this is a framework for capitulation to fascism, with some fancy medieval citations thrown in to smarten it up and give it a gloss of moral seriousness

Thanks for humoring me, I realize it is a very stupid joke.
I am mad at myself for not yelling THAT WAS WILD(E).
Can’t wait to read!!!
In honor of the publication day of The Enclosures of Free Verse (uncpress.org/978146969306...), here's a little thread about what the book does and does not offer.
Ah I follow, yes, it was wild (har)!
Glad you agree this is an endorsement of my teaching. Clearly the hummingbird could not stay, a distraction from the sin of criticism.
None beyond that it was assigned today for discussion — happenstance!
Walked into my classroom today right after a hummingbird flew into it. A student and I were able to bundle said hummingbird up in her puffer jacket and transport it outside. Then we all talked about Dorian Gray. High point of the quarter.
A California agency received 20k AI-generated comments opposing heat pump rules. Staff called a sample to verify—several said they never sent comments. Raises serious questions about the opposition campaign that helped kill the clean air standards, that would've prevented 1000s of premature deaths.
I don't think the "Einstein" or other AI replacing the important steps of learning, esp in higher ed, would be posing quite the challenge it is right now if students hadn't been sent the message their entire lives that the point of college is to get good grades and a high paying job, not to learn.

What we’ve all been asking for! Expert and unbiased assessment!
Are we also to expect that student evals—already problematic—might likewise be completed by this thing? Somehow now occurring to me for the first time that this is already happening. I’ve been so focused on students’ ability to actually think that I hadn’t connected the dots to teaching assessment.
Omg yes! My thought was that every tenured faculty member on this website should take this exact paragraph to their administration and ask whether this would count as education at their institution— and devise an organizing strategy based on the answer
On the first day of my economics elective this spring, my professor said we would be expected to use NotebookLM to pass his class. He had lengthened the coding assignments so that they would be doable only with the help of AI. The reading assignments were longer, too: ten 40-page papers per week, which he asked us to feed into AI for a summary rather than read ourselves. When it came to lectures, he told us to simply upload the slides to AI and ask it to teach us whatever he failed to explain properly in class."
This bit caught my attention:

They are extremely unhappy. Does not help that they’re forced to sit there and watch the other team party because they have a medal ceremony to attend.
