The problem is that they really didn’t understand how to write with bisic ilcomations.

I really wish I could help you, Carolyn. But I’m in financial distress myself. Worst thing about being broke is that I can’t help my friends in need. :-(

Really enjoyed the time I had playing this game at CEO earlier this year! A very straight forward tag team fighter that will have rollback netcode and can be played straight from your web-browser! Check it out if you have the chance!

I don't like asking for help, but I have invoices that have been held up & have been secretly trying not to drown since the government cut my funding to teach in Spring.

Anything helps, & I am willing to offer a free "no judgement zone" venting session as a thank you. 🙇‍♀️

Let's see what this Viper is all about!!! How many of may theories from watching the Character Guides will turn out to be correct? (Probably all of them because I am stupidly smart. 😏

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses?
Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

Oh dang. Nice!

Sure. But this is for school. They already force all kinds of craziness. I’ve seen the kind of things they make you do for programming classes, for example. Being made to use their site instead of notepad would just be something you have to do for the class. I don’t think that’s unreasonable?

Doing a short stream. This is the time of night I usually lab and I figured I'd stream it! Doing a camera-less Marisa lab session. Will explain my thoughts as I go to help see my process!

Joy. LOL!

But definitely something to think about, especially with classes making such a drastic shift to being online a lot of the times. Frankly, the world needs to start building anti-AI tools like these for creative processes.

James “jchensor” Chen @jchensor.bsky.social · 11d

Ah, to prevent future editing after being submitted? That makes sense.

As I’ve said to others, it might take a brand new site that could be built specifically for this purpose with all the necessary features.

James “jchensor” Chen @jchensor.bsky.social · 11d

Yeah, this is a marvelous point. Again, even though I couldn’t make one on my own, I’m starting to think what it *would* take to make a proper Word Processing site that could record history and facilitate proper accessibility features and such. 🤔🤔

James “jchensor” Chen @jchensor.bsky.social · 11d

There’s definitely a lot of potential problems. Though I don’t think most people using AI to cheat would be willing to type an entire essay word by word, but I could be wrong. Hahaha.

But now I’m curious about making a custom “Essay” site that records history and has good accessibility features.

1

James “jchensor” Chen @jchensor.bsky.social · 11d

If that can’t be done in Google Docs, maybe it’s time to create something like that so teachers can monitor exactly how a document was written from start to finish, looking for edits and deletes and rewrites and all that to see an actual human process of writing an essay.

James “jchensor” Chen @jchensor.bsky.social · 11d

I’m not how detailed it can get, but if everyone is forced to write essays in Google Docs, can you view the edit history to see how it was written? It would clearly obvious if entire chunks are copy and pasted into the Google Doc that they aren’t writing it themselves right?

Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 14d

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

"One of the most compelling messages from her last interviews is that while we’re the most “intellectual animals” to ever walk the planet, “we’re not intelligent,” said Goodall, who’s an expert in animal behavior. “Because intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”"

RIP Jane Goodall

Vox @vox.com · 14d

Jane Goodall, one of the most influential environmental figures in human history, has died at 91 while touring the country to deliver an urgent message about nature and human existence.

“We’re destroying the planet,” she said last week during the Forbes Sustainability Leaders Summit in NYC.

Listen to Jane Goodall’s final — and urgent — message

Her final interviews are essential listening for everyone.

(Although a close second would be a scene from the old sitcom “My Two Dads” where they actually featured AoL in an actually funny joke where they were chasing a slime and then cut to them looking terrified and then cutting back to the GIANT slime in the last dungeon chasing them in revenge.)

James “jchensor” Chen @jchensor.bsky.social · 23d

I actually enjoyed the game and think it gets a bad rap. Having said that, yes, the palace theme is still the greatest contribution the game has given us. Song absolutely slaps.
