As someone skeptical about AI, I'm fully willing to acknowledge that I could be wrong + that 3-5 years from now this will be a normed aspect of our learning environments with many benefits for students. AI enthusiasts, though? It feels like many have anchored themselves permanently to this path.

Reporters: ask how many GS-15s there are working in the government that have so little experience and are like 20 years old. Can't be many. Maybe not any.

it's funny because, given that the chart is income percentile and not real income, this isn't actually a chart of non-college men getting worse off. it's just a chart of women catching up, ever so slightly

since everyone is talking about headlines, one thing that sucks so much about them in this iteration of the internet is if they're really nuanced/very helpful a lot of people just tune it all out. if they're really catchy, they tend to elide a lot of context or don't quite describe the piece.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

The way people are talking about the current demolition of research funding and HE legitimacy reminds me of the early days of COVID when I (and others) said it would be at least six years before any normalcy. Rage, despondency, rejection…eventually voting for a dictator just to feel alive.

okay, headline chat: a bunch of you have asked me who writes them and how they work. I’ll talk about it but the tl;dr is that it’s complicated and can vary a lot depending on the specific writer(s) and editor(s) involved.

These testimonies reinforce exactly what I'm hearing as I go present at schools and universities about how to adapt to teaching writing in an AI world. 1. Schools and institutions embracing the technology while also requiring instructors to police academic integrity is a disaster. (cont.)

“I am sick to my stomach as I write this because I've spent 20 years developing a pedagogy that's about wrestling with big ideas through writing and discussion, and that whole project has been evaporated by for-profit corporations who built their systems on stolen work. It's demoralizing.” Yep.

The Shelby County case overall got .1% of the media coverage it merited! I remember a scrum of Congressional reporters annoyed at me for was asking Jeff Sessions about it in a scrum when I got him to say this (ultimately used by the NAACP in opposing his AG nod).

Armed FBI agents knocked on the doors of two pub defenders at SEVEN AM, asking to talk w them, having made no earlier effort to reach out. Both PDs represented ppl detained by ICE. FBI said they “wanted to reach out before work.” Which is nakedly not true. HARASSING DEFENSE LAWYERS IS REALLY BAD.
