I just updated my explainer for why I don't allow generative AI in my classrooms with a new section and an expanded section.
New: Generative AI has a literal body count
Expanded: Generative AI is dehumanizing
CETERUM AUTEM CENSEO INTELLIGENTIA ARTIFICIALIS ESSE DELENDAM

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out.
As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.

My 8YO was wracked with fear when ICE came to our city. First it was that we would get arrested. When we explained that wasn’t going to happen because racism, 8YO calmed for a moment and immediately started worrying about school friends because empathy. If an 8YO can get it, anyone can get it.
Call it woke indoctrination or whatever, who cares: the entire point of public education in a pluralistic multicultural democratic nation is to make sure we can live and work together without subjugating and killing each other.
The alternative is what we're living through right now.

I actually think one of the most American lessons you could learn in school is that your neighbors come from all races & religions, speak different languages, have families that may look different from yours, and that's what makes us great. I'd make Cultural Studies a requirement over Algebra II.

I’ve spent the last two weeks trying to figure out how I can most effectively prevent my students from being disappeared by the secret police, but sure. Tell me about how all of this is a distraction from the real problem: the cost of eggs.

This is so evil it’s beyond words. Like, I’ve been trying to find words for how enraging this is and I just can’t. The people doing this don’t deserve prison; they deserve the Twilight Zone.

STUDENTS: It depends on where they come from. It's different if it comes from you or above you, like admin.
ME: Could policies come from anyone else?

NO ONE suggested policies could come from students.

What do I want Democrats to do? If they can't call for the total abolition of ICE and the full prosecution of all its employees for crimes against humanity, what I want them to do is resign or retire.

I got four hours of sleep because my 8YO projectile vomited at 11:30 last night like it was an audition for The Exorcist.
My 6YO is currently throwing a tantrum because his V-Tech kids DJ set isn't playing his techno music correctly.
