Definition and probing of words like "teach," "learn," "train," "model," "supervise," and "foundation," "category," "class" etc key to deep understanding of knowledge, cognitive science, learning science, higher education reform, pedagogy: glossed right over for "machine learning."

Yes, I've done this. I've also done workshops where I have students work in teams to come up with interesting or biased ways of asking ChatGPT the same question (setting the boundaries differently) and then having them compare the kind of answer they receive. It's eye-opening. Always.

Yes …and also DEI, Black and gender studies, climate change, the humanities, critical thinking, Pell grants, international students . Etc. They basically hate anything that might cast light on their exploitation.

Yep.

The NYT of all places is writing this silliness? Despite NYT doing everything in its power to prevent his election, President Elect Mamdani won in large part because of 100,000+ volunteers, led by young people.
