@LuizaJarovsky @mehdirhasan Duh.

🚨 University professors have been saying AI is completely destroying learning and that we'll soon have an AI-powered, semi-illiterate workforce. Here's a glimpse into the educational apocalypse: "Sarah, a freshman at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, said she first used ChatGPT to cheat during the spring semester of her final year of high school. (...) After getting acquainted with the chatbot, Sarah used it for all her classes: Indigenous studies, law, English, and a “hippie farming class” called Green Industries. “My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.” Sarah continued to use AI when she started college this past fall. Why wouldn’t she? Rarely did she sit in class and not see other students’ laptops open to ChatGPT. Toward the end of the semester, she began to think she might be dependent on the website. She already considered herself addicted to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Reddit, where she writes under the username maybeimnotsmart. “I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.” - "By November, Williams estimated that at least half of his students were using AI to write their papers. Attempts at accountability were pointless. Williams had no faith in AI detectors, and the professor teaching the class instructed him not to fail individual papers, even the clearly AI-smoothed ones. “Every time I brought it up with the professor, I got the sense he was underestimating the power of ChatGPT, and the departmental stance was, ‘Well, it’s a slippery slope, and we can’t really prove they’re using AI,’” Williams said. “I was told to grade based on what the essay would’ve gotten if it were a ‘true attempt at a paper.’ So I was grading people on their ability to use ChatGPT.” - AI in education is a serious topic, and many schools and universities are blindly jumping into the "AI-first" wave without considering short and long-term consequences. It would be great to hear more from teachers and educators to understand potential solutions. This might be a great opportunity for rethinking the education system and how students are assessed. - 👉 Link to the full article below. 👉 To learn more about AI's legal and ethical challenges, join my newsletter's 94,700+ subscribers (link below).

@ATCNY I hope the pain Trump is about to bring to the United States is worth the security of Israel (which Biden and Kamala would have supported anyways). I know my subscriptions to fantasy baseball websites will be the first to cancel.

Here's a rare non-baseball tweet of mine, as I am about to attend my family Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite American holidays, if not my favorite. You may agree or disagree with what these people have to say. In America, it is your right to do so. But the message that these people are making here is far more suited for a protest outside of City Hall, or adjacent to the Capital building. They aren't protesting Ronald McDonland's float. You also typically need to obtain a permit for the right to peacefully protest. But instead, these people are intentionally blocking a Thanksgiving Day parade - where people are coming out in the rain with their familes to enjoy. This isn't the time and place for such a protest. These people clearly don't care about others' time and enjoyment on a national holiday. Its also my right to comment on what the protesters are wearing. The masks worn are clearly not for hygenic reasons - it is because they don't want their faces to be detected. That's their right to do so, of course. What isn't visible is anything patriotic, or American. I don't see a single American flag. In fact, I've never seen an American flag at any protest that was pro-Palestinian. That's their right as well not to waive an American flag. I do think that the multicolred ponchos look quite good, but I'd kindly ask the protesters that you not block parade routes in the future. Or block traffic. Go to City hall, or the capital - and protest the governments policies - not disrupt a parade with cartoon character floats. Thanks!

@thealfordplea @davidsirota Haha… 15 years.

@davidsirota Towards the end Plouffe angrily uses the phrase “the right has a well oiled echo chamber that we can’t easily penetrate” and I’m just like…do you not realize how that “echo chamber” was forged over the last 15 years?

@cal50 Dick Cheney is putting aside his differences and voting with you, you fucking moron.

@cfmalloy Battle tested… through ignoring their clients’ questions and stealing their money. That’s the kind of attorney I want!

Battle tested, just like Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, & others, fighting woke MFers like you. Always survived. Every time. Just like Trump.

@ConLawWarrior Hahaha. You forgot to say why you think the dam has broken. What are public schools doing en masse to force people to go the private route? I won’t hold my breath.

Like it or not, the school-choice dam has broken. Public schools have broken trust with parents in a way that I believe can never be fully repaired. I say this as a product of (I like to think) an excellent public-school education all the way through law school. It’s a new era.

@JursJustin @WaldropColvin @AComprime @adrianweckler @smcs I’m also interested in hearing the benefit to the employee in an at-will employment situation.

Elon Musk's attempted fire-by-email of European Twitter VP @smcs has been overruled by Irish Court. You can't fire people like that in Europe. independent.ie/business/techn…

@StopTheBS2022 @mosconml @WalshFreedom Why does it matter? Are crime rates up in border cities vs. northern cities? What specific problem does this cause?

Oh, u want a solution? Ok. Secure the border, don’t let anyone come here ILLEGALLY. Greatly expand LEGAL immigration. Adjudicate asylum claims immediately. Expand seasonal & temp worker programs. Give citizenship to those brought here as children. Embrace refugees. There.

@therakepasta @Dejan_Kovacevic The Bears were mocked for trading up one spot to take Trubisky when Mahomes, Lamar, and Watson were available in that draft. Trubisky was still graded as a pro bowl talent with a high floor.

@JoeAnderson412 @MarkMaddenX Hahahahahaha. Chris Wallace couldn’t even stay on the network. It’s as bad as OAN or Newsmax. Across the board.

The right is equally guilty. Fox is an abomination.

@mehoymenoy691 @KodyDuncanPGH That’s 35 HR in a full year… so… yes?

The one thing I love about Oneil Cruz: He can hit lefties just as good if not better than righties. Something you really want to see power left-handed batters have in their repertoire

@Mister_Fun_Guy @BradMossEsq Goes to Trump’s state of mind.

@chimerical_cal @apark2453 Are you too stupid to understand the difference between parents making decisions for their kids and the government making decisions for everyone? FFS.

I am once again begging crazy people to recognize that "not having foreskin" and "being forced by the government to carry a pregnancy" are nowhere near the same goddamned thing.

@RealAppraiserSC @luciechambers10 @cray_ralph @SVU681 @AoDespair What are Muslims trying to force on the rest of us?

Speaking for Omar and Michael K both, can I ask you to get The Wire out of your mouth from this point forward? Because whatever we were trying to say about the commonality in the human condition, it clearly and cleanly eluded you.

@sham2906 @UltraSuperReal @MarkMaddenX thedailybeast.com/far-right-boog…

I sure do.

@Matt_Maisel What about…

NFL works in 20 year cycles. 1980s: Montana leads the way, with Marino, Elway, Kelly, Young all in tow until we get to… 2000s: Brady & Manning, with Ben, Rivers, and Eli until… 2020s: Mahomes. Then Allen, Herbert, Burrow, Lamar.

@PepsiMaxxer @AkivaMCohen Who is the supreme leader on the left that can fix COVID? Biden? GTFOH.

It's amazing to me that right wing folks are just tweeting this out without any recognition at all that it's describing THEM.

@yinzerchemist @gerrydulac He was a top 10ish QB last year, starting the season 11-0.

Unlike Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Joe Montana, Ben Roethlisberger is not interested in playing for another team.
