Apple's App Course Runs 20,000 a Student. Is It Really Worth It?
Is It Really Worth It? Apple, Michigan taxpayers, and one of Detroit's wealthiest families spent roughly $30 million training hundreds of people to build iPhone apps. Two years ago, Lizmary Fernandez took a detour from studying to be an immigration attorney to join a free Apple course for making iPhone apps . The Apple Developer Academy in Detroit launched as part of the company's $200 million response to the Black Lives Matter protests and aims to expand opportunities for people of color in the country's poorest big city. But Fernandez found the program's cost-of-living stipend lacking--"A lot of us got on food stamps," she says--and the coursework insufficient for landing a coding job. "I didn't have the experience or portfolio," says the 25-year-old, who is now a flight attendant and preparing to apply to law school. "Coding is not something I got back to."

Vanderbilt staff apologizes after using AI to send campus email about Michigan State shooting
Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., joined'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the latest details surrounding the fatal shooting at Michigan State University and an upcoming briefing on the flying objects in U.S. airspace. Members of the Vanderbilt staff apologized on Friday for using ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) generator, to send an email to students calling for the community to come together following the shooting at Michigan State University. The email was sent on Thursday by the Peabody Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) at the university's Peabody College and included a note at the bottom that indicated the email had been written using ChatGPT, Vanderbilt's official student newspaper, The Vanderbilt Hustler, first reported on Friday. Associate Dean Nicole Joseph sent another email on Friday and said using ChatGPT to write the email was "poor judgment," according to the Hustler.

Go To College, Play Video Games. E-Sports Make A Play For The Big Ten
Lined up at a row of computers, five Ohio State University students stare intently at their screens amid the clatter of keyboards and mouse clicks. They're keeping in shape -- so to speak. Ohio State, along with 11 other colleges, is in the middle of the first-ever Big Ten tournament for League of Legends, one of the most popular e-sports in the world. That partnership -- between the country's oldest Division I athletic conference and League of Legends maker Riot Games -- shows how far e-sports have come into the mainstream. With a 2-0 record so far, though, Ohio State still has a lot to prove -- to their school, as much as to themselves.
