Recently, Trump has intensified his attacks against the press, accusing them of being "fake news." Now is a perfect time to learn (or teach your students) about the #sociology of #fakenews.

According to a new study by Anthropic analyzing the impact of #AI on 700 different professions, the job of #sociologist is currently 18% automatable and 40% augmentable.
The study puts a positive spin on this, saying most jobs can be assisted but not replaced by AI. Not sure I feel as optimistic.
