The combination of high costs and a winner-takes-all economy had already made it feel transactional, a means to an end. (In a recent survey, Deloitte found that just over half of college graduates believe their education was worth the tens of thousands of dollars it costs a year, compared with 76 percent of trade-school graduates.) In a way, the speed and ease with which AI proved itself able to do college-level work simply exposed the rot at the core. “How can we expect them to grasp what education means when we, as educators, haven’t begun to undo the years of cognitive and spiritual damage inflicted by a society that treats schooling as a means to a high-paying job, maybe some social status, but nothing more?” Jollimore wrote in a recent essay. “Or, worse, to see it as bearing no value at all, as if it were a kind of confidence trick, an elaborate sham?” > “Language is the mother, not the handmaiden, of thought,” wrote Duke professor Orin Starn in a recent column titled “My Losing Battle Against AI Cheating,” citing a quote often attributed to W. H. Auden. But it’s not just writing that develops critical thinking. “Learning math is working on your ability to systematically go through a process to solve a problem. Even if you’re not going to use algebra or trigonometry or calculus in your career, you’re going to use those skills to keep track of what’s up and what’s down when things don’t make sense,” said Michael Johnson, an associate provost at Texas A&M University. Adolescents benefit from structured adversity, whether it’s algebra or chores. They build self-esteem and work ethic. It’s why the social psychologist Jonathan Haidt has argued for the importance of children learning to do hard things, something that technology is making infinitely easier to avoid. Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, has tended to brush off concerns about AI use in academia as shortsighted, describing ChatGPT as merely “a calculator for words” and saying the definition of cheating needs to evolve. “Writing a paper the old-fashioned way is not going to be the thing,” Altman, a Stanford dropout, said last year. But speaking before the Senate’s oversight committee on technology in 2023, he confessed his own reservations: “I worry that as the models get better and better, the users can have sort of less and less of their own discriminating process.”]]> tech education https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:19599b971246/ 2025-05-05T20:33:05+00:00 https://spencerchang.substack.com/p/believing-in-believing-in-people nathanwentworth good society https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:d77e22c8f5a9/ 2025-05-05T13:19:05+00:00 https://www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2025/04/the-west-is-bored-to-death nathanwentworth politics culture https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:f04128e190c0/ 2025-05-04T19:55:12+00:00 https://usesthis.com/interviews/mario.von.rickenbach/ nathanwentworth tech https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:51e2d43978a7/ 2025-04-18T23:25:45+00:00 https://www.wrecka.ge/against-the-dark-forest/ nathanwentworth internet culture https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:90dfc10856fa/ 2025-04-17T02:06:50+00:00 https://wickedlyethan.com/blog/2025/04/revenge-of-the-dumbphone/ nathanwentworth tech https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:e7adf025c17e/ 2025-04-16T22:14:06+00:00 https://www.tumblr.com/cali/700487997557211136/post-atheist-youtubers-are-overdosing-on-deep nathanwentworth tumblr https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:e4dd9869f39e/ 2025-04-08T01:38:07+00:00 https://gist.github.com/kolber/2131643 nathanwentworth internet tech https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:746a977b7913/ 2025-03-23T15:48:01+00:00 https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/09/23/the-art-of-taking-it-slow nathanwentworth These days, some mainstream bikes incorporate electronics requiring batteries and firmware: shifters that change gears at the press of a button, or power meters that collect data on a rider’s output. “So many basic things are being teched out of existence,” Petersen said. He saw this as a function of business incentives: electronics break or need replacement; an upgrade is always around the corner. Petersen’s objections are practical but also philosophical. As bikes become higher-tech, riders lose skills and agency. “A lot of sports have been watered down,” Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, told me. “People are bicycling, but they have a motor. And people are climbing, but they’re climbing indoors. They’re riding big waves, but they’re being pulled in by Jet Skis. Yet there are a few people that are bucking the trend.” > Rivendell’s employees object to descriptions of the company’s following as cultlike. “The other stuff is the cult,” Keating told me. “Putting the suit on, and going as fast as possible, and using the bars like this”—we were sitting at a table, and he hunched over his coffee cup, as if to protect it. “That’s the culty stuff, right? We’re just making nice bikes for regular people.” > About halfway through the ride, I came to a fork in the road. I didn’t know which path the others had taken, and I stood for a while, appreciating the shade of the oak trees, the quiet, the bandanna crisping around my neck. I tried to channel an essay of Petersen’s, written in 2002, on what he calls “underbiking”: taking a bike somewhere it isn’t obviously built to go. “Riding an UB changes how you look at any terrain,” he wrote. “You ride where it lets you ride, walk when it wants you to, and rely more on your growing skills than on the latest technology.” This struck me as a harmonic way of moving through the world > We dismounted in the parking lot. The sun returned to being unforgiving. I had no idea what time it was or how long we’d been out. I wanted to do the whole thing again. I looked at my phone: texts from the babysitter, calendar alerts, a moldering heap of e-mails. “Don’t you just feel like a kid again?” Leto asked, as he and Petersen began disassembling the bikes and loading them into the car. I knew what he meant. But I felt, instead, a very adult sense of longing—as if I had just glimpsed, at a deeply inconvenient time, a new and appealing way to live. > There was something romantic about the Rivendells. They made the other bikes on the road look mean.]]> bikes https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:f75be01d0a09/ 2025-03-17T18:01:54+00:00 https://libertyclub.eu/a-conversation-with-takagi-masakatsu/ nathanwentworth music interview https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:5fe7dfa3f374/ 2025-02-27T02:38:37+00:00 https://media-events.ghost.io/kendrick-lamar-is-the-rap-main-character-america-deserves/ nathanwentworth music https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:a0fbd0a2fb27/ 2025-02-20T03:07:29+00:00 https://msx.horse/blog.php?b=blog%2F2025_02_19.nfo nathanwentworth tech https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:bf16453f9fcd/ 2025-01-26T21:28:27+00:00 https://remove.codes/01-dynamic-wallpaper nathanwentworth `pbpaste > light_mode.xmp` `exiv2 -i X in light_mode.png` `heif-enc -L light_mode.png dark_mode.png -o dynamic.heic`]]> tech computers utility reference https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:nathanwentworth/b:9fd81d896964/ 2024-12-05T18:32:20+00:00 https://www.vulture.com/article/willem-dafoe-in-conversation.html nathanwentworth No. When you say realism, I think of naturalism, and I think about natural acting. And when I think about natural acting, I think about natural behavior. And I think sometimes that destroys movies, you know? Because we don’t just want to see imitations of life. We want to see something that is beyond that. Cinema is not just about telling stories. Everybody clings to this. Telling stories, telling stories, telling stories! It’s about light. It’s about space. It’s about tone. It’s about color. It’s about people having experiences in front of you, where, if it’s transparent enough, they can experience it with you. You become them. They become you. That’s the communion. That’s the experience. Wow. You’ve just summarized my entire philosophy of what cinema is. I don’t really care much about plot. > I don’t either! But we’re all different. My wife is always going, “Don’t tell me what happens.” I couldn’t care less. Tell me the whole story! When I watch it, I’m going to forget about where it goes anyway.
