Also, today's news about Grok posting antisemitic filth shows how vulnerable these "services" are to manipulation by their owners. If educators partner with these companies, what protection do they have from a billionaire deciding to tweak the systems to push hatred and filth?
None.
Just say no.
None.
Just say no.

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

What happens when people with the institutional power to fight evil people don’t fight is those without institutional power despair.
You can blame desperate people for the suffering that’s coming their way, if you want, but doing so doesn’t distinguish you from fascists.

No "immunity" ruling. Again.
When Trump and his lawyers make the "legal" argument that Trump's above the law for life, and the judicial system's response isn't a quick "what, are you kidding, no," that alone is a big problem.
When speed helps Trump, SCOTUS has ruled fast. When delay does, they wait.
