@futurebird reminds me of "turn the thermostat down at night" type advice. It makes sense if you assume everyone spends all night in a bed loaded up with wool blankets and other domestic creatures, but now all that has been replaced by much less insulating bedding and people who work late, do evening chores, etc, etc.
@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.
@futurebird @alexwild @MyrmecolNews I remain convinced the author of the mirror test for ants paper intended to be mockery of the whole concept of mirror test.
@apophis @grant_h Today, on a sunday I have 130 school email notifications and all of them are from the listservs and I need to open most of them and look to see what it is. OK I'll open like half of them. But it's a mess. Nonetheless we are already a school where students and teachers do mass digital communication in the community all the time.
@caffetino If your school culture is mostly right and you don't have many problems with bullying you won't see it in the online space. If there is a problem it seems like the problem needs to be addressed at the root. In the classroom and halls.
@the5thColumnist @faithisleaping "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.
