What I call Seemingly Conscious AI has been keeping me up at night - so let's talk about it. What it is, why I'm worried, why it matters, and why thinking about this can lead to a better vision for AI. One thing is clear: doing nothing isn't an option. 1/

Since we're at the point of book purging, let me remind all that my book, Computer Science for Kids: A Storytelling Approach, is based on the premise that _anyone_ can learn how to code. There's even a hidden curriculum around sustainability. Take a look at the web site: cs4kids.club.

Reminder: it’s not a difference of economic or policy opinions that is making twitter a worse place for people, it’s the bigotry: anti-Blackness, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemetism & the harassment that comes with that. People are free to disagree on policy all day long.
