The problem with this discourse is that it reveals something that nobody with a stake in their own academic or professional discipline wants to own up to, which is there is no particular educational paradigm that automatically makes you a good person

ancient meme image: four panels depicting a large head saying "how many layers of irony are you on" to which a squiggly guy replies "like... maybe 5 or 6 right now. my dude." The large head replies "you are like a little baby," with eyes now glowing, "watch this." In the final panel the large head visually dominates the image in a psychedlic manner, with the word "SUCC"

Keiichi Arawi is an all-timer cartoonist, but episodes like #09 show CITY's team (including himself!) attempting to best him. The magnetizing effect of consecutive spreads becomes one (almost) single cut that draws you in just as much, even more packed with chaotic energy than it was before. Insane

Now Anthropic is strongly considering weekly limits on Claude Code. Users making it clear they won't accept this or pay more than $200 a month. I am confident this happens because as my analysis suggests they are losing tons of money on each user!
