How NOT to train your dog: Ask them questions and speak in complex sentences.

How to train your dog:
Take a ten minute break from your bloated show to clearly train them with *positive* reinforcement.
Start with a simple command like “Sit” or stay before moving ahead

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.

“The fight against dictatorship and fascism is inseparable from the fight against capitalism itself.
To oppose Trump’s drive toward authoritarian rule, workers and young people must take up the struggle for socialism, for the reorganization of society on the basis of human need, not private profit.”

Sartre said “…they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play… They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate…”
1945

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.
-Jean-Paul Sartre, 1945

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
