An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper:

None of this is a game. Living, breathing human beings are dying and being terrorized. If you literally watch this and imagine itāll help create a āblue waveā or whatever the hell, you need to log off and turn off cable news. Weāre in an actual crisis. Lock the ever living fuck in.

If you are, in any way, watching growing fascism and the brutalizing of people and destruction of their rights and lives as ābeneficialā for the next election, not only have you lost the plot, you need to get help.

no patience for anyone that uses AI, and zero love for someone that uses āoh well I donāt have a Writing Educationā as an excuse. I have zero education, I worked with glass until I was in my mid 30s and I can write. you have to be willing to work, to try , and to fail by your own hand.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Please note most federal grants *required* information on how the grants would benefit underserved or understudied groups. If you applied for a grant, you *had to* include something that would speak to diversity and equity.

When I was 5 I took ballet lessons in the basement of a mall & one evening someone bought a lizard at the pet store & threw it at all of us tiny ballerinas & my mother let me bring the lizard home, I named it Dino. Anyway, this also happened in suburban Minneapolis.

Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.

When you support indie booksellers and bookstores, you are supporting human curation, the exercise of judgment and taste, the storefronts that make cities interesting. You make it possible for writers and readers outside the mainstream to be found again. You support real people who love literature.
