I've long wanted to read a book on how Chinese spies are cultivated and trained. It'd probably make a good limited series, too.

Interesting to see Dartmouth’s #2 ousted for use of AI in penning a @wapo OpEd
We are going to have to have some serious discussions about how to formalize a line between acceptable and not for an institution
The data shows that MOST peer reviewed publications from academics now make use of AI
Perhaps the extreme level of response (from being Provost to no longer employed) was bc of the irony that the WaPo article he wrote using AI is actually about the responsible use of AI on college campuses….
I don’t know.
But I do know that the use of AI in writing is not going away. Not by professors and certainly not by students as they grow into professionals.
Something to ponder anyway…

21 years ago I named "Reddit" and everyone said it was a horrible name, but I insisted one day people would say "I read it on reddit" and used my CEO-privilege to overrule everyone + kept the name. Now the company twitter account (unbeknownst to them) is making the joke. Heh.
When I explain it to friends outside of NYC, my own words are almost hard (for me) to believe.

“One of Barnes & Noble’s pandemic best-sellers had been “Middlemarch,” bought largely by people younger than forty-five.”

I spent a year working the apps for DoorDash, Uber, Amazon and more; saw disturbing things; brought people single cookies; probably delivered drugs; smashed up my nose; met people who made insane journeys to get you pad thai; wondered what we’re doing here simonandschuster.com/books/D…
