🦔UC Berkeley's computer science department just posted its worst failure rates in years. 35.3% of CS 10 students got F's in spring 2026, up from under 10% in prior semesters. Professor Dan Garcia says the primary driver is a "vast increase in academic dishonesty" through LLMs. Students use AI to complete assignments, never learn the material, then fail exams. His office hours, once full, are now empty.
My Take
Companies are firing experienced engineers while the pipeline that produces new ones is being gutted by the same technology. Students use AI to bypass the hard part of learning, show up to exams without the understanding, and fail. One professor discovered a student's linear algebra class had an "open AI" policy for homework and exams. That student then couldn't do basic linear algebra in the next course.
Both ends of the workforce are eroding at the same time. Senior engineers are getting cut to fund AI spending. Junior engineers are graduating without the skills because AI did their coursework. And the companies spending trillions on these tools haven't connected those two facts yet.

Senate links rising insecurity to indiscipline, asks NOA to restore civic values
The senate has linked rising insecurity in the country to a growing culture of indiscipline, while calling on the National Orientation Agency (NOA) to intensify values restoration efforts within the citizenry.
The resolution followed the adoption of a motion titled ‘The Growing Menace of Indiscipline in Nigerian Society’, sponsored by Dachung Mwadkon, senator representing Plateau north.

@ZachLowy Cucurella and Enzo are struggling linked to Real Madrid, while Pedro is back up for Barcelona should Alvarez deal fail (if it already hasn't). Pedro will see Raphina's success at Barcelona as a template
The Senate, on Tuesday, took a decisive step toward reshaping Nigeria’s fight against malaria, passing for third reading a bill seeking the establishment of the National Agency for Malaria Elimination, a dedicated body expected to coordinate nationwide efforts aimed at controlling and ultimately eradicating the disease.

My newest pet peeve is reading journos yap that "Liverpool have a preferred playing style; Iraola's style suits that so I can see why they've gone for him". This media bandwagon brand of writing is tiring and lazy. The implied note that Slot had a style that didn't fit is idiocy
This deserves far more attention!!!
Telegram, the app many of us use for its no ads, large groups, and unrestricted file sharing features, has quietly become a criminal marketplace in Nigeria, enabling buying and selling of women in different forms.
@DubawaFacts has done an excellent investigation, uncovering how Telegram is enabling prostitution networks in Lagos and several other states, recruiting, trafficking, and exploiting these women.

I'm not convinced about Barcola. I've not seen enough to prove he'll be a good fit. His output is so low volume man. Now Kroupi on the other hand though! 😍
@TheAdhamSameh Also, the last time Arsenal won the league before 25/26 season was in 2004. Liverpool won the Champions league that year too managed by a Spanish coach.
Konate was depressed following Jota's and his father's demise. Figured that must have impacted on his performance last season. This checks out because at many games he appeared like someone whose head was not in the game, and we thought he was thinking about Madrid & his contract
@LFC_JimmyOS Not seen any reports corroborate what you just tweeted though. I've seen more official reports state Slots was the preferred option compared to other candidates that were considered, but that's irrelevant. My point is revisionism should be discouraged
@LFC_JimmyOS On the contrary, Slot was picked in the first place because, according to data, he stylistically resembled Klopp among the list of available candidates they shortlisted. Everyone saying now that "Slot did not fit" are being clowns
🚨 EXCL: Manchester City submit opening offer to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson. #MCFC bid rejected by #NFFC but pursuit ongoing. Club bosses spoke at UEFA dinner last week (no suggestion it was to negotiate deal). W/ @lauriewhitwell@TheAthleticFC https://t.co/ZCZbfRgZLY
