I think about this so often.
I blame a lot of our cultural decline on making it acceptable for adults to never wean off things meant for children

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

I think “live every day as if it’s your last” is the worst pop wisdom. If it was my last day I would lay around moping and indulging in my cheap comforts. People should live like they have 80 years left and therefore work towards building things that matter.

Universities would not be nearly as vulnerable to the present administration had it not been for the five decades of increasingly neoliberal policies within them leading up to this.

People working in universities know a lot of the work that makes the organization function is outsourced to for-profit companies (catering, landscaping) or runs on platforms requiring payments to such companies: Workday, Canvas, Microsoft, Zoom.

This thread will be for less obvious examples. 1/
