  • 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.





  • It does reduce the amount of people to feed and house, but the right to life and the right to be innocent before proven guilty both hold. Cops being the judge, jury and executioner is inherently unreliable, and human beings inherently have biases based on thousands of factors, so there WILL be officers stating “oh nah they attacked me” without the attack actually happening and their life being taken just because the officer has a racist or biased interpretation of their behaviour.

    Also, seeming that you’re from aussie.zone, it appears you are of course an Aussie like me, so you should have already caught that we are multicultural, and we are going through a tough time of the public discriminating against itself. Extrajudicial killings by law enforcement will amplify this.






  • 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.









  • My hyperfixated interests tend to be about technology in general, and adjacent to that, ive recently started watching around 7 episodes of Star Trek (currently on the 1st season of The Original Series), and plan to keep watching it for a long while.

    My previous fixation lasted 7 months straight, and it was obsessively researching into computer memory architectures, mainly the unified and universal memory architectures. I haven’t even become bored of it yet, it’s just something I research less in now since I did it so thoroughly that I might need a break haha.

    Ive also had another one that started around 10 months ago, around the same one as the memory architecture one, but is still going, and it’s about diving into how my mind works and how I can make things easier for myself (as well as find more evidence of me being neurodivergent, which has been very successful). Ive found that I’m very likely AuDHD (if you haven’t already realised from the previous statements), and I’ve been tying in many factors, including daily behaviours, a concussion I had 3 years and 3 days ago, etc, and have compiled it into a shit ton of digital notes.



  • I have tended towards making very simple, quick, healthy and hearty breakfast meals, since those make or break the day for me if I have the wrong thing.

    One breakfast I have is 150g hummus, around 50g of feta and a large whole grain wrap (cut into pieces and microwaved to be like chips), with the batching I use lasting around a week. I get a $6AUD 1kg tub of hummus per week (and usually have a spare as rollover if there isn’t enough in the tub I take from,) $4 250g feta block, and a $4 pack of 8 large whole grain wraps.

    I’m likely not accurate with the pricing, since I don’t tend to concentrate a lot on the pricing since I’ve found this breakfast good value, but it tends to come to ~$1.90 per serving.

    It’s also why I tend to do intermittent fasting a lot (for usually at least 7 hours), as it is very filling.

    Not saying you need my solution, since finding your own solution would allow it to be integrated better into your routine, although inspiration is also great (the wrap idea was from my sister for instance).
