Is OpenAI at our (Midd)CORE?
(10/09/25 10:04am)
Last week, MiddCORE announced its partnership with OpenAI for its J-Term program. The announcement raises questions about whether OpenAI and its generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool, ChatGPT, being invited in this way to our campus reflects an endorsement of such a controversial company and of the software itself. OpenAI has been subject to numerous copyright lawsuits, is known to cause severe environmental damage and its tools are banned in several classrooms on our campus.
The value of physical media: Artificial intelligence and art
(10/09/25 10:03am)
Over the last few years, I’ve been slowly indoctrinated into the cult of physical media. There is no shortage of YouTube video essays made by 20-somethings living in Brooklyn that rave about the cultural, philosophical, aesthetic and moral value of dvds, records and film photography. And it’s hard not to agree with them. Get your first turntable and a few hand-me-down records from your dad and all of a sudden you're smoking cigarettes, wearing denim and writing articles like this.
The AI conversations we’re not having
(10/09/25 10:02am)
As a super senior graduating this coming February, my college experience has spanned two distinct eras: before artificial intelligence (AI) and after AI. My introduction to AI came over Christmas break in 2022, when my tech-obsessed father showed me ChatGPT. My family crowded around my laptop, collectively testing its responses with wide-eyed curiosity. Back then, I felt ahead of the curve, part of a small group witnessing the dawn of something that might change the world. Three years later, as I prepare to graduate, I feel the opposite.

Reel Critic: “One Battle After Another” is a rediscovery of subject
(10/09/25 10:02am)
In retrospect, it makes peculiar sense that, of all contemporary American directors, Paul Thomas Anderson would prove best-equipped to make the decade’s first great “Movie About Our Times.” The cokey, affecting mania of his early films (“Magnolia,” “Boogie Nights”); the strange, libidinal inexplicability of his later ones (“Phantom Thread,” “The Master”); and the unabashed, operatic clamor of his big one (“There Will Be Blood”) are united in his latest project, “One Battle After Another,” which meets the manic, inexplicable, clamorous American moment without indulging in its stupidity or endorsing its fatalism. Anderson has never set a movie in the present, but, in a way, it’s as if he’s been preparing to all along.
