Research mentorship is the beating heart of the university’s value, but it is expensive and doesn’t scale. The university without it is an empty credential and license farm of job training and truly begs whether the university is necessary or valuable at all. We have to keep making the case for it

In my non-studio university classes I didn’t have close contact with professors even close to studio teaching until PhD seminars and working with advisor, which was extraordinary. I think the university is stuck between Humboldtian research mentorship and systems of credentialing, always in tension

Teaching studio music in higher education makes this very obvious but there are many university settings where professors are less accessible, like large online classes with course content prefabricated by textbook companies and auto grading.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

My coworker told everyone in his family that if anyone posts a picture of his kid online, they’ll never see him or the kid again. And honestly, I respected him more for it.

Oh, sorry, didn't you hear? There's a new yogurt now. It tastes basically the same but this one is $8. All the recipes are using it so you can't opt out. It's good because kings used to eat it

wrote briefly about architecture and the situation at u Chicago www.thenation.com/article/cult...

Why Did UChicago Destroy the Humanities?

The answer is simple: to spend untold sums on useless buildings by starchitects.

“enshittification” in a graph

Ruo Shui @ruoshuiresearch.bsky.social · 1d

A line chart titled “AI-Generated Content Has Surpassed Human Content.” The chart tracks the relative share of total online content produced by humans versus AI from January 2020 through January 2025. The y-axis represents percentage share, ranging from 0% to 100%.

The green line labeled “Human” starts near 100% in early 2020, maintaining a flat trend until around late 2022. Afterward, it declines sharply through 2023 and 2024, dropping below 50% by late 2024 and settling just under 50% by early 2025.

The yellow-orange line labeled “AI” begins near 0% in 2020, remaining nearly flat until November 2022, when a black callout marker notes: “Nov 2022 – ChatGPT Launches.” Following that point, the AI line rises rapidly, crossing the 50% mark around late 2024, slightly surpassing human content by early 2025.

Starsky Carr tried AI generating music of particular artist styles even down to the chord progressions

His observations are that there is some smoothing process yielding "a blend of mediocrity" that lacks those rough edges which made each artist attractive to us

I tried to Recreate Radiohead with AI... it kept giving me Coldplay

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
