It's possible the whole purpose of Business Schools was to make the claim "ChatGPT is as smart as a professor" technically true.

Deadbeat Political Campaigns Still Owe Creditors Millions

Old campaigns of also-ran politicians remain hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in debt. Will they ever pay?

Professors are far more likely to be accurate than LLMs. In addition, we foster their critical thinking, discernment, and communication skills.

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."

When Knowledge is Free, What are Professors For?

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 4h

NEW: in a hearing where a judge is asking the government why it’s defying her court order about deploying tear gas without warning in Chicago, the government argues ICE isn’t using body cams, and they can’t start using them because the government is shut down.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 6h

Skedzielewski also cites the shutdown and says "I don't believe that it will be possible, on a short timeline, to roll out a body cam program in the Chicago [area of responsibility] for ICE.

For CBP it "may be more workable."

Education is not 'content,' & learning is something one does interactively, through experience and guidance.

We've heard about how expertise is going extinct ever since the internet put all of human knowledge up for free.

You'd think people would have learned, by now, that this was a mistake.

Exactly this. They do not. They also appear to be without a conscience for much of what they do. They do not earn that kind of money. They take it because of their greed and because they can.

They say that CEOs are paid the big money because they shoulder the responsibility and risk of the big decisions.

When’s the last time CEOs suffered the consequences of their decisions? Even if they get fired, they still get a golden parachute.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Since my first executive order in 2019, lowering prescription and health care costs has been a priority.

With CalRx® insulin at $11/pen starting Jan. 1st, we're closer to affordable care for all.

You shouldn't have to choose between medications and putting food on the table.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Wait a minute! Live missiles will be fired at California this Saturday?! I surely misunderstood. And they are shutting down the freeway between LA & San Diego "for an unknown amount of time." And it's just a coincidence that No Kings is that day. 🤔
