I've had several conversations recently with people asking "why should anyone bother studying computer science now that we have AI?"
I decided to write out my full response to that question in a blog post: https://samgoree.github.io/2026/04/06/why_cs.html

It's funny to see users of AI coding agents adopt the deep learning grad student workflow, where most of the thinking is automated, but you are called into action whenever the code finishes running to review the results and set up the next experiment.
This is a really unpleasant way to work, if only because it gives you "free time" but you have no control over when it begins or ends.

So the whole Anthropic thing with Hegseth and Trump is some kind of publicity stunt, right?
They've been spending a ton on advertising recently, especially through nontraditional means, and this kind of news incident gets them exactly the kind of publicity they want.

I had the opportunity this week to present a fun little poster at SIGCSE.
We took data structures students on a field trip to the library to help them better understand how the library functions as a data structure, and the algorithms that librarians use to maintain it. The activity worked great!

Is the whole openclaw thing going to kill the datacenter boom? I can't imagine many individuals would pay for AI when they can run it for free on their own computers

Oh yeah I'm at SIGCSE! If you follow me here and want to meet up, let me know.

Have any of you ever taught game design (broadly construed) as part of a first course in human-computer interaction?
I'm exploring an idea for a project assignment and looking for examples.

When does an image become AI-generated?
There's been a lot of discourse around the ethics of AI art. I think some amount of these arguments also apply to smartphone photographs. To dig into this idea, I close read a series of diagrams from a computational bokeh effect patent.
