โYour oppression will not save youโ - Ta-Nehisi Coates
Translated: donโt assume oneโs living through a horrific experience will make them/you morally better. You can! But youโre just as likely to come out harder, merciless, and hellbent on never letting it happen againโฆ
One of my favorite racially ambiguous 2000s divas it was like are you Polynesian? Filipino? Mulatto? Italian? Indian? He was dressed like my Bratz Boyz dolls

the freakout about the immigrant enclave map really stresses how much people's view of new york city is frozen in the godfather part ii flashback scenes and thereabouts. we are simply not a city of non-anglo european recent immigrants and their children anymore

The Atlanticโs new cover story on the decline of reading features a Harvard student who complained that he had to read a book written in "Old English."
Now, you might be thinking that he was assigned Beowulf or The Canterbury Tales.
Nope.
This student was assigned A Clockwork Orangeโand used ChatGPT to โtranslateโ it.
A Clockwork Orange was written in 1962 (not 1692, which is still modern English, by the way). This studentโs grandparents were alive in the 60s. Is he also using a translation bot to speak to them?
Yes, I had an easier time than most people with the novel's Nadsat slang because I speak Russian, but you catch on very quickly if you turn on more than two brain cellsโand the entire point is to compel you to inhabit Alexโs deranged mind, which is cool!

A Brown professor gave his students a take-home midterm exam. After suspecting many cheated using AI, he made the final in-person. The orange dots are the midterm scores and the gray dots are the final scores. Looks like all but 3 cheated on the midterm.
