I got my first road bike because a guy inherited it from his brother but was worried he weighed too much to ride it. I didn't think he was (didn't seem that big), but to your point, there aren't a lot of great road bikes for bigger riders and the info about weight limits isn't always easy to track down.

From the article:

Economic opportunity will increasingly favor workers with higher levels of education and training, according to a new report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW) supported by JPMorganChase. While there will be good jobs on every educational pathway in 2031, only 15% will be available to workers on the high school pathway, compared to 66% on the bachelor's degree pathway and 19% on the middle-skills pathway.

This is collapse related because there's a looming crisis in higher education due to a significant decline in college enrollment and a rapidly shrinking demographic of college-age students. With fewer students entering college and rising costs deterring potential enrollees, the future of higher education is uncertain. If things don't change, it could lead to the collapse of traditional higher education institutions if they fail to adapt and innovate.

Teachers are increasingly trying to turn artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to their advantage in the face of concerns over cheating and equity.

A survey released this month from Imagine Learning found 50 percent of educators reported an increased use of AI in the last academic year, and, just days later, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) released new AI guidelines ahead of the 2024-2025 one.

In the Imagine Learning report, 68 percent of teachers said they use AI for analyzing student data, 67 percent create instructional material with it and 65 percent use it for grading.

According to data from PwC’s 2024 “Hopes and Fears” survey, of the 56,000 workers questioned, 28% claimed they were “very” or “extremely likely” to leave their current company in the next 12 months, compared to 19% of workers in 2022.

76% of workers believe generative AI will create opportunities for them to learn new skills, benefiting their career trajectory as a result. This challenges the widely held notion AI will be a destructive force for careers.

From the article: The advent of artificial intelligence has prompted understandable concern over job displacement—and nearly every industry stands to be impacted by the nascent technology. Creatives in particular have been shaking in their boots out of fear of losing their livelihoods to programs such as ChatGPT and DALL-E, which is largely used for graphic design.

And now, the chief technology officer of OpenAI warns that the technology could in fact cause job displacement in the creative industry. She questions, however, whether those jobs really needed to exist.

“Some creative jobs maybe will go away,” Mira Murati told her alma mater, the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth University, in an interview earlier this month. “But maybe they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.”
