metacognition seems to be more of a counter to what op is saying though especially given the way in which self explanation and elaborative encoding work. In some sense, this is actually more interested with when individuals engage with AI not less

Admin are continually pressuring us to make the course "more accessible," by which they mean "devastatingly easy to complete," but it's not about access. Many students refuse to read or write in any capacity that isn't tech-aided, no matter how simple the assignment, no matter how process-based.

When I ask them: "What are you reading? What are you watching? What are you listening to?" Often, the answer is: nothing. Which has a direct effect on their over-use of prompts and AI, because they can't think of ideas, because they are literally not engaging with a single figurative thing.

This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.

Thank you Kate, the MSM have failed in their duty of responsibility to provide a public service. Matt Kennard talks about being told not to report on issues such as SEZs, American Empire, US military bases in the UK when he was working at the FT.

The US already owns most of UK industry, and it has militarily occupied 11 RAF bases.
This is why Trump is ordering Starmer to spend 5% of GDP on military defence, which is?…£80 billion

The US quietly moves a nuclear weapons to the UK, and not a dicky bird in the MSM.
The UK is an occupied military outpost of the US, a willing and obliging Vassal state of US corporate, military and political hegemony.
