‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

“There’s kind of defeatism, this idea that there’s no stopping technology and resistance is futile...” said Clune, the Ohio State professor. “That needs to change … We can decide that we want to be human.”

Finally, instead of desensitizing the emotions that were connected with household work, the industrial revolution in the home seems to have heightened the emotional context of the work, until a woman's sense of self-worth became a function of her success at arranging bits of fruit to form a clown's face in a gelatin salad. That pervasive social illness, which Betty Friedan characterized as "the problem that has no name," arose not among workers who found that their labor brought no emotional satisfaction, but among workers who found that their work was invested with emotional weight far out of proportion to its own inherent value: "How long," a friend of mine is fond of asking, "can we continue to believe that we will have orgasms while waxing the kitchen floor?"

Last paragraph's a banger:

More hand-holding, longer hours, no Rocky statue up top: 10 ideas to get the PMA back on the right track We love the museum. So much so, that I visited it a dozen times recently. Can the museum make it easier for us to love it even more?

"At a Friday DJ evening in December, a few sat in the Great Stair Hall and one person danced...But the galleries were packed with families and hipsters looking at art. This suggests they hadn’t come to hear anyone spin discs, but because the museum was open at a time that actually worked for them."
