In therapy today, I talked about my difficulties with my current job. My therapist suggested I use an LMM for suggestions on how to pivot to a new career.

Today, I learned that there is a whole podcast about my notebook. . . affliction.
The timeline is reading me for filth today.
@unfinishednotebook.bsky.social can't wait to start listening.

Mine was mostly an X-men fanfic, back before I knew what that was. I had some original characters I thought were amazing lol.

Terrible scrawled paragraphs, scattered across 5 notebooks.
Each one was going to, somehow, "make me a writer".
Yeah, I didn't know I had ADHD yet.
It was about sentient, companion giant robots you could ride in.

I think a lot of people don't understand that in a world where everyone uses "AI" to vomit out statistically average text, the ability to use words uniquely becomes a premium skill and a critical differentiator.
I teach a game writing class. Students have scripts, worldbuilding docs, treatments, etc due every week
About half the class used ChatGPT last semester even though I made it clear using an LLM = an F. When I asked why a studio would ever hire them if their work was just ChatGPT, they seemed stunned

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester
They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar
SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

this is why when your grandparents/parents who smoked two packs a day and drank black coffee from 7am through till 10pm tell you that adhd isnt real and your meds are a crutch you should them to fuck off.
As someone who smoked for a year or two (not very much and long ago), I think the uptick in ADHD diagnoses over the last 25 years is largely because when cigarettes were in vogue, chainsmoking was a decent way to self-med for it. Sure it kills you, but raw ADHD feels like your skeleton wants out.

We stopped using Tractor Supply after their explicit support of bigotry. I shopped at Rural King recently and found at least a few laughs. I guess they know enough to make fun of the competition.
