I used it in class once. It worked well.

I grew up Baptist and my mind just immediately went to the Book of Revelations.

AI integration initiatives are spearheaded by administrations with little input from faculty members and other campus community members, including staff and students. High levels of concern arose around AI and technology procurement, deployment, and use; dehumanized relations; and poor working and learning conditions. Seventy-one percent of respondents said decision-making and AI initiatives are overwhelmingly led by college or university administrations, and many respondents described administrators exerting great effort to introduce AI into research, teaching, policy, and professional development with little meaning­ful input from faculty members, staff, or students. Examples include the development of institutional AI tools, workshops on teaching and detecting plagia­rism, and subscribing to AI tools for students (such as Grammarly, marketed as an “AI writing partner”) without involving faculty members or students in the decision-making process. One respondent noted that “admin doesn’t seem to care about or value faculty input on this or any other topic” and hoped for “more faculty involvement in determining how AI and tech generally are used.”

The @aaup.org report on AI is so hugely important. Among other key takeaways is the fact that most AI programs have been introduced by administrative fiat and by circumventing meaningful faculty, student, & staff consultation.

FWIW, recent studies suggest that a lot of planters tried to shift to food production, but ran into all sorts of issues from occupation of the breadbaskets, to infrastructure breakdown, to labor walking off, to tool shortages, to widespread drought, the last one something I wrote about.

Looking for some information about a 1914 House bill--I had a scanned copy of the original--I googled it only to have Google's intrusive AI tell me that there had been no such bill ever. And that's plain wrong.

The woman reads it as if she's a hostage. Someone should see if she's blinking Morse code.

Not even pretending that the goal isn't punishment.

ICE agent wannabe Dr. Phil, fresh off defending Trump in Texas. Sad!

What an ambitious chameleon like Vance really believes is anyone's guess, but what he's describing here is "herrenvolk democracy," which allows him to both minimize borders when it comes to uniting his ethnic volk (Trump is still one of us) and exclude the non-volk from citizenship.
