Disturbing Stanford study finds climate change has reduced global wheat yields about 10%. The world now uses 550M acres to grow wheat, which suggests a swath of nature about the size of Kansas has been cleared to compensate for climate-driven yield losses.

Teachers didn't know which essays used AI, but they could feel something was wrong. "Soulless." "Empty with regard to content." "Close to perfect language while failing to give personal insights." The human brain can detect cognitive debt even when it can't name it.
