What's the most stupid movie reference you have to stop yourself saying regularly? Mine is not replying to "Can I be frank?" with "Okay, Frank. Can I be Bullwinkle".

I can’t believe medicine hasn’t come up with a better way to do mammograms. That is some primitive shit right there.

It's funny because I always heard that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich.

WIRED also kills it with ambitious narrative storytelling. Pieces you can lean back and spend time with (in the mag, on your phone, wherever)!
Take, for example, Evan Ratliff’s dive into the world’s first AI-inflected death cult, the Zizians, and their staggering cross-country murder spree.

Oh, I will be judging.
I actually can and will judge people who are using environmentally devastating technology built on mass theft to create a fictional partner who does nothing but tell how great they are.

It's funny that she uses driverless cars as a metaphor here. I use it too when I tell my freshman comp students why we won't use ChatGPT in a class that is meant to teach them to write: would you use a self-driving car in driver's ed?
This is about protecting public education, supporting our members, and ensuring AI serves our students and society, not the other way around. We need AI to be more like a GPS, where educators are in control and it helps us navigate, not like we’re run over by a driverless car.

In July of 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered one of the greatest speeches in US history. Today it’s often presented in abridged form, though, and skips what seems like a long-winded introduction. If you read the intro closely, however, there’s an ingenious structure. THREAD👇🏽

Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

I think one thing chatGPT's invention has revealed is how many people - including some very important people in society - find just basic reading and writing to be laborious and cumbersome to perform, and how oddly closely that type of strained literacy correlates with having other shitty opinions.
Leading mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo faced fierce backlash from his rivals on Monday over his campaign, citing the AI software ChatGPT in a section of his housing plan released over the weekend.

Who could have foretold that the most valuable thing about studying abroad in the UK in 1998 is that it would enable me to have an opinion on a movie in which Robbie Williams is represented by a CGI monkey?

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?

Yes. I’m going to try to find that balance between being aware of what’s happening in the world and understanding it without getting caught up in what will be an overwhelming spray of scandal, corruption and “palace intrigue”. I’m not watching The Trump Show
