Either way, I hope you're having fun!

When you email issues to Obsidian Entertainment (the video game company) their AI support hallucinates and tells you to email Obsidian (the note-taking company) instead.
If the reward function is to reduce the number of touches in a support ticket, this is one way to do it.

This week in my organic chemistry class we were extracting caffeine from tea. After filtering and doing multiple rounds using a separatory funnel, I got to use this new device, the rotatory evaporator.
I’m definitely enjoying these labs quite a bit.
