  • When I was in year 12 of high school last year, some students attempted to use ChatGPT to write their practice exams for them. Mind you, these practice exams are the same as proper state mandated exams, where there are to be zero electronics used whatsoever unless it’s a disability aid, but the practice ones are also just that, to practice your skills, not to write it off as some worthless obligation.

    There were actually heaps more of these students who entirely used LLMs for their assignments, would be made to rewrite them because it’s AI written, then proceed to have ChatGPT write it again and pass it through a ‘humaniser’ which just made it unreadable. It’s alarming that these people are willing to stop using their mind at all just because some service from half way across the world wrote an essay better than they could before.




  • One ad that really pisses me off is a Ford ad, where they say “get what you really want” followed with an explanation on one of their trucks. Haven’t seen the whole ad, because I’ve been getting what I really want, some fucking peace, quiet and be allowed to listen to music, by closing and reopening the Spotify app.

    Ive also never wanted a truck or any other BS like that, although it makes sense why I get served it, since it’s apparently in my age category, since I don’t have personalised ads on.












  • I suppose the issue tends to be the feeling of too many options, especially for those with minimal creativity and lack drive to build something that isn’t materially useful, and that’s fine honestly.

    It’s easy to get bored to, hence the meme of the “2 week minecraft phase”, since you can “lock in” and create the most intriguing builds you’ve conceived of, but then after that 2 weeks is up, you feel burnt out and play something else.

    There’s also how you can achieve so much in a world, but get bored not because of burnout but because you’ve done all you wanted to that was achievable. For example, I have a snowy-slopes only world that I completed 3 bases, connected them via ice boat highway, and I have 4th base with the exterior almost finished, but I got bored since I couldn’t figure out what I wanted for the interior, but I might find something that drives me back again, which I hope.

    It’s an amazing game, it’s just that the flaws in it aren’t its own, it’s the limits of people inherently.
