Business Insider: The universities already offering AI degrees, from Penn to Rice University. “Universities are evolving their offerings in the age of artificial intelligence.

>>...apparently, I had really triggered somebody that was sort of a powerful person in the university. And that evening, I was let go, and so was my whole team...<<
My guess is that the "sort of powerful person in the university" is none other than Joe Lonsdale himself.

"The way this technology works means that generative AI applied to anything is a form of slopification, of turning things into slop. However, where AI is undoubtedly successful is as a shock doctrine, as a way to further precaritise workers and privatise services."

Chris Capper Liebenthal reveals alarming budget cuts in Wisconsin, with GOP lawmakers proposing an $87 million reduction for the University of Wisconsin system. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos champions these cuts, branding them as necessary reforms against a "broken process" benefiting political correctness over diverse education.

My daughter just came up with a great exercise: challenge your students to find the title of your PhD using ONLY LLMs (no Google allowed). If any of them manage, they get gummy bears 😃
