The professional blowback I get as a HS ELA teacher trying to stop this has been wild.

The system is set up to enforce this outcome at the college level.
We're seeing possibly the worst attendance in history. Even in creative writing classes, where students generally want to participate and have their voice heard--they're not showing up, ignoring guidelines and feedback, and either describing expectations as "unclear" or simply refusing to comply.

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.”

really important thread ⬇️
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.

This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

“The one thing” we cannot abide. So — racism, slavery, imperialism, corruption, homophobia, environmental disaster, sexism, militarism, permanently indebtted underclass, pdf elites, housing crisis, decaying infrastructure… Uncle Sam abides.

every day i think about the midcentury plans for the advanced placement program
I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

Ok, but let’s remember that you can’t spend every day in class from 4th through 12th grade just doing this one assignment. Were clear on that, right?

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ.

Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising.

He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace.

What more do people need to see?

It's Transgender Day of Remembrance and I just want to say that a world without trans people would be a rainbow with many colors missing. We are brighter and more colorful in this world because of trans people, and have lost too many too early. I love you for being more you than most of us can be

They're death camps.
My god.

After 4 days in ICE custody, they found the man in a shower stall hog-tied, with a sheet around his neck.

The medical examiner claimed there were other instances of this.

Which means this is not an isolated case.

This piece forgets what it says that’s negative about AI and cognition in the first part - going on to talk about how to teach AI as a tool to support cognition. I wonder how much of the article was itself written by AI.
I know it is infuriating to faculty at Ohio State that their institution is being converted into a para-governmental incubator for technofeudal collaborationist hackery like this.

We’ll worry about AI slop, cognitive atrophy, AI psychosis, etc. AFTER we compel every teacher & student to use it. 🤬
