"The takeaway from this study is that if you give adults an entirely inauthentic task and access to ChatGPT, they’ll let the robot do the work and save their energy for something else." We should study the best uses of AI in learning, not the worst. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

This is really fascinating to me because of the connections we've also found in my research between worse outcomes for software teams and contest cultures/competition mental models for software/zero sum thinking in domain specific ways for technological skills
Stefanie Stantcheva@s-stantcheva.bsky.social · last yr."To understand America today, study the zero-sum mindset."

Private equity firms are modern Gilded Age holding companies for the wealthy to centralize their control over our lives. We really seem to be at the threshold of a social and economic crisis unless these financial vehicles for domination are stopped. www.vox.com/health-care/...
The profit-obsessed monster destroying American emergency rooms
Private equity decimated emergency care in the United States — without you even noticing.

"The Gilded Age of medicine" is exactly right. These modern-day robber-barons are looting our health care system, and patients are paying with their lives. We need answers and accountability. We need to pass my Health Over Wealth Act.
In anthropology, we often refer to this impetus as "the Tyranny of Taxonomy." By virtue of forcing various phenomena into categories that can be quantified, you create the illusion that such categories are "real." Rather than methods through which to think about similarities and differences.
