  1. Mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00ading Porn<\/a> (Matthew Lof\u00adtus, Mere Ortho\u00addoxy): \u201cThere are many ways in which peo\u00adple mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand porn, but per\u00adhaps the best way to sum\u00adma\u00adrize the cor\u00adrec\u00adtions nec\u00ades\u00adsary is to say that porn is not the same as phys\u00adi\u00adcal sex and porn addic\u00adtion is not mere\u00adly a mat\u00adter of sex\u00adu\u00adal temp\u00adta\u00adtion.\u2026 <\/em>Why can\u2019t a porn addict\u2019s habit be bro\u00adken by sex with his wife? The sim\u00adplest answer is to ask anoth\u00ader ques\u00adtion: could a Chris\u00adt\u00adian husband\u2019s temp\u00adta\u00adtion to idol\u00ada\u00adtry be bro\u00adken by sex with his wife? Of course not. Nei\u00adther would his anger or pride. It is like ask\u00ading if a per\u00adson addict\u00aded to cocaine could have their desire sat\u00adis\u00adfied by eat\u00ading a deli\u00adcious steak.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adtion Nation<\/a> (Rose Horow\u00aditch, The Atlantic): \u201cOver the past decade and a half, how\u00adev\u00ader, the share of stu\u00addents at selec\u00adtive uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adties who qual\u00adi\u00adfy for accommodations\u2014often, extra time on tests\u2014has grown at a breath\u00adtak\u00ading pace. At the Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of Chica\u00adgo, the num\u00adber has more than tripled over the past eight years; at UC Berke\u00adley, it has near\u00adly quin\u00adtu\u00adpled over the past 15 years.\u2026 Paul Gra\u00adham Fish\u00ader, a Stan\u00adford pro\u00adfes\u00adsor who served as co-chair of the university\u2019s dis\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty task force, told me, \u2018I have had con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtions with peo\u00adple in the Stan\u00adford admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion. They\u2019ve talked about at what point can we say no?<\/em> What if it hits 50 or 60 per\u00adcent? At what point do you just say \u2018We can\u2019t do this\u2019?\u2019 This year, 38 per\u00adcent of Stan\u00adford under\u00adgrad\u00adu\u00adates are reg\u00adis\u00adtered as hav\u00ading a dis\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty; in the fall quar\u00adter, 24 per\u00adcent of under\u00adgrad\u00adu\u00adates were receiv\u00ading aca\u00add\u00ade\u00adm\u00adic or hous\u00ading accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adtions.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. I Set A Trap To Catch Stu\u00addents Cheat\u00ading With AI. The Result Was Deflat\u00ading<\/a> (Will Teague, Huff\u00adin\u00adg\u00adton Post): \u201cI received 122 paper sub\u00admis\u00adsions. Of those, the Tro\u00adjan horse eas\u00adi\u00adly iden\u00adti\u00adfied 33 AI-gen\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded papers. I sent these stats to all the stu\u00addents and gave them the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to admit to using AI before they were locked into fail\u00ading the class. Anoth\u00ader 14 out\u00aded them\u00adselves. In oth\u00ader words, near\u00adly 39% of the sub\u00admis\u00adsions were at least par\u00adtial\u00adly writ\u00adten by AI.\u2026 Let me tell you why the Tro\u00adjan horse worked. It is because stu\u00addents do not know what they do not know.\u201d\n
