     @gvwilson
     I've given this some thought, recently. Particularly in the context of MBA brain being a real thing that is actually produced by MBA programs. It seems like it must be possible to do the reverse and instill a sense of communal responsibility. But, like MBAs, it probably has to be a multi-year immersive experience, not just a better undergrad ethics course. I don't have more of an answer than that, though.

     The "use ChatGPT as a fake therapist for thousands of people without any ethics oversight" story has me wondering again: what can we teach undergrad software engineers that will _convince_ them that this is wrong? We can _tell_ them, but from experience, if they don't already believe, they tell us what they know we want to hear on the exam and nothing in their behavior changes. cc @seresearchers 1/
