“The world is too violent for you not to play.” An offhand comment by Torkwase Dyson at her talk last night that’s been turning over in my head ever since.

NEW: The Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration from imposing new rules on mail-in voting before the November midterm elections.
That means nothing has changed for voters — and mail-in voting can proceed as planned.

I find that, no matter how many ways I acknowledge LLMs etc are changing, people dismiss me as “crazy” or “unserious” because I refuse to attribute those changes to “intelligence.” I will say again, automated language production and intelligence are completely different things.

The open secret to pedagogy research is that small class sizes/maximizing educator attention per pupil is the simplest, most effective, and unfortunately the least attractive to administration thing you can do to improve learning outcomes.
We know how to teach books in the age of AI: small classes, close reading, research-engaged learning (which is how you ’let students see you struggle’). The issue is nobody will hire and pay the requisite # of faculty to offer this.

I have seven invitations from student groups to talk about A.I.
They know what I think about A.I. That's why they asked me.
They aren't feeling it, y'all.

At the center of my message to faculty yesterday was: 1.) We may not be adequately prepared for how angry students are about tech. 2.) They are not all angry for the same reasons. 3.) Being angry at it doesn’t mean they aren’t using it. The sense of entrapment fuels the anger.
