“Already, generative AI is capable of assuming, to a great degree, the roles of the traditional professor. Soon, we may begin to consider AI as a professor in its own right.” 💀
The synthetic professor
We have reached a point in the development of generative AI that synthetic AI professors are poised to enter academe.

Among demands on Columbia to restore fed. funding: “put its Middle East, South Asian and African Studies Department under academic receivership for at least five years. This would mean that faculty lose control of the department and the university puts an outside chair in charge.” (InsideHigherEd)

There’s a piece on InsideHigherEd today about how students are “using” “AI” at higher rates than faculty. Yeah no shit we’re supposed to be embodying Critical Thinking about this stuff, which is mostly industry PR

I had the pleasure of serving on David's dissertation committee. It's a terrific project that debunks the old conventional wisdom that "responsible" conservatism rejected the far-right fringe in the 1960s.
A must-read on modern conservatism, especially with the far right resurgent now.

A suggestion from Facebook memories that I still like: "I'd love to see an academic magazine like @insidehighered or the @chronicle do a week with only essays by authors crossing boundaries." That is, have English faculty sing the praises of STEM and vice versa.

Scary Napkin Math:
InsideHigherEd lists ~1000 student visas revoked now. (These students are here legally! And not criminals!)
With no official reporting system, this must be an undercount.
If the real # is 2x that, it approaches 1 in 500 intl students.
What is the real goal here?
