"As [AI gets] better at producing knowledge work – designing classes, writing papers, suggesting experiments & summarizing difficult texts – they don’t just make universities more productive. They risk hollowing out the ecosystem of learning & mentorship upon which these institutions are built"
I could really use a vacation right about now
That did not take long…

Some exciting news to share: very soon, NOAA Research will be hiring new federal employees into science positions across the agency! A couple of notes:

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.
@rschumacher.cloud on a state call this morning, talking about the crazy warmth we've been experiencing. The number of days Fort Collins has passed 60°F this winter, far surpasses any other winter!
The fundamental premise behind AI-enabled cheating is that coursework is merely busy work, because your'e just doing it for professors.
We would never say that showing up for football practice is merely busy work because you're just doing it for your coaches.

REQUEST: I am looking to speak to an avalanche expert for a story about the Castle Peak avalanche in California's Sierra Nevada. I am located a few miles from the incident location and am hoping to get some background information about avalanche danger.
Any recommendations appreciated!
