This sounds familiar:
"Predictably, the response from higher education administrators―who are busy signing contracts for institutional LLM subscriptions to show how future-first their thought leadership is―has been to tell instructors that their job is to teach students “how to use AI effectively.”
Most examples of this “effective use” involve students generating an essay with AI and then critiquing it."

GOS is obsessed with @gael@mastodon.social and @murena@mastodon.social
Cherry-picked soundbite, long-ass thread, crybullying, mudslinging, the works.

From the blog archives, this nearly 2-year-old post about #LinkedIn Collaborative Articles.
Apparently it needed updating because they stopped accepting articles in June 2025. They also retired the badges in September 2024!

Mistral has raised $830 million in new debt (from 7 banks) to buy 13,800 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GPUs for its AI data centre that is expected to be ready by the end of 2026.
Will there be a follow-up on this story in a few months? Who will the clients be? (Destined-to-fail AI startups?) What's the plan for when the Rubin GPUs launch and this centre is out-of-date?

"For the ‘content’ of a medium is like the juicy piece of meat carried by the burglar to distract the watchdog of the mind." (Marshall McLuhan)
"Without that mental friction, students might experience weaker memory consolidation."
"The Atrophy of the Critical ‘Muscle’: [...] delegating writing and text interpretation to AI can atrophy the capacity for synthesis and critical thinking."

"Recognizing a bad idea beneath good writing — even in myself — is part of my job. But what would it mean to grow up with that kind of companion? What would it mean to have your every adolescent intuition turned into persuasive prose? What is lost in not having to do the work to build out our intuitions ourselves?"
