Crypto scams quickly became a topic impossible to ignore. From SIM swaps and fishing attacks to laundering via token bridges, scams are getting faster, smarter, and more dangerous than ever. I would say what we see right now is very different from uh what we observed like several years ago.There are three forces that are supercharging scams right now.

Is AI making us dumber? Maybe. | Charlie Gedeon | TEDxSherbrooke Street West
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-04 17:01
AI in Education: Core Concerns - The core issue is not AI's ability to personalize learning, but its highlighting of systemic failures in education incentives [1] - Educational systems overemphasize grades (A+) rather than the learning process, discouraging effort and deeper engagement [2] - Unregulated AI tools are readily available to students, especially during crucial periods like finals, posing risks [3] - The pursuit of "perfect" education through AI-driven personalization may not be ideal, as real-world problem-solving requires navigating imperfections [5][6] - There's a lack of focus on what students are meant to learn *with* AI, rather than simply making it easier to get good grades [6] AI's Impact on Cognitive Processes - Students may rely on AI (like ChatGPT) without critical evaluation, similar to blindly trusting the first Google result [10][11] - Cognitive offloading, where individuals relinquish cognitive effort to machines, is a significant concern [17] - User experience (UX) dark patterns in AI can manipulate users, encouraging prolonged engagement and potentially harmful advice [19][21][22] - Professionals using AI may experience reduced cognitive effort in knowledge work, comprehension, assessment, and analysis [24][25] - The risk of AI becoming an "autopilot" leads to intellectual deskilling and atrophy of critical thinking [25] Potential Solutions & Future Directions - Productive resistance, or the right amount of AI assistance, needs to be determined to encourage cognitive engagement [27][28] - AIs' training data is not transparent, making it difficult to understand how they work and implement effective resistance [28] - Solutions require a balance between individual responsibility (understanding AI's limitations, verifying information) and systemic changes (government regulation, educational reforms) [29][30][31][32][33]

The Power and Importance of Theater - Theater is a human instinct and a powerful tool for understanding the world [2][4][8][29] - Theater provides a safe space for experimentation with identity, relationships, and behaviors, especially for young people [16][17][18] - Theater education can be transformative, fostering mental health, social skills, and personal growth [15][25][27][28] The Economic Impact of Theater - For every $1 spent on the arts, $10 are spent downstream, boosting the economy [10] - The creative sector accounts for 77% of California's economy [11] - California's arts sector generates $260 billion and supports 800000 jobs [11] - Every 100 jobs in the arts support 180 jobs in other sectors [11] Accessibility and the Future of Theater - Theater should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay [12] - Live, three-dimensional theater will endure even as other forms of storytelling evolve [3] - Engagement with the arts has significant benefits for brain development in two-year-olds, workplace well-being, and quality of life at the end of life [9]
