Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

As an educator, it’s increasingly difficult to name a professional conviction or pedagogical commitment that justifies the use of generative AI. The daily use of AI must not overshadow tangible actions to redress our climate crisis lest we further erode our position as trusted stewards of learning.

There is an article in this month’s NCTE Council Chronicle that celebrates the opportunities the author says AI brings to classrooms. Nowhere in there were any of the ways we don’t want AI in classrooms -

Reading is such an extraordinary gift. It’s so incredible that there is no center in the brain for it. It’s an entirely learned activity, not at all innate to us! And it unlocks so much human flourishing and much joy and happiness

Oh you don’t think I should go to a college where all the courses are planned by AI? Well let me remind you of the wise words of the philosopher Plato: β€œPlato is a soft, clay-like substance that comes in different colors and is used by children for making models”

A lot of people have shared this poem over the past week. It’s a sentiment I think about a lot, especially now.

I hope everyone is doing what they need to take care of themselves. One step at a time. One day at a time.
