A gold plated and Cartier engraved Royal KMM typewriter. It was engraved with 1054 names by Warner MacDonald in 1939 at cost of $5,000. It was exhibited at the 1939 Worlds Fair and presented to the owner's grandfather in 1940. He was ultimately the president of the company. Antiques Roadshow appraised it at $30,000 - 40,000.
There are 2,257 parts in a Royal KMM.

Collaboration does three things solo work cannot match. It accelerates thinking, sharpening it in the friction between people, between perspectives, and increasingly between AI models. It distributes thinking, so discernment is not trapped in a single expert's head. And it lets an institution retain that thinking, holding onto what it learns instead of letting it slip away.
ROI of Collaboration includes not losing all of an individual's contributions when you lose an individual.
-
The answer is that generation was never the point; it was how you learned to discern. So here is what we are for: from day one, everyone needs what used to require a promotion: the discernment to define the problem, interrogate the output, and validate the result. Hold that against the two responses most institutions reach for, and both fall short:Reject AI, and train students and juniors to generate without it. This serves a fantasy. Many will use it anyway, only without guidance, standards, or accountability. Faculty turn to detectors that cannot reliably tell honest work from misconduct; companies block the apps and drive the behavior underground, where people paste sensitive data into consumer tools because no approved option exists.Embrace AI as a generator, and train juniors to produce faster with it, at the risk of mistaking fluency with prompts for fluency with thought8. They finish quicker, but never learn to judge whether the answer is sound or the problem well framed9, because they never build the internal mastery that judgment requires.Both fail for the same reason: each still casts the next generation as generators, the one role AI has largely taken. The work has inverted; how we develop people has to invert with it.Teaching that is what education was always for. In the spirit of a line often attributed to Plutarch, the mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be lit. That fire is what we call AI Readiness:Domain Expertise: the ability to know what to ask, what context matters, and how to interrogate the answer.AI Enablement: knowing when to use AI, when not to, and how to wield it.Human Excellence: critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Being human is the advantage, not the consolation prize.
We used to use Generation as the scaffolding to the destination of Discernment. Entry-level roles did Generation in order to learn Discernment. The application of Discernment was the reward that came with promotion. But now, Discernment is required from the start.
Edu responds either with the fantasy of rejecting AI, or the folly of embracing the generation of AI without Discernment. The former is a rapid path to irrelevance, the latter a slighly delayed path to obsolescense.
-
Artificial Intelligence (generation at speed and scale) does not replace Actual Intelligence, the human discernment that frames the problem and validates the answer. Put the two together and you get what neither produces alone — Collaborative Intelligence: human discernment amplified by generation at scale. Discernment is not a step you add at the end. It is the work.
Human Discernment + AI = Collaborative Intelligence
-
The failure already has a name: workslop, AI output polished enough to pass as finished4 but hollow enough that whoever receives it has to redo the work5. The pattern shows up at scale: a 2024 RAND analysis found that more than 80% of AI projects fail, roughly twice the rate of IT projects that do not involve AI, and traced the leading cause not to weak models but to organizations misframing the problem they set out to solve6.
AI projects fail bc organizations misframe the problem they set out to solve.
-
This shape has a name: the Lowrance Curve, after Colonel Chris Lowrance, the West Point professor who first framed the inversion this way. Trace it left to right: Define stands high on the near rim, the middle sinks toward the floor as AI makes that work all but free, and Validate rises again on the far rim — a valley where a hill used to be. The middle, Design and Create, is generation, what AI does at scale. The ends, Define and Validate, are discernment: framing the problem, then interrogating the answer, asking not just whether it passes but what it assumed and what it missed3. The discipline is easy to name and hard to keep: frame before you fall, and validate before you call it done.
Discernment defined: frame before you fall into Design + Create, and Validate before you call it done. AI is great at generation, the middle part of of the curve. And it's made that work inexpensive. Framing the problem and interrogating the answer for what AI got right as well as what it missed is high-value, human contribution.

The Modernaires<br /> by [[Contributors to Wikimedia projects]]<br /> accessed on 2026-06-29T13:24:12

Chuck Goldstein, was a members of The Modernaires singing group from the early/mid 30's until 1942. In 1940, they began singing with Glenn Miller and his orchestra. The day after Glenn disbanded the orchestra in 1942 (so he could join the Army), Chuck had left The Modernaires to pursue his own career. I believe around 1945 he formed a new singing group... That being Four Chicks and Chuck! They sung a few commercials, but they also did other songs. They sung with Kate Smith a decent amount. They weren't a long lasting group though, only going until around 1953. After that, Chuck formed Chuck Goldstein Productions, which focused on commercial jingles.

The misnamed Culpeper’s Rebellion (1677–79) isparticularly instructive. In a contest with Thomas Miller, an ambitioustrader and tobacco planter who wanted to crack down on smugglers, collectcustoms duties, and gain favor with proprietors, Thomas Culpeper, asurveyor, sided with the poorer settlers.
Note that Culpeper's Rebellion involved Thomas Culpeper organizing an informal militia to oust Thomas Miller, a petty tyrant with an armed guard.
There is obviously a class division at the root of this dispute.

formerly was a partof the mathematical program at the intermediate level, has now beendropped from that program, and hence is no longer included in thenew textbooks on elementary algebra. On the other hand, the curriculaat the more advanced levels (even in the mathematics divisions ofuniversities) also omit this theory.
Mike Miller relayed to me on 2022-09-27 on the first meeting of his class Theory and Applications of Continued Fractions that he met a professor colleague walking on campus who mistakenly thought that he was teaching an 8th grade class on basic fractions for the UCLA math department.

that although evil exists, people aren’t born evil. How they live their lives depends on what happens after they’re born
So very true. Monsters are made, not born. Everyone is born into the sacred, but then life can transform the sACred into the sCAred. Pathological fear can motivate a host of pathological responses such as selfishness, alienation, greed, anger, control, abuse, othering,dehumanization, etc.

Just as odd old women were once subject to accusations of witchery, so too are certain types of people now more likely to fall victim to modern mob justice.
Modern mob justice is not too dissimilar to the historical experience of the Salem witch trials.
How might one rewrite Arthur Miller's The Crucible within the framework of modern cancel culture? What does that look like? We need more art to reflect these changes in society to tell our story and get people thinking.

“Of course, we want to cut taxes. Who would ever want to pay more taxes? [It] seemed crazy to want to pay more taxes. You know, of course, you want to have a safe and secure community. Who wouldn’t want that?” Miller said. “You know, of course, we want to have a strong military. I just remember reading it and thinking this just makes a lot of sense.”
Now tell us how you do both of these things well? What do you think funds a safe and secure community and a strong military?

William De Grey
William de Grey served as Attorney General under William Pitt the Elder from 1766-1771. In 1770, he took part in the trial of Henry Sampson Woodfall for printing and publishing the Letters of Junius, which he claimed contained seditious libel. Woodfall went free on the declaration of a mistrial. John Miller, printer of the London Evening Post was declared not guilty. Only bookseller John Almon was declared guilty, though he appears not to have been punished.

Interesting understanding of the issue of pre-set links:
Nothing, however, prevents using the computer for quite conventional or traditional notions about the relation of a work to its author and to its historical and cultural contexts. ... The apparent freedom for the student to "browse" among various hypertext "links" may hide the imposition of predetermined connections. These may reinfornce powerful ideological assumptions about the causal force of historical context on literary works. It depends on what links have been set up or on the use's inventiveness in setting up new ones.
--Also quite interesting because it is pre-search engine.

Some of the claims for the revolutionary effect of computers on humanistic study have clearly been exaggerated or wrongly formulated. Seen from a certain point of viewm a computer, even one connected by modem or Ethernet to the Wolrd Wide Web, is, as many people would claim, no more than a glorified typewriter, though one should not underestimate the changes this glorification makes. An example is the new ease of revision, the facility with which things can be added, deleted, or moved from one place to another in a computer files as opposed to a typed manuscript. Such ease gradually encourages the adept in computer composition to think of what he or she writes as never being in quite finished form. Whatever is printed is alsways just one stage in a potentially endless process of revision, deletion, addition, and rearrangement.
