Over the moon to say that I’ll be writing a weekly #NHL column for @offsidenewsco this season! The big picture drama and narratives of this sport are my happy place, so look forward to a lot of yapping about more than just the scores. Give it a read now ⬇️
"Overpaying now is a bargain down the road. Eight years is the difference between being a rookie and getting asked about your biological clock, after all. There’s no telling how high the salary cap will be then."

It isn’t as if cheating is new. But now, as one student put it, “the ceiling has been blown off.” Who could resist a tool that makes every assignment easier with seemingly no consequences? After spending the better part of the past two years grading AI-generated papers, Troy Jollimore, a poet, philosopher, and Cal State Chico ethics professor, has concerns. “Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate,” he said. “Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.” That future may arrive sooner than expected when you consider what a short window college really is. Already, roughly half of all undergrads have never experienced college without easy access to generative AI. “We’re talking about an entire generation of learning perhaps significantly undermined here,” said Green, the Santa Clara tech ethicist. “It’s short-circuiting the learning process, and it’s happening fast.”
“Massive #s of students are going to emerge... who are essentially illiterate. Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate + having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”
This isn't the only reason AI is bad, but it's why it is bad for students.
Sarah, a freshman at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, said she first used ChatGPT to cheat during the spring semester of her final year of high school. (Sarah’s name, like those of other current students in this article, has been changed for privacy.) After getting acquainted with the chatbot, Sarah used it for all her classes: Indigenous studies, law, English, and a “hippie farming class” called Green Industries. “My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.” Sarah continued to use AI when she started college this past fall. Why wouldn’t she? Rarely did she sit in class and not see other students’ laptops open to ChatGPT. Toward the end of the semester, she began to think she might be dependent on the website. She already considered herself addicted to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Reddit, where she writes under the username maybeimnotsmart. “I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.”

At this point, every new headline about the administration just makes me go, “Sure! Why not?” Cutting CDC programs? Sure. Creating an Orwellian list of citizens’ medical data? Sure. Getting involved in Latin American politics again? Sure! Like what am I gonna do? Get scared? That’s what they want.

Could be any number of reasons though, even just the way the Crown presented their statements.
My guess - and I have no legal background - is that complications arose with the jury’s ability to reach a fair verdict. A juror probably spoke with the judge at lunch and said they wouldn’t be able to remain objective after hearing the details of the case.
According to Rick Westhead, a media consortium is challenging the publication ban. Judge Carroccia ended court early on Wednesday and only made this statement.
