I fear the future when the students use the LLM to write the thing and the prof uses the LLM to grade the thing, and the prof uses an LLM to write their tenure narrative, and the external reviewer uses an LLM to write their letter, and higher ed is just a bunch of LLMs talking to each other.
This sucks; what are we even doing?

Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma.

Lupita Nyong’o opens up about what happened after her Oscar win. Hollywood kept offering her more parts as an enslaved woman, pushing the same stereotype again and again.

not the Brett Ratner who is friends with Benjamin Netanyahu, was accused of sexual harassment & assault by multiple women in 2017, and then fled to Israel?

huh….it’s a shame how men in Hollywood keep getting cancelled & can never work in this industry again🙄

Alternate take: the *vast majority* of us have NOT used AI in our classes.
About 25 percent of faculty members have used AI to save time in creating more engaging in-class activities or generating quizzes and other assessments. Yet talking about AI use is taboo in some quarters. https://chroni.cl/4rjLxQp

Why Professors Are Using AI in Course Design
Some believe in the technology’s promises; others are simply desperate for help.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

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

Can I wait to watch BLOSSOMS SHANGHAI until January when all episodes have dropped and I can binge it. Or will I succumb tonight?

Looking for an alternative to that presentist, sausage-fest 100 Best Comedies list? May I recommend Cinema’s First Nasty Women, a collection of 99 silent-era films of feminist protest, slapstick and mayhem.

There’s nothing like a circle of women who want the best for each other. Women who strategize. Women who mediate between one another and manipulate the world with a unified, equitable objective. You were probably taught that this isn’t our nature. Society stole that from you. We are the best at it.

I love FORCE OF EVIL and the way it connects the illegal “numbers racket” to capitalism, so I’m going with that.
