My lack of tolerance for arrogance combined with students overall lack of basic knowledge has me ready to retire

Just more proof how much we hate education and love strippers

We have given incredible tools to persons without the maturity to know when they should/should not use; in a society with disdain for scientific/educational authority and increased emotional distance from leaders. Of course teachers are looking for help to slow down the dismantling of all they know

So AI is currently a plagiarism machine, not a thinking machine. Got it.

So what happens when the junior TT faculty member doesn’t pass the qb the school signed for $10 million?
