“Now imagine if an AI tutor could “sit” next to students as they navigate the internet in general. Imagine if it were a browser plug-in. The same way that AI might help students better engage with online exercises or videos, it might also help them when they are browsing Wikipedia, YouTube, or the New York Times website. It might reformulate the news article they are reading closer to their grade level, potentially leaving out age-inappropriate details. While students are researching a paper, it might help zero in on material that actually addresses the issue they are investigating. It might also Socratically help a student engage with what they are reading or even provide context that the student needs to better understand the content.”

― Leila Mottley, The Girls Who Grew Big

“You should not confuse your career with your life. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. Your friends love you anyway. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.”

“If I'm being honest with you, white people don't have to change; they will be fine without doing so. But white people should change, because just being fine shouldn't be good enough.”
