The Professors Are Using ChatGPT, and Some Students Aren’t Happy About It

“Is there ... future that much of what graduate student teaching assistants do can be done by A.I.?” ..“Yeah, absolutely.”
What happens then to the pipeline of future professors who would come from the ranks of teaching assistants?
“It will absolutely be an issue,”

An expert on the Library of Congress tells Rolling Stone that Trump’s takeover attempt is “dangerous,” given that the Library’s sub-agencies provide confidential legal advice to members of Congress and help police misconduct by lawmakers.

(2/2) 하지만 놀랍게도, 거의 60년 전 에 별것 아닌 것 처럼 보였던 이 작은 연구가 우리 모두에게 엄청나고 지속적인 영향을 미치게 됩니다. 최근에 라디오 랩(Radio Lab)이라는 파드 캐스트에서 이 이야기를 아주 재미있게 풀었는데, 푹 빠져서 듣고 마지막에는 말을 잃을 정도로 충격을 받았습니다. 과학자들이 하는 일이 얼마나 중요하고, 우리 사회에 얼마나 큰 영향을 미치는지 다시 한번 생각하게 되실 거라 믿습니다. radiolab.org/podcast/the-...

(1/2) 1966년, 미국 정부는 옐로스톤 국립공원의 뜨거운 온천에서 살아남는 박테리아에 대한 연구를 지원했다고 합니다. 그때 당시에는 73℃, 화씨로는 163℉가 넘는 온도에서는 어떤 생명체도 살 수 없다고 믿었었지요. 그런데 결국 연구자들이 그런 상황에서도 생존하고 있는 박테리아를 찾아냈고, 연구를 끝마쳤다고 합니다.

이쯤 되면 많은 분들이 "그래서 뭐?" 라거나 "세금으로 별 쓸데없는 연구를 한 거 아니야?"라고 생각할 수도 있을 것 같아요. 지금 현재 미국 정부의 태도를 보면 이런 연구는 아마 지원받기도 힘들겠죠?

DOGE Descends on the Institute for Museum and Library Services DOGE employees and a new acting director showed up at the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) on Thursday for an intended 'raid'

Happy Women’s Day! I am a firm believer in saying, “Behind every successful society is a woman who dared to dream.” Recently the Governor Janet Mills of Maine brought this quote to my mind. I hope you have a wonderful day of celebration!

I really don't know where to start. Censoring free speech with a still questionable technology? Do they really believe this will lead to any positive outcomes, or is it merely a performance to appeal to their voters?

6 Takeaways From Trump’s Address to Congress In a lengthy speech, President Trump promoted his administration’s rapid early moves and reprised the themes of his campaign, vowing to crack down on illegal immigration and “wokeness.”

One of the many things that made it difficult for me to fall asleep was the division he created, even in this address. But honestly, what more could I have expected? Just when I thought he had hit rock bottom, he somehow managed to sink even further.  www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/u...

I had my share of dictators in South Korea during the 70s and 80s. But I did not expect to see another one in the U.S. T's words bring me a déjà vu. If it goes on, soon you may see undercover law enforcement on college campuses. I truly hope not to see this in the country I chose to call home.

Listening JD Vance's interview on the culture attacking masculinity and creating “androgynous idiots,” I remembered what Susan Sontag said once, "What is the most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine."

The Shadow of Arms Translated from Korean by Chun Kyung-ja An atypical war novel exploring Korea's little-known involvement in the Vietnam War, told from the thriving black market of Da Nang.

He is one of the big names in Korean literature. One of his earlier works, inspired by his experiences as a Korean Marine during the Vietnam War, will be another interesting read. www.sevenstories.com/books/3737-t...

Lawyers Caught Citing AI-Hallucinated Cases Call It a 'Cautionary Tale' The attorneys filed court documents referencing eight non-existent cases, then admitted it was a "hallucination" by an AI tool.

Who should be responsible for the hallucination or the use of it?

“Our internal artificial intelligence platform ‘hallucinated’ the cases in question while assisting our attorney in drafting the motion in limine,” the law firm said in a filed response."

Trump Has ALREADY Attacked Libraries This action is the first step in dismantling the Institute of Museum and Library Services and eliminating federal funding for libraries.

This action will deliver a devasting blow to America's commitment to preserving museum and library services.

We know this won't end here.
