jedi june 2024 — 30 instances of jedi bonding day 2: luke skywalker & obi-wan kenobi

Jake: uses it on papers more often than he wants to, always promises himself this is the last time. keeps it a secret from the rest of the team when he does use it because he thinks he should be better than that. a teacher calls him out on it once and he crashes out.

Rachel: also thinks she should be better than that. thankfully for her, she is. miss A-average used it once to see what the fuss was about, immediately spotted several factual errors, and hasn't touched it since. won't openly judge you for using it, but secretly will. except in the case of marco, who she teases incessantly, of course

Tobias: ax sets him up with a jailbroken, hacked smartphone with unlimited data, and he immediately starts using chatgpt for therapy. the rest of the team holds a heavy-handed debate on whether the simulacrum of human contact is helpful/healthy or not. the question gets answered for them when tobias develops chatgpt psychosis and becomes convinced that he is actually a real hawk who just made up being a human. ax ends up blocking his access.

Cassie: unequivocally opposed to any and all uses of chatgpt in any circumstances. will bring up studies of data center water usage & noise pollution any time it is mentioned. convinces rachel to smash up a data center with her, during which she uncovers a secret yeerk plot to brainwash chatgpt users. the team sets out to save an obvious elon musk copy named alan stank from the yeerks. however, in addition to him being incredibly abrasive and repellant, he also sells humanity out to the yeerks, so cassie lets him die. jake expects her to be morally conflicted over this, but she goes on a tirade against alan stank's environmental impact. marco jokes about "eat the rich". there's an unsettling implication that cassie may have done just that.

Marco: constant, incessant, unbearable chatgpt user. uses it for every single school essay, is astonished that none of the rest of them are doing the same. teases rachel & cassie for being nerds who actually do their own homework, teases jake for "joining the dark side" when it comes out that he does occasionally use it, teases tobias for getting too into it. rachel points out the factual errors & says marco's brain will shrink even smaller than it already is. responds that it's fine because he doesn't even read the essays before he turns them in, so he's not actually picking up any false information. everybody hates this for him.

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.

Huh

Not the best but at least it's not fucking mamdani

One of these things is not like the other 🤔 (literally the only non "strongly disagree" is the palestine question. Hmmmmm)

If someone were, as a random example, say hospitalized for over two weeks with no explanation, I think that should automatically trigger a special election to replace them.

If you're still able to do your job, then prove it. And if you're not, then you're actively obstructing democracy by not stepping down.

Which is to say, that if a public official were to pass away or into a coma, and their handlers choose to obfuscate that fact, this should be seen as intentionally obstructing democracy.
