Canvas has enabled me to do exactly nothing more than I did via email and a very basic, open source LLM I could post pdfs to back in 2010. Instead, Canvas has gotten between me and my students in multiple ways and created days worth of extra work for me each semester.

this is when you need a database of everything this lot uniquely fucked up, how much money it wasted, how long to fix it, and the no. of people injured/killed as a result. Paired with photos of the responsible officials.

You need good, effective, memorable accountability journalism.

You can add up all the enjoyable pursuits of LLMs and the work productivity hacks and none of them, separately or together, will be more important than AI’s ecological costs or political disruption.

“We” is more important here.

If you think trans people are a danger to anyone and not fascists and patriarchs and billionaires and bullies and zealots, or think universities don’t have power to resist, you are being manipulated by the bad guys or you are choosing the wrong side of history, that’s it.

I have said this before, but eliminating programs that teach a lot of students but don’t have many majors is like a restaurant not buying flour in its grocery delivery because people aren’t ordering flour on the menu.
