A grand tour through the essays of Lewis H. Lapham

In his introductory essay for the inaugural issue of Lapham’s Quarterly, Lewis wrote (as he often had before) about his “risk-assessment model wired to the sound of the human voice.” If he read a piece without being able to hear its author speak—from whatever time, place, genre, species, leaning, or dimension—it wasn’t much of anything to him at all. To be mentored by him was to be tuned to this frequency. Which I’m grateful for, because while missing him since his passing a year ago I’ve been a

ChatGPT Study Mode Aims to Circumvent the Brain Atrophy Problem With AI in Education

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-26 21:00:03

ChatGPT Study Mode is a new function within the artificial intelligence chatbot that aims to give students a more natural learning experience rather than simply answering questions for them, the company announced Tuesday. Whereas typing in a question or topic into ChatGPT returns a textbook-style summary, Study Mode works with students, step by step, to help them come to the correct answer on their own. Students can chat with ChatGPT to gain better clarification on things they don't understand,

ChatGPT’s new Study Mode is designed to help you learn, not just give answers

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-26 22:00:34

The rise of large language models like ChatGPT has led to widespread concern that "everyone is cheating their way through college," as a recent New York magazine article memorably put it. Now, OpenAI is rolling out a new "Study Mode" that it claims is less about providing answers or doing the work for students and more about helping them "build [a] deep understanding" of complex topics. Study Mode isn't a new ChatGPT model but a series of "custom system instructions" written for the LLM "in col

2025 Polestar 3 drives sporty, looks sharp, can be a little annoying

Earlier this month, Ars took a look at Volvo’s latest electric vehicle. The EX90 proved to be a rather thoughtful Swedish take on the luxury SUV, albeit one that remains a rare sight on the road. But the EX90 is not the only recipe one can cook with the underlying ingredients.

OpenAI announced Tuesday the launch of Study Mode, a new feature within ChatGPT that aims to help students develop their own critical thinking skills, rather than simply obtain answers to questions.

Bitchat, a messaging app created by Twitter and Block founder Jack Dorsey, is available to download from the iOS App Store. Dorsey says he coded the basis of the app over the course of a weekend in early July. Bitchat operates through Bluetooth mesh networks, which means that users can send messages to others within the range of Bluetooth connectivity — usually around 100 meters — without cell reception or a Wi-Fi connection.
