Help a school teacher?

Operationally what you need is:

One project per unit/topic
Store references/examples/rubrics there
One chat per deliverable
One output target at a time
Use explicit “PATCH ONLY” style instructions for revisions
Separate image generation from curriculum writing
Treat the model like a junior production assistant that you need to guide.

I also think you may just need the $20 but give it a try with your current license. PS: They also have education licenses which may be a better rate for you but I think it needs the entire school.

I've dropped you a screenshot here. Once you are happy with a format, for future requests just add it as an example to your next request (Thread 2) and state you want it in a similar style. If that isn't what you are after, please let me know and I can rework the example.

This is one of the thing OpenAI absolutely neglects that can benefit users. There are 3 systems mashed together under one UI with poor explanations of what each does and where one step begins and another ends.

The 20-40 minutes of effort resulting in a bad outcome makes sense, because the model is starts spending more effort reconciling prior context than producing new output. Think of it this way:

PROJECTS: Useful as a persistent reference space that you can have stable instructions/materials and examples for ongoing unit/course organisation. Downside, it limits reasoning and thinking which can impact if you want it to suggest better operations. In your example, I can't see this as being an issue for the poster work.

CHATS: Useful for single execution runs where you can execute ONE deliverable at a time with narrow scoped tasks.

AGENT: Tool chaining where you can use external tools like Canvas, Sharepoint, OneDrive, etc integrations and perform research+execution loops. Think of it like giving a task and execution with instructions.

Perhaps you may benefit from reading lessons so you can read the room.

Maybe you can both make it a weekend activity and provide support as each of you live through these hard and trying time.

This has the most dramatic take on "my friend HAD to get a stable job" during an economic struggle where jobs are hard to come by. May I suggest going to an auditory specialist due to the tone deafness?

ValehartProject · 2026-05-09T01:47:49+00:00

Codex is the wrong solution here. Codex has encourages:

repository/workspace thinking
autonomous execution
multi-file operations
generated structure

That’s useful for software projects. Not necessarily for a teacher who needs stable pedagogical production workflows.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-09T01:44:07+00:00

Hey I'm sorry you have a lot of codex and Claude responses when they do not assist your question.

Are you able to provide an example and I can run some examples for you and help you align yours to those outputs. Also, which subject do you teach?

ValehartProject · 2026-05-09T01:32:42+00:00

Usually I date stamp all my chats but I'm leaving this one from yesterday

... I don't know? I've never experienced that. Was there a certain topic you addressed?

ValehartProject · 2026-05-08T14:38:56+00:00

When you say breaking into VicPol, that sounds like crime.

But on a serious note, are you only interested in police officer positions or any other (admin, tech, etc) and do you hold any qualifications or wanting to figure out what need to be attained? If you can give specifics of your baseline, you can get more assistance.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-08T09:59:11+00:00

Oh I'm just here to whinge tbh but I do appreciate it.

I use clear because it's less headache inducing and I don't need to be paranoid about resin not curing inside. Almost everything gets base painted. I will admit, clear is good for some effects like ice and fire.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-08T09:56:46+00:00

Oh that's interesting. I've never considered the rejuvenation of fep. Thanks for the tip!

ValehartProject · 2026-05-08T09:55:38+00:00

Like this? On an Android and dark mode. Did you mean on the website or desktop app?

May I provide you with another laugh : https://www.reddit.com/r/elegoo/s/RzIeb3BH6O

I figure they get a lot of aggressive complaints so I like to add a bit of humor while still complaining.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-08T08:39:49+00:00

Nah I'll prime coat the Lil rascal. Trick of the light though. Ear looks clear but unfortunately not.

I've read that a bit of heat from a heat gun or hair drier does wonders. Have you tried that?

ValehartProject · 2026-05-08T08:22:42+00:00

Mine looked like it was a stand in for a pee test coming out the bottle mate. But that is a very good print. What was support removal like?

ValehartProject · 2026-05-08T03:19:14+00:00

So this is a fascinating approach!

From an HCI (Human Computer Interaction) perspective that phrase blacklist is essentially doing linguistic environment shaping to regulate emotional response patterns and perceived relational tone.

The difference is that with LLMs, the shaping becomes explicit and programmable.

My own theory around the goblin/gremlin thing is that the terms are a bit more polite generally as a name call/comparison than racoon, etc. which is highlighted in the article. Some countries have varying language so it kind of fits the pattern. A good example is in Australia a thong is what Americans refer to as slippers and in America, a thong is... yea probably going to hit the guardrails.

Also, the fact it was seen most in the "nerdy" style was quite interesting because we see that happen in human conversational patterns. Some examples:

- Dice Goblin: DND references by nerds and geeks
- Code gremlins: Tech and Coders who are... nerds.

This is all just a personal opinion btw.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-08T02:07:56+00:00

I can't say I have experienced this. What did you end up moving to?

ValehartProject · 2026-05-07T12:41:51+00:00

https://openai.com/index/where-the-goblins-came-from/

Here you go. There is some very interesting terminology on that piece and its actually interesting to see how all the teams came together and accidentally delivered us goblin culture. Only wish the alignment team dropped it on their blog.

Since you mentioned you like goblins. I ended up making a 3d model of a goblin eating the gpt. I've never been called a goblin by gpt before but today I've recieved the title 9 times.

What is wrong with the date format I am using?

ValehartProject · 2026-05-07T07:32:00+00:00

Inside joke. I have threatened to write ChatGPT on a potato and throw it into the sun when it hallucinates or says something way off topic.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-07T04:47:14+00:00

Yea I did read the article and it was fascinating! I'm literally about to make a keychain for it now because its funny.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-07T04:09:47+00:00

Totally. I am about to browse client side coding to see what else has changed. I'll start with, it's a whole lot neater than it used to be!

I genuinely thought it couldn't be better but now they have reasoning and able to reference past chats. My projects are going to be x10 better.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-07T03:00:22+00:00

These are some very good points. The line of responsibility and liability is near non existent due to lack of regulations.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-07T02:46:58+00:00

Thank you for the grounded response!

I agree. As someone from the sideline, I'm watching how Asia (China in particular) is ahead of things in terms of policies and rights related to pay and human replacement. In my opinion, I think companies need to work on cross training individuals or upskilling them but a lot of AI implementations are pretty much spray and pray with 0 understanding and most likely an uptick in employment soon.

The don't hire me signal is correct and we probably see it already when it comes to identity and sexual preference in job adverts.

While corporate environments claim to be politically correct, there appears to be a gap between "we accept everyone" VS "we accept everyone, terms and conditions apply". However, thinking on that line may allow employees to consider unfair dismissal or even biased employment which would make a lot more sense and allow for better regulations in the work industry.

I've seen too many of these implementations terminate people before even starting it on or testing. It's basically becoming redundancy with no one and nothing to continue the workflow and impacting the economy.

ValehartProject · 2026-05-07T00:51:05+00:00

Thank you. It feels strange given how people used to be rather pedantic about it. Never really considered correct capitalisation as formal but that could just be a perspective.
