Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

🧵Not yet peer reviewed. But also: decisions are already being made with no research. “What really motivated me to put it out now before waiting for a full peer review is that I am afraid in 6-8 months, there will be some policymaker who decides, ‘let’s do GPT kindergarten.’ time.com/7295195/ai-c...

The newest and most powerful A.I. technologies — so-called reasoning systems from companies like OpenAI, Google and the Chinese start-up DeepSeek — are generating more errors, not fewer. As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier.
A.I. Hallucinations Are Getting Worse, Even as New Systems Become More Powerful
A new wave of “reasoning” systems from companies like OpenAI is producing incorrect information more often. Even the companies don’t know why.

We want the war horse.
Jesus rides a donkey.
We want the eagle.
The Holy Spirit descends as a dove.
We want to take up swords.
Jesus takes up a cross.
We want the roaring lion.
God comes as a slaughtered lamb.
We keep trying to arm God.
God keeps trying to disarm us.

Thinking about calls for students to refine their prompt engineering skills because it's supposed to help secure The Jobs of the Future and wondering if instead we should be working with youth to analyze the political economy of AI, develop a Luddite praxis, and build coalitions to fight back.
Elon Musk and the Trump administration are actively aiming to kill 200,000 American jobs. They are targeting the most vulnerable workers and workers in agencies that most threaten the billionaire class, and aiming to replace them with low-rent AI.

How we read online is already deeply complicated. New AI tools are bound to change our reading habits and our relationship with text. What this means for how we teach reading as a skill in the wake of AI agents is something we should consider. marcwatkins.substack.com/p/reading-in...
Reading in the Age of Social Media (and AI)
I’ve published quite a bit about AI’s impact on reading and I’m still not entirely sure how students or the general public will use AI reading assistance.
