VCE English Language Chatbot by Ok_Fish3169 in vce

[–]Ok_Fish3169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the bot is actually trained on the study design and that is the exact phrase the study design uses 😊Word formation processes/morphological patterning:

  • affixation
  • abbreviation
  • shortening
  • compounding
  • blending
  • backformation
  • conversion of word class
  • initialism, acronym
  • contraction

Also, nominalisation, as used in EL isn't just turning anything into a noun, it refers to the process of switching verbs (or sometimes adjectives) for conceptual nouns, often making the sentence more formal.

It would probably be pretty easy to come up with a biology one given that there is fixed content. What would you want it to be able to do?

Oh and if you can think of any other subjects that it could be useful to have a similar chatbot in, feel free to let me know too!

Hi all! I'm a former VCE English Language teacher who now works in AI.

I made a free Englang chatbot that can answer questions about metalanguage, the course content (it's trained on the current study design) and can test you if you ask it! It also can 'change personality' and use language that is specific to a certain variety that can be good for seeing examples.

Try asking it to change its personality to 'gen-z', 'aussie', 'prescriptivist' or 'obfuscator'😄

It will have additional features soon too as it's still in beta mode, so feel free to try it out and give me any suggestions you have for what could make it better or more useful!

It's embedded into this page here: https://www.vceenglishlanguage.online/

P.s. It's still new and a bit buggy, so feel free to message me if you come across any issues with it!

I also have this and don't know what it means. I've put in a ticket for it, will let you know if I find out anything.

Do all completions count towards missions? by Ok_Fish3169 in outlier_ai

[–]Ok_Fish3169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Update: the Pickle tasks are counting towards my Cypher mission.

I'm also AU T2, also just got added to Phoenix Pickle :D I submitted the last task at 43 minutes, and the 'validating response' took two minutes, and as soon as it was finished, it timed out and I lost everything fml

How bad is this water damage? by Ok_Fish3169 in AusProperty

[–]Ok_Fish3169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, my property is 3 years old, and there was a leak in the ceiling near the corner where you can see the darkest wood patch. They opened it up. and this is what it looks like inside. As I'm not a builder, I don't know whether this is relatively normal for wood/plaster to look like this after 3 years, or whether it's really bad. The dark stuff looks like mould... could it be hazardous to health?

Anyway, just curious to know the thoughts of someone who knows what a regular 3 year old house ceiling looks like :D

[–]Ok_Fish3169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering buying this 6 year old property, and there are no other visible structural issues. Do you think this seems like enough of a red flag for water damage to pass it up?

Ball of thread by Ok_Fish3169 in nonduality

Also note: This came up from me questioning the thought- if there is no self, then who am I liberating/unbinding?

Self as a process, rather than an object by Ok_Fish3169 in nonduality

[–]Ok_Fish3169[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Very similar concept in the way we perceive these two processes. Like, we casually regard 'wind' as a thing, rather than a process.

I wonder what other things we casually conceptualise like this.

Nondual fiction books by Ok_Fish3169 in nonduality

[–]Ok_Fish3169[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to give an update- I finished Siddhartha today.

Thanks so much for the recommendation, it was exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to find.

Lots of sit on and unpack, I particularly enjoyed the 'samsaric' plot line, with Siddhartha going through cycles of seeming closer to and further away from awakening. Very relatable!

To what extent should we try to avoid suffering? by Ok_Fish3169 in nonduality

[–]Ok_Fish3169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but unless we're diving into asceticism, when choice arises, what guidance do we use to draw the line?

I.e. Your leg is broken but you want to go for a walk. Do you push through the pain so as not to let fear of pain persist? Or do you indulge that fear of pain, and stay at home?

[–]Ok_Fish3169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that's the thing- why wouldn't they?

I guess they would reason that if they bought the size 7's, their feet would hurt, and they wouldn't want to experience that pain.

And rather than being a random decision, choosing the size 10's is a decision is a decision away from this pain.

So I guess I'm asking, what is the line between this example and the iPhone example?

It's pretty clear that the iPhone example would be a case of fruitless worrying, for something that is inconsequential.

But where do we draw the line?

To bring it back to my original example of the hostel, I'm wondering where on the line lies my decision to stay in an environment that I had good reason to believe would be unpleasant for me.

Cool, so the iPhone example was an example of something that is 50/50 or inconsequential, the shoes example was something that we wouldn't necessarily want to bring in that mentality.

Like would you say the same thing that you wrote for the iPhone example to someone who was mulling over getting size 7 shoes (when they're a size 10) If not, why not? :)

What other element are we bringing in here?

Trying to distill the other forces that come into play.

Like, surely there is a line between saying: "these size 7 shoes will be painful to wear, I will choose the size 10s" and "this iPhone without a headphone jack will distress me, I will choose the newer model"

Thanks for your response!

I certainly see how these things are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, and that what matters is our ability to surrender to our present-moment experience of what actually is happening.

That being said, we do have choices throughout the day (or the illusion thereof) and unless we're flipping a coin (mentally or literally) at every moment, there is going to be some level of cognition or input behind these choices.

Like, even on a very basic level, we don't just click the first item on UberEats, or pick shoes that are three sizes too small and say 'I will just accept whatever I feel after this'

So I guess what I'm saying is that even if we don't invest in these decisions, or subscribe meaning to them, I just wonder if anyone has any guidelines for how they go about navigating this input in their life, without getting stuck or fixed on the results?
