‘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

“There’s kind of a defeatism, this idea that there’s no stopping technology & that resistance is futile, everything will be crushed in its path. That needs to change … We can decide that we want to be human.”

A burning question! What is her story?

My 11 year old was there and feels he has to know how she died.

He says a narrative of that part of the war should be written from the POV of the other Virginia.

In my defense as a parent, I thought the lecture would only be inappropriate due to violence.

Ha!

I know LOL is used Willy nilly these days when people are not actually laughing out loud, but I literally just did!

Hi! In RT.

3. *Patrick Ferguson was the commander of the defeated Loyalists at the Battle of Kings Mountain. He is buried on site. Americans have a long tradition of placing a stone on his grave as either:

-a sign of respect.

-to keep him in there?

Hopefully mostly the former.

2. “That felt pretty strange. But the big surprise was that he wasn’t alone.” (!!!?)

“One of his two mistresses, Virginia is in there with him.”

(!!!!!!!!!)

“They were both named Virginia, which was convenient; if he called out ‘Virginia’ in bed, at least one would be awake to answer.”

🤯

Story in RT now.

1. A venerable historian who has been respected for decades was giving a lecture when he went wildly off topic:

“I happened to be consulting at Kings Mountain when they were digging up Patrick Ferguson*” (!?!) “to see if he was where they always thought he was.” (!!)

“He was! I saw his bones…”

Ok! In a RT.

A few dollars wouldn’t hurt.

But ALSO, we probably use some phonebank help in October.

(Speaking as a SC Dem).

Yes! @drannieandrews.com would be a great Colbert guest!

Ooooh.

I just came home from an event in Downtown Rock Hill and heard some really really juicy really really old gossip and have no one to tell.

Any history buffs here interested?

lol. I believe my late great grandpa, a rancher, would have appreciated that joke.

I also zoomed in to see the titles. If it were a neat, decorative shelf, I would not have.

Lovely.

It’s not just the Tattoo. Zeteo, you are discrediting yourself.

In addition to making him an easy person for Collins to defeat, they’ll use him to muddy the moral waters in races across the country.

I’ve seen them do this, for example, in a North Carolina special congressional race.

The fliers and mailers will feature the faces of Democrats from afar.

It does look like Platner is doing better in the polls vs Collins *NOW* but that’s before the GOP has a field day airing all his dirty laundry to bring him down

Also, they will paint him as a Nazi to cover their own Nazi problem. “Well what about…” and “It’s the Democrats who have a Nazi problem!”

Trump says he won't sign another Bill into law until the Unconstitutional SAVE Act is passed.

Oh no, what is he going to do? Stop this historically under performing Congress from continuing to under perform and rule by Executive Orders instead?

Can't imagine what that would look like.

Also…

:: sighs ::

…this opening line is wildly untrue, although it is true that they've gotten less *attention,* which may be why they aren't *known* for discussing their faith.

To name a few:

· Pete Buttigieg
· Chris Coons (who NYTimes quotes after this)
· Elizabeth Warren
· Sarah McBride

Defund Clemson? Republican extremists tried to cut funding for public colleges like Clemson and the College of Charleston today.

Their amendments were rejected — but the fight to keep our schools open and lower tuition costs continues.

Here is the clip.

I think this is the species known, ingeniously, as a Little Brown Bat.

I only ever see them in my woods when a big storm is approaching.

They come down from the tips of the big oaks to the little baby ones at my eye level.

A reliable weather predictor.

Perfectly leaf-brown.

Ok everyone. It’s time to ease up on the doom so it doesn’t follow you to bed.

To soothe you, here is a short video of small amigo I took yesterday.

More info in reply.

Sound up.

Hmm. The basic lines (ha) of argument I’m hearing against Janet Mills.

My thought as well.

The bad guys had literal years to tamper with evidence.

I also think searching the grounds is going to be orders of magnitude more difficult than the house.

Thousands! of acres. Also the likely presence of sensitive archaeological sites.

Finally.
