If you don't read enough, you risk reinventing the wheel. If you read too much, you risk paralysis. The art of balancing learning and creation is delicate, especially today, when short-term success is so easily conflated with lasting impact.

This is the central problem with higher education in the age of AI. We can't require students to do take-home writing assignments (e.g. term papers) any more, because most will cheat and have ChatGPT or Claude or Grok do the writing. But we can't teach critical thinking,

Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

Would there be a way for big tech to "donate" the unused hours on their massive GPU clusters to open science and open-source AI developers? Could add up to significant amounts put to good use?
