The Weekend Intelligence: We don’t need no (AI) education

In lecture halls and seminar rooms across America, a quiet revolution is underway. Students are using AI to write essays, solve problems, and even make daily decisions, while professors scramble to detect cheating with invisible traps. The Economist’s former AI reporter, Abby Bertics, reports from campus about an education system in crisis, and asks what the future might look like as students begin to tap into a tool that can think quicker, write faster and teach better than many of their instructors.

Life on Mars: how promising are the latest findings?

Scientists at NASA recently announced that they had found “the clearest sign of life” that has ever been discovered on Mars. The “potential biosignature” of ancient microbial life was found in a Martian rock sample. But to find out if it really is a sign of life, the sample needs to be brought back to Earth for further study—a task far more complicated than you might expect. Host: Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor. Guests: Katie Stack Morgan of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory; Sanjeev Gupta of Imperial College London; and The Economist’s Oliver Morton.

Bring Jon Fasman back

Checks and Balances isn’t what it once was without Jon Fasman. Idriss’ smug attitude is unwelcome. I missed Jon Fasman as soon as he left, but especially since Elon took over the treasury payment systems three weeks ago, Idriss didn’t indicate that his pulse was elevated in the slightest. As we endure a power grab in America and are losing what’s best about our values as a nation, we need Jon Fasman back with us.

I could not believe my ears when I heard the hagiographic nonsense obituary they posted for Jimmy Swaggart, a religious fundamentalist and ideologue of the worst type. You would have thought that the woman who was reading this was speaking about Mother Teresa or someone who at least tried to help a fellow human being. This guy was as horrible of a hypocrite as they come and like Trump, not worthy of the second thought After he leaves the planet
