The move could be significant: Across the U.S., 45 million people owe $1.6 trillion for federal loans taken out for college — more than they owe on car loans, credit cards or any consumer debt other than mortgages. By some estimates, the plan could cost $300 billion or more. For months, progressive Democrats have pushed Biden for bigger cancellations, arguing that debt forgiveness is necessary to address racial disparities in the economy. This plan is less than they hoped. But Biden’s plan sought to address the economic concerns by targeting the size of the relief. The White House had to weigh questions of fairness: Some argue that widespread debt forgiveness is unfair to those who tightened their belts to pay for college. The White House also had to balance fears that the plan could make inflation worse ahead of the midterm elections. Details: Biden said he would cancel $10,000 in debt for those earning less than $125,000 per year and $20,000 for those who had received Pell grants for low-income families. What’s next: The plan will almost certainly face legal challenges: Biden used executive action, rather than legislation, to forgive the loans. Republicans are slamming the program as “Biden’s bailout for the wealthy.” Rebel fighters outside Mekelle, the capital of the Tigray region, last year.Finbarr O’Reilly for The New York Times Fighting erupts near Tigray region Fighting [erupted on the border of the Tigray region](~/AAAAAQA~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~~) yesterday, ending a five-month cease-fire between rebels and the Ethiopian government. Tigrayan rebels, the Ethiopian government and local residents confirmed that fighting was taking place around Kobo, a town in northern Ethiopia, following weeks of military buildup on both sides of the front line.

ARTS AND IDEAS Generated by OpenAI's DALL-E 2 Can A.I. create? The Times asked an artificial intelligence app called DALL-E 2 for a photograph of “a sailboat knitted out of blue yarn.” It spit out the above image. What’s most impressive is how DALL-E 2 generates the picture. These aren’t composites of existing images. They’re wholly new creations made through a complex process, called “diffusion.” It starts with random pixels and refines them repeatedly until they match a text description. We’re in a golden age of progress in A.I., Kevin Roose writes in The Times. Now is the time, he argues, to start taking the potential and risks of A.I. seriously.
