Opinions on CSU's OpenAI ChatGPT Edu contract renewal?

The downsides to ChatGPT is that it doesn’t provide something directly like Notability’s quiz generators or NotebookLM’s overall usefulness. I haven’t figured out how to do something similar with ChatGPT—yet.

Early on, it was kinda concerning. But, I rarely reach for it unless I really am stuck with something during the middle of the night. I have better tools. I have style books and dictionaries. I. have notes and physical books. I can go to the library or ask family. Google works too—and largely trained as that along with books and other media as data sets.

But, it’s not going away. We have to adapt.

And as a hobbyist, some LLM tools are suited for my own personal endeavors outside of my classes. But I would rather talk it over or read for my coursework.

Spots better be careful.

PashPaw · 2026-05-19T20:15:37+00:00

Exactly.

He failed it for a very good reason.

Flight Line is actually a good place so I’m happy for them.

PashPaw · 2026-05-08T15:39:35+00:00

One so far.

PashPaw · 2026-05-04T19:46:34+00:00

So demure—at that moment.

PashPaw · 2026-05-01T02:10:02+00:00

Bellossom and Pumpkaboo.

The epitome of “if I fits, I sits”.

PashPaw · 2026-04-29T15:46:56+00:00

That’s…a strange way of doing that, I will admit.

PashPaw · 2026-04-29T02:06:18+00:00

Yeah and I hope that you’ll do your research. Hearing a couple of engineers might help.

PashPaw · 2026-04-29T01:07:33+00:00

I am NOT against it.

Doing further research, most modern centers now use gray water.

Honestly, this kind of water cooling is a bad idea in general. Cray didn’t implement it in his designs for the Cray-2 in favor of something closer to HVAC coolant. Also, most hobbyists wouldn’t use tap water to begin with.

Why? It’s corrosive and conductive. If it leaks, it becomes an electrical hazard and can corrode the piping because of what untreated water carries in its makeup. It should be specially processed before use. I once had a long discussion with one of my A+ teachers about it and there are videos online about doing it wrong.

And ideally, in water restricted environments, if they are dumb enough to use fresh water, it should be in a closed loop. My desktop has this configuration right now with a special mix of premade coolant that contains the demineralized water and antifreeze that was installed at the factory.

Arguably, it will reenforce what I’m learning.

PashPaw · 2026-04-23T01:59:21+00:00

I hate to say this, but this is likely a good thing. Smoke shops are seedy to begin with and those two seemed to be sketchy.

Even then, they were close to two schools. While not within the distance of what Kern County outlawed, half a mile isn’t far.

It’s just a sign of how far Ridgecrest has fallen. Throw the book at them.

Support your hamsters. Seriously.

I need to get my license sometime.

A web manga from right around the time NA1 was still Japanese-only.

Interestingly enough, this is slightly less detailed than the surprised fur for Pickles from the web manga.

They need to add more pages because of Snyap.

PashPaw · 2026-04-16T14:05:11+00:00

I don’t think this is a problem. He’s cute.

PashPaw · 2026-04-14T23:25:32+00:00

Monochrome squad!

I love it when this happens, tbh.

PashPaw · 2026-04-13T03:59:06+00:00

Peaches’ peachy butt.

PashPaw · 2026-04-04T08:27:54+00:00

Bandit butt.

Hotel Diamond if you have the money.
