I had this thought watching Forrest Gump.
“In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.
At the time, I thought Prince was being paranoid.”

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.
It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

If you spend decades undermining a liberal arts education, you get college students who can't write a decent essay. But you also get adults who can't recognize a decent essay and sincerely think the issue is the beliefs and not that reading this is painful.

They will not stop til they tell you that their whole goal is fascism and folks will still be okay with it
In 1938, a New York Times reporter warned:
“When and if fascism comes to America it will not be labeled ‘made in Germany’; it will not be marked with a swastika; it will not even be called fascism; it will be called, of course, ‘Americanism’.”
87 years later.....

This is true for me as well.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Everyone knows they released those unredacted Epstein Files with victims names so they can say they "need more time" to redact and release more right? It was to "prove" their point that releasing the files doesn't protect the victims. And everyone is falling for it because of they are.

That sounds so mature and so luxurious, stopping to grieve a tragedy before something else bad happens.
Sounds nice. Anyway, lemme go look at the news …

This thread is a horror, and while generative "A.i." is not entirely to blame, it's absolutely part of the problem and should be entirely abolished from education.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

If your admin says "but we need to prepare students for AI-driven careers," you can calmly say no. Reiterate that AI-integration is the result of wild capitalist greed, the technologies themselves aren't "generative" or useful in most careers, and students should focus on process-based learning.
