I have not yet run across this and I still hate it. I know authors don't always have the final say on all aspects of their book, but this strikes me as something worth taking a stand on.
A new thing that I hate:
I’m reading a book right now that uses endnote citations, and directs the reader to SCAN A QR CODE to access the endnotes.

This is appalling. We need to strengthen protections for LGBTQ+ students -- not weaken them.
Remember: In New York, LGBTQ+ students are still protected against discrimination in schools by state laws that go beyond Title IX’s and the federal Constitution’s protections.

2 festivals with no budget for speakers
1 writing course with no budget for teachers
1 film project with no budget to option the book - plus they wanted me to write the screenplay. For free.
Don't do it, kids. Don't work for free. Because to them, what's free is worthless.

Manuscripts and grant proposals submitted for *peer* review are typically meant to be confidential. I'm fairly confident the text of these confidential documents have now been uploaded to an LLM. I don't know which one, but I'm guessing it wasn't a 'local' LLM sandboxed on someone's computer.

I resent having to use my remaining brain power to deal with AI
My undergrad large-lecture syllabus is now ready. Here's all of what I had to do to fend off AI:
-Physical copy of the textbook is required (so material can't be auto-summarized). The mechanism for this is that tests and quizzes are open book, but only the physical copy can be used.

New Yorkers had to subsidize the $117 million that the NYPD paid out for misconduct lawsuits in 2025 alone, even though most of them were never personally abused by a cop.
Where's your worried op-ed on that one?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

No matter how good Zohran Mamdani makes grocery affordability sound, he's selling New Yorkers the same broken promise that has failed everywhere else.

This is just so gross
My home state of Ohio, which is waging war on higher ed because it doesn't really value it at all, is now requiring all public university syllabi to be publicly posted.
Ohio college syllabi are going public under Senate Bill 1
Students – and members of the public – will be able to access more information about undergraduate courses offered at community colleges and state universities.

If human editors can’t control who reviews science, it’s no longer peer review — it’s a rubber-stamp machine designed for volume and profit, not quality. I have no intention of attaching my name to it. So I’m out.

Does he mean pioneer in the sense of died on the Oregon Trail of dysentery
Before my visit, Raw Farm's founder Mark McAfee told me he's a trailblazer:
“I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital, and they have been sick, but they recovered," he said.
"But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer. And I’m going against the grain here. I’m climbing a mountain they say you can’t climb."

This is equally true of quantitative data. Ethical and privacy management are essential parts of responsible data sharing policies and practices.
Also, there are many alternatives to "pure" open sharing that help to address when confidentiality and transparency are at odds.

"Today, confidentiality risks are amplified by social media, surveillance, and AI tools, which make ample data about people publicly available, thus making deidentification less effective"
