A Harvard student told me something I can't stop thinking about. When they go to the library, every single screen has ChatGPT open. Homework that used to take hours now takes minutes.

But then they talk to alums who say entry-level roles are basically gone. The jobs they planned their entire college trajectory around don't exist anymore.

AI made homework easier but made proving you deserve a job exponentially harder.

“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.

@historyinmemes Perhaps more properly “9 Kings of Europe” rather than “THE 9 Kings”, given some European kings of the time are missing?

[Thomas Greckhamer @tgreckhamer]

@simongerman600 Just curious: Why are natural gas/fossile fuels other than coal and hydropower missing here?

[Michael de Adder @deAdder]

I sent this in and got the call. My last cartoon, I think, in the Chronicle Herald. It's not published yet.

I think this is the best take yet on this issue 👇

Frage: Warum beschreiben sie Frau Kolm als "Wirtschaftsprofessorin"? Weil sie an einer Universitaet (U. Donja Gorica in Montenegro) eine "Professorenstelle" gelistet hat (auf linkedin; in einigen online profilen beschreibt sie sich als "Associate Professor" an jener Uni?)

@simongerman600 This is a nice one.
It placed me within less then 50 km of where I grew up.

@bmay Thank you for sharing this; I would find it very helpful if in posts like this the more specific location could be added. E.g., in this post, where in Austria did this happen? Thank you!

[Thomas Greckhamer @tgreckhamer]

@_snrub @simongerman600 @RankingRoyals Sorry but the current Austrian flag predates the 2nd republic. The Austrian flag was in use as early as 1230 and was officially adapted in 1786 as the Austrian flag (https://t.co/1deKOrWRbU).

[Thomas Greckhamer @tgreckhamer]

@allinwithchris @RepRaskin @AOC This should be a slam dunk, as we have rules like this for public employees, school teachers, etc. and it makes zero sense that those public servants who may be especially vulnerable to being influenced or 'bribed' with tremendous consequences for society would be exempt.
