I have had a lucid dream exactly one (1) time and I think I fucked it up.

I dreamed I was driving past my old college and I went “Wait this is a dream! I can do whatever I want!” and I immediately swerved into oncoming traffic and right before I hit a truck I thought “Boy I hope this is a dream or this is going to really hurt”

And then I woke up.

I have not had a lucid dream since.

Takes a breath slowly in and out, trying to calm the bit of anxiety he had. "Okay." He slowly takes the other's hand into his own, ready to get some air outside. To many people to fast, he needed some lone time even just with one other person.

I just started grad school this fall after a few years away from school and man I did not realize how dire the AI/LLM situation is in universities now. In the past few weeks:

I chatted with a classmate about how it was going to be a tight timeline on a project for a programming class. He responded "Yeah, at least if we run short on time, we can just ask chatGPT to finish it for us"

One of my professors pulled up chatGPT on the screen to show us how it can sometimes do our homework problems for us and showed how she thanks it after asking it questions "in case it takes over some day."

I asked one of my TAs in a math class to explain how a piece of code he had written worked in an assignment. He looked at it for about 15 seconds then went "I don't know, ask chatGPT"

A student in my math group insisted he was right on an answer to a problem. When I asked where he got that info, he sent me a screenshot of Google gemini giving just blatantly wrong info. He still insisted he was right when I pointed this out and refused to click into any of the actual web pages.

A different student in my math class told me he pays $20 per month for the "computational" version of chatGPT, which he uses for all of his classes and PhD research. The computational version is worth it, he says, because it is wrong "less often". He uses chatGPT for all his homework and can't figure out why he's struggling on exams.

There's a lot more, but it's really making me feel crazy. Even if it was right 100% of the time, why are you paying thousands of dollars to go to school and learn if you're just going to plug everything into a computer whenever you're asked to think??

TO QUOTE ASTARION . . .

∗ collected dialogue from baldur's gate 3

thou art saucy as gruel.

don't let fear cloud your judgement. that's what alcohol is for.

it's not you, you understand. it's me. i have standards.

just tell me i'm beautiful and we can call it a day.

there's a time and place for violence. i mean, this place is perfect, but is it the time?

fine, see how you get on without me.

ugh, that is an unfortunately fair point.

do you mind? i'm brooding.

you can't be serious. this is a howling wasteland!

enjoy your night with whatever goblin will have you.

i'd prefer my art to be a little less... shit.

now that's a lock that screams 'pick me'.

this would be perfect if i had wine. but i don't, so it isn't.

never listen to your second thoughts, they always spoil the fun.

tell me you had a plan beyond 'put us in danger'?

that's not normal, is it...?

some day, that soft heart of yours is going to be torn out of your chest.

thank you so much for telling me. now please, piss off.

seems i was wrong about you... about us.

what i've lost... what i've gained... it's all so much.

you're too cute to die.

i would like to see her dead in a ditch, but i can tolerate this.

well, well. look at you.

death doesn't become you.

no sweet hearts, no. i prefer them savoury.

are you working against me? or are you just simple?

hm... let me give it another go.

pity. you're tastier than you know.

how i have a whole new life stretching out in front of me, and you... you won't be able to join me... will you?

oh, don't be so sour. it's a party.

nothing's changed, but gods... everything feels different.

you may be right... that doesn't make it sting any less, though.

oh, you're a rare treat.

you think i'd kill you, just like that? darling, i would never.

i have my reasons, you can be sure of that.

we need a way out. now.

so, he's keeping notes on me? that would have terrified me.. once.

there now, we're all friends again.

now, if we're done, we have more important business to get on with.

we both want to survive, but why merely survive when you can thrive?

i spy with my little eye... nothing of note, really.

a distillery? not my preferred tipple, honestly.

such ambition. you make me look positively humble.

did that count as giving me the side eye?

is that... normal?

well, whatever you're into.

i was just wondering when you'd invite me back for a bite.

this will all be over soon.

it's enough to put you off tentacles for life!

really? and how, specifically, have you misjudged my fine character?

don't you EVER compare me to him.

i like this bloodlust look on you. ooh, very flattering.

hm? oh, i was just pondering that heart of yours.

all i had to do was not fall for you, which is where my nice, simple plan... fell apart.

hold very, very still.

well, some rest is better than none.

i've always wanted a vicious killer for a pet.

looks like the booze got the better of them, they're practically unconscious.

well, i hope there are no bad feelings.

wallowing in filth is for pigs and children, my dear.

now go, before i change my mind about roasting you.

worse than useless.

oh shit... i... did i do something wrong?

don't mind me, i'm just enjoying the show.

i don't know if i'm horrified or jealous.

oh, please. there's no need for such language.

i need you, you need me. it's that simple.

a chained book? oh, that's just begging to be read.

interesting choice, but who am i to judge?

i won't lie, it is tempting...

still alive, i see.

i'll try to restrain myself if you do.

a pile of old, dusty corpses. lovely.

“Holy shit, baby, that’s.. that’s a lot of money. Are you sure you wanna give me that much?” He’s grateful, sure, but the amount is staggering for him.
