Hi, welcome to Higher Ed Hot Takes, I'm Joel G Goodman. Over at bravery.co we've been operating HEHT for a few years as a newsletter and video series. Now, I'm bringing the heat to audio. In this first episode, The Evangelist and the Critic, we look at the instability of companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, how the higher ed-focused AI vendors are in an untenable position because of this, and question how our institutions can reason away the damage to our planet and society — not to mention their financial prospects — these AI products create. And for no real return.

Thanks for being here.
