"Help! We degraded education into pointless box checking, and now the students have figured out how to make the boxes check themselves!”

Conservatives need to understand this.

AI is already ruining higher education. It's already been far more disruptive, toxic, and demotivating than wokeness & DEI ever were.

Academics can't assign homework, take-home problem sets, or term papers -- too many students will use AI to cheat.

We can't give assignments or run assessments in online courses -- too many students will use AI to cheat.

We can't be sure what percent of any honors thesis, masters thesis, or dissertation is really the student's own work. Likewise for grant applications, grad school applications, and journal papers.

Even worse, after AI-enabled 'smart glasses' with cameras and microphones become common and inconspicuous, we won't even be able to run in-class quizzes, tests, or discussions without worrying that students are secretly using their AIs to feed them answers and prompt their discussion questions.

Wokeness was a serious threat to the intellectual integrity and viewpoint diversity of universities.

But AI is a serious threat to the entire academic enterprise.

If you're a conservative and you care at all about classic education and the Western canon, you need to wake up to the real threat here -- students offloading all reading, writing, learning, and skill development to AIs.

People are excited about Ralph Wiggum, but @blocks and @jack quietly released what I'm dubbing Principal Skinner, an adversarial feedback loop to better ensure complex task success.

"Adversarial Cooperation In Code Synthesis"

>This paper introduces dialectical autocoding: a novel approach to AI-assisted software development that transcends the limitations of current vibe coding tools through a structured coach-player feedback loop. By implementing a bounded, adversarial process between two cooperating agents, we demonstrate how intelligent AI programs can make substantially more progress on complex coding tasks, resulting in better tested, more robust implementations, while working around fundamental attention and human-in-the-loop limitations.
