Maybe the thing that gives me a pulse-pounding throbbing headache is when I think of how techbros sold ChatGPT to universities as ‘revolutionizing’ higher education and our institutions just forked over money without even asking for actual evidence
When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same.

Step by step guide to higher ed crisis for Dem candidates giving stump speeches. This isn’t hard:
1) States cut taxes to serve the rich
2) with less revenue, they cut public higher ed budgets
3) with lower budgets, schools raise tuition and throw money at investments, athletics, and development

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
