“Academic drop” them or just give it an F and tell them to stop attending since they’re not actually doing any work. They clearly don’t care.

The thing that really sucks about the inevitable AI industry collapse is how much we're all going to suffer from the fallout. Like watching a slow motion car crash from the inside of the car.

The sentences before that reminder are also worth considering: Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them..."

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

it's so weird to think that empowering masked men with no identification to run around terrorizing communities while completely insulated from consequences could have unintended negative side effects

On August 7, according to the FBI, three men in black vests entered a New York restaurant
claiming to be ICE agents. Inside, they tied a worker's hands and pulled a garbage bag over the person's head. Another, believing the burglars' story, surrendered themselves, only to be kicked to the ground and tied up as the intruders robbed an ATM.

👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead.

IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained.

IRS Direct File: 2023-2025.

(Story from when the pilot launched.)

IRS tests free e-filing system that could compete with tax-prep giants

The tax agency has quietly built its own prototype system for filing tax returns digitally and free of charge, according to current and former officials.

Part of the reason I would never leave New York (besides the obvious point that it’s the greatest city in the world) is that I’d have to learn how to drive and it turns out that private car ownership is bonkers expensive if you aren’t already indoctrinated into the expectation of it.

This is framed as a story about the economy, but it's also a story about the staggering financial costs of car dependency in the United States

Car payments are steeper than ever. Many Americans can’t afford it. - The Boston Globe

Delinquencies and repossessions are both at record highs, as steep loan terms make it harder for car owners to keep up with their payments.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves

In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
