That's a lot for the "first year, here's the language/history/perspectives you will need to navigate this industry as a moral actor" thing I'm going for, though "at a bare-assed minimum let's not bullshit ourselves about what AI tools are, who they serve and how they work" belongs in there.

Code Is Law though does not. The central thesis of "Code Is Law" just... isn't true. At all. It's so profoundly not-true that it's weird anyone ever though otherwise.

@mhoye I agree that Code is Law didn’t quite live up to its own hype.

But the central postulate - that software imposes rules, and it’s way harder to break those rules than it is to break laws in the physical world, and that difference makes a difference - remains true.
