I hate that people are out there falsely accusing people of using AI without the slightest bit of self-awareness of their own ethical breaches in doing so. For example, breaching the confidentiality of peer-review process.
I also hate that it makes me sound like I'm defending AI to point this out.

A Texas Republican candidate had a bigoted outburst over a video of college-football fans—and his xenophobia should matter to both parties, Conor Friedersdorf argues.

In the days following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, institutions rushed to appease online mobs and vitriolic politicians who demanded takedowns of anyone critical of the right-wing influencer.
Now, courts have forced them to answer to something much more enduring than right-wing pressure: the law.

Banning devices won’t stop law students from using AI 🤷🏾♀️
I’m also not the police or mom in the classroom. Let’s teach students how to effectively use it where appropriate, set expectations for when it’s not, and hold them accountable.
