We marvel at what LLMs can do and how amazing they can seem at times—but we also recognize the huge potential for abuse, we chafe at the excessive hype around their capabilities, and we worry about how they will change society.
Some may feel we are lenient by not unequivocally condemning the use of LLMs.
We've given it a huge amount of thought, and we don't want to lecture *at* students about the evils of genAI.
We don't think that works. Students use LLMs already; we want them to discover the problems for themselves.
Each lesson will be supplemented with 5 to 10 minutes of optional video discussion. Video for the first two lessons is already available. We will be posting additional episodes to accompany the rest of the lessons on a rolling basis throughout the next few months.
We also intend to develop further instructional materials and would love suggestions and requests.

We want to make it easy for you to use the course in your classroom.
The course is very much a work in progress we will be adjusting and adapting and revising in the months to come.
We are eager to hear what you think and will be very grateful for any feedback you might have.
Thank you so much,
Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West

Rule 41: Nothing is free. If you think it’s free, you don’t understand the tradeoffs yet. Not all costs are financial (see rule 27).
Rule 27: Just because an option is the cheapest doesn't make it the least expensive. The biggest costs are often not present in your monthly bill.
