1. A network of prominent news outlets, including The Oregonian, The Plain Dealer, The Star-Ledger, have quietly published more than 17,000 articles since 2022 pushing promo codes for sports books and prediction markets
Advance Local, which owns these outlets, claims this is journalism.
@JayaGup10 You've hit the nail on the head but these forces were already well cemented in niche technology industries years before we saw frontier GenAI models. Look at Blackmagic Design's influence
For one attorney’s work over a 24-hour stretch, a law firm billed city of Chicago for 69 hours. The city paid it. Now the city is clawing back after @chicagotribune questions but concerns remain over their processes. Amazing digging by @joemahr@jmetr22b

Good test of did you write something well - if you give it to an LLM and ask the LLM to improve it, does it get worse? I've been doing this for a year now
Please, I'm begging you, try to critically examine the differences between these two pieces of writing.
ChatGPT editing did not improve this. Every single change only served to weaken your claims significantly. Everything is now hedged into oblivion: no longer have you outlined a "problem," now it's merely a "flaw." "It is true" now demoted to "it appears to be the case." "Is" gets a "usually" tacked on. A thesis statement at the end of the first paragraph gets run over by noisy, out-of-context example-whittling. All for fear of being misconstrued.
And at the end, the argument that gets spat out isn't even yours anymore! You argued that Graeber failed to create a true account of work because he did not understand Chesterton's Fence. ChatGPT is arguing is that it is possible some apparently bullshit jobs could be secretly load-bearing if you squint. These are two different statements. The second is weaker and less compelling. It says less. And it's fucking longer!
Don't do this anymore! Stop doing this! It's worse!!!
@hjluks No one but Jay Shah talks about nerve sensitization which is a common influence for people considering cortisone vs PT. Pain neuroscience education is not profitable!
@cryptopunk7213 This has always been relatively easy except for the idiot buyers agents who won't show it to their buyers because they don't know how to handle their side of the transaction without handholding from the sellers' agent
@teachthemx3 I used to fall asleep in classes that didn't allow laptops and had long lectures about LOTR or clubbing in Ibiza which had no relevance to the curriculum. Honestly I wish I paid more attention to the Ibiza story, but that prof gave me a C with the highest final exam score. Ass
Well said, Barbara. Every school leader should make this article mandatory reading. 👇🏻
The efficacy, or lack thereof, of student-centered learning is the most exhausting argument in education.
If you think about the things you learned from your parents - tying your shoes, riding a bike, cooking an egg, cutting with a knife - how did they do it? This was not child-led inquiry-based learning. You’d never figure it out! And in some cases maybe do real harm to yourself and others.
There’s a logical time to allow students to think freely and explore their own ideas but that’s well after the basics have been mastered through explicit instruction.
Imagine being a bright-eyed J-School grad eager to launch your reporting career, and the editor of Cleveland's metro daily puts you on blast for wanting to be a journalist instead of an AI content farmer. https://t.co/sUbhYi9LwO
The Teaching Method That Can't Fail
by Barbara Oakley
"We have more research than ever on how the brain actually learns. And yet, in country after country, the teaching methods being promoted are the ones that research says work least well for beginners."

@cullend@lauriewired What you're saying is that while people may see the same footage, they're interpreting it differently. The same shared viewing experience exists as it did on 9/11. The phenomenon you describe is a good substitute for the one that Laurie described https://t.co/5vxmAh26DN
