Bart Gets Caught Using CheatGPT On His Homework | The Simpsons
Springfield Elementary takes drastic action when the students begin using an AI app called CheatGPT to do their homework for them. Subscribe for More: http://fox.tv/SubscribeAnimationonFOX Stream The Simpsons on Hulu: https://www.hulu.com/series/the-simpsons See more of The Simpsons on our official site: https://www.fox.com/the-simpsons/ The beloved animated series focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.

AI Is Now Helping Write College Admissions Essays. Is That OK? (Associated Press, 2 December 2025)

#MediaLit #edtechSR #AI #edtech #MediaLiteracy #college #admissi#MediaLit
AI may be scoring your college essay. Welcome to the new era of admissions
Students applying to college know they're not supposed to use AI chatbots to write their essays. So it might come as a surprise that some schools are now using artificial intelligence to read those essays.

Mom's original recipe lists the recipe source as Jinny Federici. Mom also noted it was “a 1970’s USAFA Math Dept favorite.”

First, they rewired information spaces (exploiting attention dynamics & inherent vulnerabilities of social & digital media). Building upon that advantage, they reconfigured the political systems. Now, they use both to shift values into something that would have been unrecognizable mere months ago.
It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.
