    I think that no one should touch AI/LLMs without some kind of training or education on how they work, what they can and can't do, considering the ethics of their use, and using them responsibly if you do decide to use them. That's why I'm making such a primer right now as part of the Techne System for Foundational Skills in the Technology and Society topic. Here are some relevant excerpts from the draft so far:

    "Professional and career disasters

    The pitfall: Using AI for professional work without adequate oversight, verification, or disclosure.

    Why it happens: AI promises efficiency and polish. In professional contexts with tight deadlines, the temptation to let AI handle work is strong."

    "Legal work: Lawyers have submitted legal briefs containing AI-generated case citations that don't exist. Courts have sanctioned lawyers for this. Hallucinated legal citations can get you disbarred."

    "How to avoid it:

    - Never submit AI-generated work without thorough review and verification
    - Verify every factual claim, citation, statistic, and technical detail
    - Understand what you're submitting—if you can't explain it or defend it, don't put your name on it
    - Follow professional standards and disclosure requirements in your field
    - Maintain accountability—you're responsible for everything you submit, regardless of how it was created

    Your reputation is built over years and can be destroyed in moments. AI-assisted work requires the same standards as any other work bearing your name."

    Hopefully the completed lesson will be ready and available sometime this week.

  2. **Big changes for Techne!**

    First of all is mostly behind the scenes, but I have started using a program called Hugo (gohugo.io) for making the website, which will speed up my workflow. Not only that, but Hugo comes with themes that offer many features, including layouts that I can only dream of, built-in search function, menus, charts by code, etc. I'm really excited about it, and the whole site has a fresh new look as well. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think!

    There is also some new content as we progress towards version 0.4. Level 1, Topic 1: How to Use This Program now has an Intermediate level lesson, giving more advice on using Techne, making it easier, and making options clearer.

    Science (Level 2, Topic 5) also got the Intermediate treatment (a bit out of sequence, but I was inspired), with not only more to learn about science itself, but full lessons on Chaos Theory, Evolution, and Ecology. So why these subjects then? They do all relate to many of the other topics in the program, and having a basic understanding of them does have benefits for your life too. If you want any more convincing, just check out the Why These Topics in the first lesson's introduction, or Why This Matters in each subject, just like with every topic in the program.

    I'm guessing that you're talking about the themes. Yes, they are essentially "role playing 'games'", where the idea is about the story/setting without the need for points or winning, at least in the traditional sense.

    I'm also guessing from Vermillion Vespers that you like vampires. How do you feel about Lovecraftian horror? Right now I'm working on developing a theme based on that, so I could tell you more about that if you're interested. I also have a Harry Potter like theme idea (using all original content), but that one is still pretty conceptual so I'm not sure how well that one will work out. The Lovecraftian theme is working out excellently though, I'm pretty excited about it.

    But not all themes will be that fictionally immersive. Some are more of a light touch, such as the theme for Engineers that just reframes everything through that lens, or the military theme that is somewhat like The Mission Continues program, so you learn to repurpose your military skills into creating better communities and society.

    Another thing I like/am proud of is the application of one of guiding principles of the program, which is "practice what you preach" or "walk the talk". For example, in the Psychology topic, we learn how people's brains work differently, and to reflect this in the program we try to accommodate as many different learning styles as we can.

    And while it may seem strange to be coming from the topic of Critical Thinking, there is the optional use of Themes to "dress up" the learning material and make it more fun. For example fans of Star Trek may enjoy the material looking like it came from Star Fleet Academy, where they can learn Vulcan Logic (Critical Thinking) and Interstellar Diplomacy (Communication Skills). There are ideas for several different themes already.

    Because of the topic of Organizational Intelligence, the system is designed to be self-improving, with a feedback and contribution system that regularly updates and improves the material. Even just submitting what works well for you and what doesn't can be helpful. Thus we leverage the "network effect" that we learn about in Community & Cooperation.

    And speaking of C&C, I plan to have a companion organization where all these things can be practiced and used. Everything from simply finding a study partner or group, to finding or starting community projects to get involved in. I also plan on a mutual aid network which embodies many of the things taught in the program.

    So yeah, this program isn't meant to be just a body of raw information, it's the soil in which I hope many good things will grow from.

    I think that my favorite part is making connections between the different topics. For instance, Emotion Management helps with Critical Thinking and Communication Skills, Long Term Thinking helps with Science and Technology literacy, Psychology and Communication skills help with Community & Cooperation... actually I think that they all might help that one, and vice versa. Still so many connections to make! I find that they make the skills you learn in each topic stronger by reinforcing each other, much like people do in Community & Cooperation... see, I did it again! 😆
    (I like to do this in my fiction writing and worldbuilding as well.)
