Why use "USian" when gringo is right there as a valid alternative.

If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

So all the relatives and extended people are here and last night like 8 adults kept asking my kid what 6-7 meant and she was like "I don't know what you're talking about" and later she and I were playing Kart and she just blurted out to me "we just say it because it makes Mrs S. mad at school" 🤌🤌🤌🤌
Honestly good job kids with the 6-7. I didn't think modern times would have anything like the "satanic messages in backwards music" bullshit we grew up with but you guys have angered and confused the adults to such an extent that there's like a whole 6-7 media beat now. Respect

I suspect this is true - the humanities will go back to being a status marker. Rich kids and the elect get to study Homer, but the middle class must settle for adjunct-taught mega-lectures before STEM classes.
A grim destination, but right now that is the road the voters keep choosing.

My hot take is that over the next 10 years, we're going to see more emphasis on and investment in the humanities at Ivy League and other fancy schools just as state schools and small privates continue to decimate and even eliminate the humanities.
"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

True. I can vouch for this as an ex-tour leader. The Americans were always the best at getting stuck in to local food*
*though also, I worked in North Africa & the Middle East & I think the subset of Americans who chose to travel there may have been extra excellent Americans.

if there is one American value I really do pride myself on adhering to when I travel abroad, it is “I will enthusiastically try all of your local foods”

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands
And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

To bear out this rosy projection, HSBC assumes that OpenAI will become "as ubiquitous [...] as Microsoft 365" (345mm users worldwide) while bringing in 10x the number of users (3bn).
