How many metropolitan Deputy Mayors can be found picking litter on a Saturday morning? I often spot @donnacooney1.bsky.social cleaning Clontarf seafront in her Tidy Towns top and @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social bag on weekends. Credit where it’s due!

This is the best metaphor I have seen that may actually resonate with the students I teach re LLM usage.
Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution.
TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."
MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.”
Trump clearly not used to get fact-checked live.
