Columbia had students who said this was true arrested, expelled, and stripped of their degrees. They were falsely accused of antisemitism by the international press and government for speaking out. What will the consequence be for the perpetrators admitting it? Probably nothing.

@sean_obee and I have edited a special issue of @web_clc called โKeywords for Value and Cultureโ. Across 34 essays, it explores the shared conceptual terrain between value-form theory and aesthetic theory. The full issue is available open access here: docs.lib.purdue.edu/clcweb/vโฆ

Another excellent critique. โThe committee makes a breathtakingly broad claim of left-wing bias overwhelming and totally controlling academia. It offers one anecdoteโฆ And that anecdote directly contradicts its claims.โinsidehighered.com/opinion/cโฆ

So I'm 36 years old and, you know, out of touch with what's going on at colleges, so maybe this is a dumb question, but did every school in the country lose their fucking minds lol. Why have all these universities baked AI into their graduation ceremonies? What fuck is going on?

A lot of scholars donโt understand why publishing LLM hallucinated bullshit is unacceptable because itโs only a degree of kind away from the bullshit already normalized in their fields. This economist just straight up admits it.
I've gotten a lot of comments like this, so forgive me if this isn't very kind, but I'm at my limit. If you're a serious academic, you've spent a lot of time looking at citations, and you know they often contain errors. You know that it's very common for professors just to copy citations they found in other papers and put them into their own papers because they need a lot of citations to look credible. Given that this is going on, it's kind of silly to think that we should have a kind of death penalty for having an LLM, hallucination mistake What you're doing is virtue signaling and pretending that citations are somehow sacred to what academics do, when in fact they're mostly just poorly put up window dressing. You're being dishonest. Perhaps with yourself, perhaps with me.

you've got your "every student is cheating" crowd. then you've got your "every student is cheating because every professor (except me) sucks" crowd. but the only crowd that knows what's what is the "every college administrator is dogshit" crowd

Editing AI text like this is like trying to operate on a body whose skin, muscles, veins, bones, and organs are all compromised. You can't do it. There's nothing to leave intact; nowhere to begin. There's nothing alive to sustain the organism while parts are repaired. (6/7)

BBC has now changed this quote without an editor's note or correction. That is egregious journalistic malpractice that needs an explanation.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

You're not wrong - a storm *IS* blowing from Paradise. Here's why that's bad news:
โข The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead and make whole what's been smashed. But its wings aren't strong enough.
โข What we see as a chain of events? Actually, it's one single catastrophe.
