How do you think about the trade-off between efficiency gains from using AI for teaching prep (e.g., creating slides) and protecting your intellectual property (and/or donating your knowledge and creativity to the tech companies that then train their models using your input)?

Could we call it the difference between narrow self-interest (which she voted for, as a promise of free IVF) and a commitment to the broader good (which she voted against, and turns out it included her govt. job)? Should we know that the narrower good may be too narrow for ourselves & what we love?

People are having predictable reactions to this piece, which I get, but I actually do think we need to have a collective discussion about epistemic ethics, as it were. She didn't know. *Should* she have known? Who is responsible for her not knowing? Did she fail or was she failed, or both?

When someone has Nazi views and you know that because they tweet them & say them out loud & did a speech where they did a Nazi salute but when you call them a Nazi everyone goes ‘WOAH HANG ON A MINUTE THATS REALLY HYSTERICAL AND OFFENSIVE’ and you have to scream into a pillow for 3 hours.

Used this article in class this week and the debate was incredible - from business ethics to policy, touching upon some metaphysics and metaethics. We, as a society, need to talk more (and more effectively) about this sort of tech and what we want it to look like. www.theverge.com/c/24300623/a...

On December 2, the Brussels Court of Appeal found the Belgian government guilty of crimes against humanity in Congo during Belgian colonial rule and ordered it to pay compensation as a form of reparation. It's a landmark win for the reparations movement. www.hrw.org/news/2024/12...
