DuBois could have been writing about AI:

"The milking of cows is a worthy industry but it is not a cultural study upon which any honest college can base its bachelor's degree."

Corporate life will teach you that knowing the job is only half the battle. The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the room, managing ego, receiving vague feedback, and not replying emails with your real thoughts.

“Nobody wants to work anymore.” Imagine explaining a five-round interview process to Boomers for entry-level jobs.

We are pleased to announce our new fast pass degree plan. For a premium, students can skip all those annoying classes, get a sheet of paper that says “degree,” and fast forward to graduation without any of the inconvenience of coming to campus or going to classes.

I just want to point out....

The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.

[Freyy @Freyy_is]

the amount of creativity and talent buried under poverty is heartbreaking. imagine how many geniuses never got the chance to even try.

Universities lost their way when vice provost became a more lucrative and prestigious career path than professor.

Capitalism makes quitting your job feel like risking your life, because it ties your basic survival needs to staying employed. This system is predatory.

🚨 University professors have been saying AI is completely destroying learning and that we'll soon have an AI-powered, semi-illiterate workforce. Here's a glimpse into the educational apocalypse:

"Sarah, a freshman at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, said she first used ChatGPT to cheat during the spring semester of her final year of high school. (...) After getting acquainted with the chatbot, Sarah used it for all her classes: Indigenous studies, law, English, and a “hippie farming class” called Green Industries. “My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.” Sarah continued to use AI when she started college this past fall. Why wouldn’t she? Rarely did she sit in class and not see other students’ laptops open to ChatGPT. Toward the end of the semester, she began to think she might be dependent on the website. She already considered herself addicted to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Reddit, where she writes under the username maybeimnotsmart. “I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.”

-

"By November, Williams estimated that at least half of his students were using AI to write their papers. Attempts at accountability were pointless. Williams had no faith in AI detectors, and the professor teaching the class instructed him not to fail individual papers, even the clearly AI-smoothed ones. “Every time I brought it up with the professor, I got the sense he was underestimating the power of ChatGPT, and the departmental stance was, ‘Well, it’s a slippery slope, and we can’t really prove they’re using AI,’” Williams said. “I was told to grade based on what the essay would’ve gotten if it were a ‘true attempt at a paper.’ So I was grading people on their ability to use ChatGPT.”

-

AI in education is a serious topic, and many schools and universities are blindly jumping into the "AI-first" wave without considering short and long-term consequences.

It would be great to hear more from teachers and educators to understand potential solutions.

This might be a great opportunity for rethinking the education system and how students are assessed.

If capitalism truly rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists.

If it rewarded talent, it would be artists, writers, and creators.

If it rewarded hard work, it would be cleaners, laborers, and service workers.

But it’s none of them.

[Hollis Robbins @anecdotal]

Academia is dismantling itself faster than its critics can. Students (and paying parents) want an education from subject matter experts, not glitchy course software. Do not be fooled that this means access. It means the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Teachers and Admin think the school is theirs because they work there. The parents think the school is theirs because they send their kids to school there. For a public school, the parents are correct.
