A somewhat chance encounter with Prof. Chungmin Lee of Seoul National University, in which he illustrated things like contrastive focus and scalar implicature, and I was like "Wait, this is something you can study?" And that, friends, is how you get a BS in Accounting and a PhD in Linguistics.

Something I didn't get to say yesterday: We heard over and over during the event about "human-centered" approaches to "AI". But if refusal is not on the table (at every level: individual students and teachers right up through UNESCO) then we have in fact centered the technology, not the people.
