This is exactly what you'd expect. Relatively disadvantaged students reaching for AI as you'd reach for a life preserver, being taught by teachers who are relatively unprepared for it. Students fall even further behind their relatively advantaged peers as a result. It's infuriating.
This is correct.
With those musical experiences, how could she not!
700,000. Sit with that number for a moment & reflect on the human tragedies it represents.

Some things never change.

"People in fashion? If an atomic bomb were dropped on their heads, the only thing they’d still care about would be, ‘Did Demna revive Gucci?’”

“We have seen a world where the people with the most power do nothing while people in the most precarious positions put their literal bodies on the line.”
Over and over and over and fucking over again.
The article and 🧵 are both excellent.
How old is my car? When I bought it, you could still easily find new cars with manual transmissions, which I prefer. They're exceedingly rare now.

I was thinking of musicians, like The Flames for rock or Winston Mankunku Ngozi for jazz, when I replied. They were totally plugged into the US/UK music scene, as were many, many others.
There are a lot! Oscar Peterson is my fav, not surprisingly.
True. But the records circulated & there was the BBC. In both jazz & rock, SA musicians were right up to date.
