Today is the ninth consecutive day with a weather rating of 8/10 or higher in NYC, the longest such streak since we began issuing weather ratings in 2021.
My deep dive on the "A.I.-driven" Alpha School, revealing their internal learning and enrollment data for the first time, just as the network expands into public education.
There is a big gap between the marketing and reality.

The distribution of math tutoring locations just looks like a map of affluent suburbs that people move to for the “good schools.”
The failures of basic instruction are extremely widespread.

You're not imagining it. The rain is getting worse in NYC. We now live in a humid subtropical zone.
The subway bears the toll. It has more than 47,000 openings. In the last 20 years, at least 200 stations have been impacted by torrential rain nytimes.com/2026/09/08/magaz…

the Department of Justice filed what it calls an "historic" letter of interest in the NYT vs OpenAI/MSFT lawsuit, supporting OpenAI.
Trump admin argues it is in the "national interest" to support OAI in the copyright case.
NYT sent us statement with vigorous pushback below:

A shocking chart from a new study on student AI use in China. Good grades on homework used to predict good grades on tests. Now, it might mean the opposite. economist.com/graphic-detail…
Most American students are already using A.I. to generate writing. I took a step back to ask: What does cognitive science tell us about what writing *does* for us? Is there a way to teach and learn alongside this technology without degrading skills? nytimes.com/2026/08/17/us/st…
Important reporting from @natashanyt: Google turns on AI tools for young children in Google Classroom - some districts are caught unaware nytimes.com/2026/08/14/busin…
It seems like it would be ideal if there were *not* so many stories to report on the explosion of academic misconduct nytimes.com/2026/08/10/us/ai…
For a new reporting project, hoping to hear from a wide range of college and high school students about how they use A.I. for school and in their personal lives, and how they feel about it. Please share widely !

Student cheating is becoming impossible to detect as some A.I. companies coach young adults on how to get away with it.
Inside a new arms race: "humanizers" and "autotypers" face off against AI detectors.

A peak into life in the ai term paper trenches 🧵
3 student zoom interviews today about suspected ai use in papers. All three were flagged by @pangram. Here’s how it turned out:
With student A.I. use/abuse now ubiquitous, professors and teachers are killing off take-home essays and papers. Students are writing inside the classroom, often by hand.
It's part of the big rethink happening on tech and learning. My new report here:

We're likely to see a big political win tonight for academic rigor, in SF nytimes.com/2026/03/24/us/sa…
I'm launching a new project on how A.I. is changing writing instruction. Professors and high school teachers -- we need your help! Please fill out this brief survey: nytimes.com/2026/02/23/us/ai…
