We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

Next up in my series about whether my 9 year old daughter will be going to college: I talked to 12 professors about how AI has changed their classrooms. newyorker.com/news/fault-lin…

This CBS interview w Thomas Massie is insane.
Massie: “my policy has always been, no country is special and no country deserves my constituents’ taxpayer dollars.
So I’ve never voted for foreign aid, to Egypt, to Syria, to Israel or to Ukraine… but the ones in Israel … they are the biggest recipients so they are mad.” […]
CBS: “…are you antisemitic?”
Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie pushed back on criticism from President Trump and GOP leadership ahead of a costly and closely watched primary against former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, telling CBS News’ @edokeefe the race has become a referendum on party loyalty, foreign policy and outside political spending.
Massie is one of the few Republicans in Congress who has opposed the war with Iran and has voted with Democrats to rein in Trump's authority to carry out further military action without congressional authorization. He has also voted against symbolic resolutions backing Israel, as well as a resolution condemning antisemitism that he argued promoted censorship.

“Anyone who has tried to change their body in the gym has not forgotten that the heart is in conflict with itself: one wants a certain outcome, but finds blockages within that he didn’t know were there.”

If you're at or around @Hillsdale, next week I'll be giving a few talks--one out of my forthcoming book, and another about Brazos Fellows. I'd love to meet you--come and say hi!

Let us never forget such terrible doings were an integral part of much of the American experience.

Slaves were mortgaged like we do to houses today. Brophy clearly lays out the savage system of just what it meant for slaves to be "property," a term used but rarely discussed in detail in my history education.

Chance's No Problem makes a pretty good pre-prelim exam anthem. Just sub "prelim" for "label" and dance.
