Three years into the AI era, educators say they face a major crisis. Bosses and clients replacing tutoring jobs with AI. Replacing *athletic coaching* with AI. Many students now cannot grasp why they would *not* use AI for schoolwork. And worse. The 5th installment of AI Killed My Jobâeducators:

The defining lesson of this first year of Trump authoritarianism is that kowtowing & capitulating yields zero permanent benefit and only emboldens the admin to come after you more. This critical lesson was first documented in the landmark political science treatise âIf You Give a Mouse a Cookie.â

Iâve seen a lot of assumptions in the media that Trump (and Musk) are targeting institutions with loyalty tests. But thatâs not quite right. Theyâre using dominance tests. And the difference between these two things matter. đ§”

Living in London years ago I noticed whenever a politician said "the UK economy" they meant the auto industry. Meanwhile what the world actually admires about Britain are its music, literature, films, universities. And they keep actively destroying those sectors!
