my laptop (you know, the 9 year old one i mentioned before) refuses to connect to any wifi network that’s not my house, my parents’ house, or work (& even that’s iffy) & i feel like it can’t be every coffee shop in multiple states’ fault…
sigh, time to buy a new laptop 😩

It’s the entire point. There’s no plan to make this meaningful for students. No plan to use it administratively. Its design and implementation signals its only real intent. It’s best and easiest use case is for systematic harassment and to scare faculty into complying in advance.
We know the students don’t read the syllabuses. So who will? Right-wing activists looking for excuses to hound profs.

simple, common sense advice (that i’m sure we give all our students), and yet…
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.
