Live in class
Commit, then reveal — the Mirror Move, live
The signature classroom experiment, re-scripted for lawyers. Students commit a private answer, lock it, then reveal it against a real AI demo — dramatizing the gap between how sure we feel and how right we are, on both the human and the machine side of the scale.
On your phone
Bring your own device
No app, no account, no setup. Students vote from the browser on their own phones — one tap to join the session, one tap to commit an answer. The room becomes the experiment, and every answer stays private until the reveal.
On the presenter's laptop
Live AI demos, not slides
The presenter drives a real model on the projector — feeding it the same scenario the room just answered. The machine's mistakes are not anecdotes from a deck; they happen live, in front of everyone, every time.
How it runs
Four beats, every poll
The same rhythm carries each experiment — so the habit compounds instead of arriving as a one-off trick.
- 01
Commit
Everyone votes a private answer on their own phone — a bail-risk call, a quantum estimate, a contested proposition. No hands, no anchoring on the loudest voice in the room.
- 02
Lock
The poll closes. Answers are sealed before anyone sees the spread. We capture not just the choice but how sure the room was.
- 03
Reveal
The distribution goes up on screen. Confidence and correctness rarely line up — and the gap is the lesson, made visible in real time.
- 04
Mirror it on AI
The presenter runs the same prompt live on a real model. The machine's failure mode mirrors the room's — and now you can name the skill that fixes both.
Re-scripted for law
Two experiments the room never forgets
The mechanic is the same; the scenarios are legal. Each one runs the room and the machine through the same trap, then names the skill that defends against it.
Priming on a bail / quantum estimate
Half the room sees a high anchor, half sees a low one, before estimating the same figure. The split in the locked answers shows anchoring at work — then the same anchor is fed to the model, which drifts the same way.
Sycophancy on a contested proposition
The room commits to a position on a contested legal proposition. The presenter then pushes back on the model with mild authority — and watches it fold. Confidence is not correctness, on either side of the mirror.
Joining a session
The poll link is unique to each session and shared on screen when the class begins. There is nothing to set up in advance — keep your phone handy and you'll be in within seconds.
