument about our politics at a time when we have made distraction the foundation of the whole economy and society

Particularly weird to say β€œelsewhere” in the headline when people are literally organizing around the where of it, like they need physical place to enact this agenda and place is something people care about

That’s the goal, although some students are outsourcing their reading to LLMs or failing to read (either because they can’t read, can’t understand what they are reading, or won’t read) so you have to plan classes w this in mind

β€˜I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

My spouse has this 15 yo capacious messenger bag from Brooklyn industries that has two straps to convert to a backpack (keeping the bag upright) and is desperate to replace it with the same thing, and it simply doesn’t exist anymore (but it should!h

Is it part of the argument that we don’t need tenured professors we can just have their AI avatars β€œteach” students through this kind of review

I wonder how much universities collectively pay to give students access to this

Does it feel like words have lost all their meaning at the same time that the fascists who rule over us decided that words are talismans they can incant to subdue us

= Pitchfork
I'm of the latter group. I have spent most of my life with the distinct sense that our minds and experiences are mysterious, ridiculously complex, and vastly different from one another's, to a degree that makes everyday communication almost miraculous. There are times when this feeling is terrifying, and times when it's reassuring, magical, or inspiring. I suppose I'll have to take it up with a therapist someday. But I'm a believer in a world where you can spend 60 years married to someone and die in bed beside them without ever having gleaned more than a partial, sidelong understanding of what it's like inside their head-- leave alone just checking out their shoes, iPod, or Twitter feed and figuring you know something about them.

Not to give Renfer any benefit of doubt but an industry has spent a kajillion dollars to cajole and force LLMs into every conceivable industry and workplace, and institutions like courts and bar associations and law schools need to draw a hard line immediately against this shit
