This is what happens when the trump White House takes over the social media account for the DoJ. (Axios is reporting they have.) I hope this lands them in legal trouble.

C'mon media. You can do better than reporting it like this. Of course that's what a PRC report would find.

This is such an insane proposal. Beyond obviously being a net negative for students capacity to learn, mental health, safety, etc, etc, AI companies are run by, and partnered with, people and organizations who want to destroy public schools and replace your union members with machines.
We know students, like the rest of the world, are using AI. Teachers need to be equipped to deal w/all the issues AI creates. Our approach starts with maximizing safety & privacy and empowering educators to make educational decisions, so AI tools can benefit not harm www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.
At a New York City training session, educators explored how artificial intelligence could support teaching while also discussing their concerns around the technology.

This was a problem FBI faced many years ago and they claimed to have fixed it after I and some others absolutely lampooned THE SHIT out of them for it, and now they're doing it again because learning from experience is for suckers.
So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

This is funny, but it’s also illustrative of the split between actual reporters, and people like Weiss and Goldberg who are pure commentators. They really don’t understand what journalists do.

Impeachment will fail but they will go through with it. This is how the KMT attacked Chen Shui-bian too. Has nothing to do with democracy (just the opposite), and everything to do with the former authoritarian ruling party's eternal dismay at being in a democracy.

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.
Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

I think it’s pretty likely Bari Weiss quits far sooner than anyone expects because if there’s anything we learned from her tenure at the New York Times it’s that this lady hates working, absolutely despises it, and she probably had to send like four emails today
