a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

The first (moderately) detailed explanation of how OpenAI partnership will be rolled out in Canvas, including assurance that all AI features with be "opt-in" (at least for now), but no mention of whether OpenAI will have access to Canvas courses for training purposes.

If you’re up for a reading list created by real humans who love books and have great taste, check out one of my fave traditions: NPR’s summer critics’ book list. It’s as great as ever and I’m proud to be a contributor. My pick: Great Black Hope by Rob Franklin.

Hey all, here's a post at @ssrc.org about how anti-trans talking points are getting wrapped into Google's AI search results.
AI search not only cites anti-trans disinfo, but sanitizes it, making practices like conversion therapy sound legitimate and safe.
We had fun talking to the folks at Fiction Science podcast last week. Thank you Alan for this write up!
