âBased on the available evidence, the skills that future graduates will most need in the AI eraâcreative thinking, the capacity to learn new things, flexible modes of analysisâare precisely those that are likely to be eroded by inserting AI into the educational process.â

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesnât claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
