This is a superb unit of measurement for government spending

Or, perhaps, through reification of a measure, we have created a divine oracle...who can say?

What's worse is that they have genuinely no way to update their priors. They will literally never hear about this empirical reality. And even if someone confronted them about it. It would not matter. They will not reason themselves out of something they did not reason themselves into.

Oh and the fact that we just stopped teaching kids how to read for a while

This is entirely consistent with my experience.

Most of the LLM garbage I have to read is from students who lack the time and resources, not the aptitude or desire, to learn.

I'm weird. I teach majors only and grad school.

But aside from a few jerks, it's basic needs insecurity all the way down

My Boyo: "we aren't allowed to watch YouTube shorts in my house"
Friendo: "why not?"
My Girl: "because they make you hate girls"
Friendo: "they also talk about Jesus and it makes me crash out"

Parents, YouTube shorts are the actual deviltongue

I want to again say that CSWE's accreditation staff and volunteers are amazing. The amount of time and practice wisdom that goes into each visit and benchmark...

It's very clear social work leaders spent a lot of time on this and continue to prioritize it through norms, community, and service.

Oh, it's that part of the semester where I get teary eyed talking about Aaron Swartz and how people have died for the right to scientific information.

Social work, too. NYU students circulated a petition to oppose mandatory AI simulations that would use student data to train models.

I'm a bajillionty percent sure it's the same grant slush funds going around to AstroTurf AI into all learning spaces

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack.
