This, and nobody seems to understand the basic fact that humanities departments are money MAKERS not money losers. They pay the same tuition to be in my class as they do in their STEM class but I make a lot less than that professor and I don't need any special equipment.

Next foster dog we get, I want to name it Neil Young because I like Neil Young. Regardless of dog gender. Or Joan Cusack, again boy or girl. My family is aware of this idea and assures me my plans will be thwarted. Alas.

Recently met someone who was very surprised to hear I didn’t use ChatGPT or any LLM. I said my job depended on doing distinctive work. That was my selling point. If I started to sound like ChatGPT and turn out what it did, then how on earth could I justify doing it? What would that make me?
