Nolan’s Odyssey is easier to admire than to love
(08/14/26 12:41pm)
I can’t remember the first time I heard “The Odyssey”; it was read to me before I could read it myself. I came to know the wooden horse, the Cyclops, Penelope at her loom and Odysseus lashed to the mast through illustrated versions long before I understood that they belonged to a pillar of Western literature. My childhood dogs were named Argos and Hector.

Taneja: Claude Watermarking Its Output Alone Will Not Save Writing
(08/14/26 11:10am)
Call me naive all you want, but I don't think there is anything particularly dystopian about artificial intelligence itself, as long as the companies behind our frontier models are conscious about what parts of our humanity must be conserved and are making efforts to do so. Most of us have forgotten how to write, or at least how to write confidently and, more importantly, trust our own writing. Almost everywhere except in my academics and at The Dartmouth, I too have almost always relied on my trusty dear pal Claude to check my writing. “Hello, Night Owl,” it will say, as I, in the worst possible grammar and incomprehensible spelling, tell it to check if the email I am sending to my boss at 2:00 AM on a Wednesday is polite enough. Sometimes, when I am feeling daring and lethargic enough to surrender to the machines, I just ask it to write the whole email from scratch. I know that you too, dear reader, have probably, at least once, done the same. The saddest statistic of all is that now there is more suspected AI generated content on the internet than original human copy.
Alahyari: Protection and Service Are Choices for the Public to Make
(08/14/26 7:05am)
When Grafton County Sheriff Jill Myers first won her seat in 2024, she laid out a largely uncontroversial vision for the responsibilities of the county’s sheriff department with the hopes of mending a disconnect between the public and the police force after she observed that policing had become “frowned upon.” In her ideal, deputies would take on more diverse day-to-day responsibilities: stopping to help someone on the side of the road, assisting local police in domestic calls. All the while, the department would also engage in more direct community outreach through local fundraisers and would send out more frequent public announcements so people could “actually see what their department is doing.” Doesn’t that all sound so nice?

Menna: Judgement and Restraint
(08/07/26 7:05am)
Last week, in this space, I argued that the federal investigation into the Geisel School of Medicine had brought Dartmouth’s commitment to institutional restraint to its first real test. I resisted prescribing exactly how the College should respond. The investigation had just begun, and the “fierce defense” of Dartmouth that College President Sian Leah Beilock has promised could take many forms, including cooperation with federal investigators.
