Rethinking is thinking.
That’s my motto as the summer semester starts (orientations today). There will be a million more of these articles:

The brilliant, prolific, and combative political cartoonist Ted Rall has been spreading warnings about the ways AI can and will rob artists of rights to – and earnings from – their work. This week: As a cartoonist of the early … Continue reading
