But the problem is that AI gets invoked as an answer to this problem, when what we really need to do is address the root causes of these problems and give teachers more money, time, resources, respect, etc. The AI/edutech/tech industry is predicated on making the problem worse, not fixing it.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it

"Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

Rowan's own college admission story is: he was pre-law at Cornell but didn't like the coursework so he called Penn and they said sure and put him into the Wharton undergrad program.

Maybe that explains why he thinks university admissions are a joke: his was.

web.archive.org/web/20240314...

MR. ROWAN: Everyone in my family, other than my father, was a public interest lawyer. And
I thought I was also going to be a public interest lawyer. I applied to Cornell ILR, which is a
good prelaw program. I was accepted. The coursework arrived. And I finally realized I didn’t
want to be a lawyer. And I ended up calling Penn, sight unseen, and showed up at the Wharton
School at the University of Pennsylvania. And hair down to my shoulders, had no idea what
business was. But it all just made sense.
