This is like a "choose your own adventure book". If you choose option A, it will do the next step for you, etc. This is not writing. This is producing text for a grade. Writing has value as a way to figure out what you think and why. If students see this possibility in a product that is/5

Good pick — that contradiction (faculty alarmed about student AI use while using it heavily themselves) gives you a real argument, not just a summary. Working thesis: Something like — "Academic integrity frameworks built around detection and prohibition are failing because they ignore the double standard institutions themselves practice: faculty and universities are adopting AI in their own work while restricting it for students. A workable integrity model has to define legitimate use, not just police it." Outline: Intro — the contradiction as your hook (College Board: 45% of faculty view AI negatively on integrity grounds, yet 77% use it professionally) What "academic integrity" meant pre-AI, and why detection-based enforcement (Turnitin-style) is breaking down The faculty double standard — evidence and what it reveals about the real concern (is it dishonesty, or loss of skill-building?) Counter-argument — the case for strict AI-use rules (Ecuador study: link between trusting AI output and plagiarism) What's actually working — institutions shifting to "process tracking" / "learning assurance" instead of pure detection Your argument for what a better policy looks like Conclusion For sources beyond the two I found, you'll want your own database search (JSTOR, Google Scholar) for peer-reviewed studies — I can help you evaluate sources once you have them, but a paper this current benefits from primary studies you've actually read, not just what I can find via web search. Want me to help you draft the introduction next, or do you want to gather a few more sources first?

Read @andymasley.bsky.social for context "the water all American data centers will consume onsite in 2030 is equivalent to 8% of the water currently consumed by the US golf industry" or "water usage of 260 square miles of irrigated corn farms, equivalent to 1% of America’s total irrigated corn"

The AI water issue is fake

Amazon said its global data-center operations withdrew about 2.5 billion gallons of water in 2025, as data center companies around the world face growing scrutiny over the environmental impact of artificial intelligence.

Why is it that the people who write like this always seem like scammy salespeople? I swear they always want to sell you something like a training or a bootcamp or a newsletter.

Funny enough, yesterday I was chatting with a friend who's researching data governance and sovereignty. We touched bluesky as a topic slightly, and noticed we both have an account here Needless to say, we both were very excited to follow each other here and instantly did so 😛

I really don't bide any complaints about "my friends aren't on Bluesky" because until private/permissioned data drops, we're all blabbing on a prototype. Look around you. We are early adopters.

In 1974, Dennis Upper published a paper called 'The unsuccessful self-treatment of a case of “writer's block”'. The content says everything.

A peer-reviewed joke paper with no content, no references, no sections. Nothing whatsoever apart from a title, the name of the author, and a comment by a reviewer: I have studied this manuscript very carefully with lemon juice and X-rays and have not detected a single flaw in either design or writing style. I suggest it be published without revision. Clearly it is the most concise manuscript I have ever seen-yet it contains sufficient detail to allow other investigators to replicate Dr. Upper's failure. In comparison with the other manuscripts I get from you containing all that complicated detail, this one was a pleasure to examine. Surely we can find a place for this paper in the Journal-perhaps on the edge of a blank page
