a fine kevin doyle as "mr. moseley the hidden script writer"
it took 6 seasons and 2 movies to showcase doyle's finest. this scene was exceptional.

letters section on generative ai
great letter response to the june 27th piece "don't dumb down". generative ai is going to drive academia to become more rigorous than ever before. there simply isn't any other choice otherwise you become a "credential mill". love the highlights.

online publishers accountability on ai slop
went into a bit of a rabbithole after seeing slate’s upcoming podcast on steve witkoff.. wanted to know more about him and ran a search for his biography. came back with results to a writer by the name of "daniel lohr" waterstones.com/author/… who has multiple publications within the a short period of time (all within 2025). some digging later and it turns out to be ai writing generated to meet trending topics.
an unprecedented rate of ai slop is now being published by online distributors. alongside with real content, its definitely harder for anyone to differentiate what is real work unless you're doing your due diligence. the fact that online distributors like amazon protect your identity (as long as you provide valid banking details), you can publish anonymously and/or under a different pen name. very scary times.
