Basically, anybody interviewed by someone from a newspaper or media chain, will have to expect the entire non-edited interview will be gobbled up by their AI for future use, unless strict conditions are first set.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

@sarahquinn.bsky.social and I have been working with academics, grad students and others (including my own kids) who are slamming into this vacuum and it is terrifying how many professions are collapsing

I cannot really explain to someone who hasn't been steeped in this stuff for awhile how sudden and total the "go to college and get a good job" edict has collapsed. It's a vaccuum. And we know how nature feels about those. All we are throwing in there at the moment is A.I.

With the rise of LLMs I decided that my theory class should use multiple choice tests and not just papers. Students could bring a page of notes. Anyway, that's how I learned that most my undergrads didn't know how to properly fill out a scantron and many had never put together a cheat sheet.

I let my Intro Soc students bring a page of notes into their exams. They keep thinking they’ll need to turn them in. Does anyone collect notes pages with exams? If so, why? (PSA: The exams are primarily about understanding. When I piloted this a few years ago, the grade distribution didn’t change.)

I’ve lost track of the number of times an immigrant has told me they had to sit on a prison bus in the back of an airport for six, 10, 20 hours with no food or water and being told to urinate in a corner or onto themselves.

A screenshot of a White House tweet styled after The Magic School Bus cartoon but this one says “The Magic Deportation Bus” and shows shackled brown men in the back. The White House account says “Please let this be a normal field trip…” One put gray text over the whole thing that says “FASCIST PROPAGANDA.”

How did Sociology become the hate piñata of Concerned Pundits on the education beat? The past month saw calls in the press for the discipline to be "liquidated" bc it's a "scam." My theory: it's bc we expose the harms of inequality. Me in today's @economist.com:🎁 www.economist.com/by-invitatio...

Why is sociology the hate-piñata of the social sciences?

Accusations that it is thinly disguised socialism are wide of the mark, writes Brooke Harrington
