Wow.

@Bfordham

I have a worse one. But first I want to say something. I hate it when people say “no pun intended” be intentional with your puns! Be proud.

Anyway.

I entered a pun contest online one time. I submitted ten puns under different names so I could stand a better chance of winning.

I thought it was a lock! One pun *had* to win. Sadly no pun in ten did.

@josh0

They get so mad at my puns.

But they also save up ants puns for me so there is a bright side.

... named Lace a lot.

"Lance" isn't a very common name in our time but in medieval times there were people ...

I can't. It is too horrible. It is wrong.

@electropict

Someone suggested writing parallel scenarios that raise the same issues, but without LLMs involved.

I think this is also a good exercise.

In theory ethics don't really change, or they change much more slowly than technology.

@apophis @graydon @moz @epicdemiologist

now that you mention it...

@moz @graydon @mediaevalfishsandwich @epicdemiologist

The only kind of "necro thread" I find annoying is when something gets boosted and the author isn't around to respond or even seemingly notice the replies.

Then it just feels like an attention mill tactic.

"sorry about replying to an old comment"

One of the things I like about the fedi is that old conversations can comeback and feed into each other and build.

I never understood the hate for "necro threads" in some online communities.

"zero tolerance" = "too lazy to figure out what the heck is really going on"

I've been in a few cases where I didn't have enough information to say "who started it" and in those cases I'd tell the students this frankly, but making it clear that if I did know it would matter.

@cy

"a teacher is using an ai detection program to check students essays"

nooooooo nooooo nooo don't dooooo this.

(I'm not being constructive but I'm going to die on the faculty lounge floor if I hear about one more teacher doing this. It's just going to make you suspicious. Use your brain. If you think it's "odd" talk to the kid maybe. Have a clear policy.... why why why)

@fuzzychef

This makes total sense ... but I could also see these distinctions being very confusing to a kid.

@frank

This is also a good idea. It's not like the questions here are "new" they are just surrounded by new contexts and might be hard to recognize for what they are.

@CuriousMagpie

I really should not be teaching any ethics I'm just the math and CS teacher but these people want "AI Ethics Lessons" so. I will do my best.

The "What is likely to happen?" question is depressing but needed.

*** high pitched squeaking sounds ***

I neeeeed these...

Please don't force me to learn how to knit a whole sweater. I have made mittens and that is the limit of my poor little attention span.

"Is the fanfic good? Do people like it? I don't think anything else should matter here."

YUP.

@wakame

Good idea to have one about self-reinforcing "therapy" loops.

I'd like to work another person into this one. Maybe someone they show it to in order to prove that they are being mistreated?

@graydon

Tactical Snippers
Power Slicers?

What is driving this...
(**whispers** is it lesbians? )

@tshirtman

Hard agree.

And if that doesn't happen the creator should produce the *exact* same product and sell it themselves (but with a "genuine" mark) and dare them to do anything about it.
