Respectfully, the courses in your AI Academy seem designed to push "A.i." use on teachers. I see phrases like "You will leave with AI resources you can use tomorrow."
I see no focus on handling cheating and no mention of the cognitive or suicides associated with LLMs.

Yup.
One of the biggest tricks of the car industry was convincing us that parking private cars is a public responsibility, turning shared space into free storage for personal vehicles.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

If you believed a murder was committed in your name yesterday, would you gloat about it?
Would anyone you’ve ever met do that?
Would you invite someone into your home who does that?

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.

So then how can you call this country “great,” “good” and “decent” when we, as a people, knowingly put an evil monster in the White House?
This country knowingly put evil in the White House. This great, good, decent country knowingly put someone who is evil in power. Americans knowingly voted for an evil monster. And so to remind you once more - this Trump era has never been about Trump. It’s always been about us, about us as a people.
