2+ min ago (484+ words) Image from Instagram @amherstqrc Amherst College required incoming freshmen to sit through a graphic, sexually explicit performance during orientation inside the school's historic chapel, the Washington Free Beacon reported Friday. The mandatory show featured student actors mimicking oral sex, masturbation, group sex, drug use, and other depictions of explicit behavior at Johnson Chapel, which Amherst calls its "most important building," footage obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows. Students told the outlet the performance is just one part of a broader slate of school-sanctioned sex-themed programming on campus. Known as "Voices of the Class," the scripted event uses excerpts of new student admission essays to craft the performance, which is reviewed and approved by Amherst staff. The program stands in stark contrast to Amherst's original mission as an institution founded to educate young men for Christian ministry. (RELATED: Second Professor…...

13+ min ago (541+ words) Founders and AI startups in Silicon Valley are valuing degrees less and are seeking out candidates who can work quickly, adapt and build AI models. Fei-Fei Li, a Stanford professor and CEO of the AI startup World Labs, is known as the "Godmother of AI" for her work building a large-scale database of labeled images, which changed the way computers comprehend digital images and videos. Li, also the founding co-director of Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute, said she values candidates' experience and relationship with AI tools more than their educational background.

14+ min ago (1328+ words) When students in Catherine Hartmann's honors seminar at the University of Wyoming took their final exams this month, they encountered a testing method as old as the ancient philosophers whose ideas they were studying. For 30 minutes, each student sat opposite Hartmann in her office. Hartmann asked probing questions. The student answered. Hartmann, a religious studies professor who started using oral examinations last year, is not alone in turning to a decidedly old-fashioned way to grade student performance. Across the country, a small but growing number of educators are experimenting with oral exams to circumvent the temptations presented by powerful artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT. Such tools can be used to cheat on take-home exams or essays and to complete all manner of assignments, part of a broader phenomenon known as "cognitive off-loading." Hartmann tells her students that using AI…...

18+ min ago (683+ words) Sarah Pine's college experience at the University of Pittsburgh was typical, until it wasn't. From Savannah, Ga., Pine came to Oakland in fall 2022 to pursue writing, seeking a different atmosphere than the south. "I went in with all these positive thoughts and ideas, ready to conquer the college experience," Pine said. But it was in her second semester of her freshman year that things started to take a turn for the worse. Pine, now 21 and living in Shadyside, recalled feeling unwell and itchy during that time. "That was all very confusing, especially as an 18-year-old away from home for the first time," she said. During finals week of her freshman year, an ultrasound showed a mass in her liver. "I was told that it could be cancer, or it could be benign," she said. Pine was diagnosed with Fibrolamella Hepatocellular…...
