My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site in Mexico, using LiDAR data from a NASA dataset. 72 hours from a random thought on vacation to a reply from Mexico's national archaeology institute. What a time to be alive…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This site is not unknown or unmapped. Per Dr. Sarah Parcak, Dr. Francisco Estrada-Belli of Tulane University identified, researched, and published this site years ago. bsky.app/profile/indyfr… liberalarts.tulane.edu/anthropology/p…

NEW: Last school year, a 7th grader viewed 4,700 YouTube videos during class. An 8th grader viewed 5,700 videos in class. A 2nd grader viewed ~500 in just 2 months. Less than 5% were educational. @nbcnews analyzed the YouTube watch histories of students from across the country. My new story shows how far some take it on their school laptops and iPads --> nbcnews.com/specials/hooked-…
How YouTube junk is infiltrating classrooms

How YouTube junk is infiltrating classrooms

Schools wanted educational videos. Students got clickbait. A first-of-its-kind analysis reveals how students are drawn into a platform that keeps them scrolling during class.

Claude, launch an independent agent to make unintelligible sales pitches to random strangers. Make no mistakes.

This is the ideal marmot body. You may not understand it. But this is what peak performance looks like.

Consider this thought experiment: "University X has seen graduation, retention rates increase after new adopting policy of giving all students As, regardless of how they perform -- and whether they even come to class." Not far from reality in many cases. calmatters.org/education/hig…

Is it a Covid hangover effect when we were staring at our computer screens? And, yes, most still end with “THANK YOU!” because that’s too difficult to say at the end of a long talk. 😏
