"Where the Dream Train Goes" is set in a valley where every dream people have is stored inside dreamstones buried within the surrounding mountains. Unfortunately, many people see profit in mining and selling those dreams.

I believe this story is one of the best I've ever written. Check it out. 2/

H. sapiens didn't even *have* skin that pale until well after Neanderthals disappeared from the fossil record! Like, the we have genetic evidence that humans with my pasty complexion only started showing up like 7000 years ago, from what I remember!

What’s the Point of School When AI Can Do Your Homework? The creator of the AI agent “Einstein” wants to free humans from the burden of academic labor. Critics say that misses the point of education entirely.

I will admit Bluesky can be kinda annoying at times, and one of those times is when relatively prominent people come on here solely to insult the entire userbase over some silly drama

5. The US economy’s dependence on AI may have been overstated, experts say. In 2025: it became conventional wisdom that AI was a major driver of growth. But some prominent economists estimate that it contributed as little as 0% to economic status

Aren’t we lucky that universities haven’t gotten carried away with the hype and taken a careful approach to AI?
Imagine if they had decided to push AI into our teaching and work life!
All praise to our leaders in higher ed for not falling for hype, hallelujah and praise the goddess
