When Smolnicka-Dos Santos played “A Bar Song (Tispy)” by Shaboozey over a speaker, the dancers set their moves to music, stomping their feet and swiveling in the air.

As Stanford administration moved to remove the co-ops Synergy and Terra, students pushed back through organizing, grieving and negotiating to hold onto homes built over decades of intentional living.

In March, Sam Altman announced OpenAI has trained an artificial intelligence (AI) model that is particularly talented at creative writing — and posted a “metafictional” story written by this unreleased and unnamed model. If the reader didn’t know that it was produced by an AI — a fact that may immediately elicit dismissal and disgust — it was, by my estimation, really quite good.

Full Moon on the Quad (FMOTQ), a deep-rooted Stanford tradition, returned to campus Monday night under a full spring moon. Stanford Street Meat served ice cream and fried plantains, with student volunteers handing out food from the stations. The Mendicants, an acapella group, performed three love songs, while two of the Stanford Trees joined the students in the crowd.
