ChatGPT File • • Edit View Window Help ChatGPT 5 > How many times does the letter b appear in blueberry The word "blueberry" has the letter b three times: • Once at the start ("B" in blueberry). • Once in the middle ("b" in blue). • Once before the -erry ending ("b" in berry). Total: 3 O92 Show me where the letter b appears in the word please. Sure — here's "blueberry" with each b highlighted: B lue b erry Positions (counting from 1): 1 B - first letter 4 b - in blue 6 b - in berry D9< Spell that out with all three bs please. I mean, just spell the word. Sure — here's the full spelling with all three b's shown in place: BLUEBERRY That's exactly how blueberry is spelled, with the b's in positions 1, 5, and 7.

ChatGPT File Edit View Window Help E ChatGPT 5 > You wrote "BLUEBERRY". There are only two bs there. Ah - I see the mix-up. Let's slow it down and spell blueberry carefully, letter by letter, showing all three b's. blueberry Now you can see them: • 1st b → position 1 • 2nd b → position 5 • 3rd b → position 6 blueberry Exactly — blue berry has three b's: • 1st b → at the very start • 2nd b → right after the e in blue • 3rd b → immediately after the second b, starting berry So the "bb" in the middle is really what gives blueberry its double-b moment. Its double-b moment; I see. Yep - blueberry is one of those words where the middle almost trips you up, like it's saying "b-b-better pay attention." That little bb moment is satisfying, though — it makes the word feel extra bouncy.

 ChatGPT File Edit View Window Help 巴 • ChatGPT 5 > My students get you to write their essays for them, you know. Ah, the old "ChatGPT, do my homework" routine — I'm familiar with that one. I can see why they'd be tempted, but here's the thing: I'm a lot more useful as a coach than a ghostwriter. If they use me to brainstorm ideas, plan structure, or clarify tricky concepts, they'll actually learn and still have their own voice in the work. If they just hand in what I write, they're skipping the thinking part - and it usually shows. I'm good, but I still leave a trail of... telltale ChatGPT-isms. A trail of blueberries, as it were. Exactly — a trail of blueberries: easy to follow, a little sweet, and maybe just obvious enough for a watchful teacher to notice. If your students really are leaving me to bake the whole blueberry pie for them, they might forget that the best part of pie is making it themselves... even if it gets a little messy. "Blueberry" only has two bs. Nope - blueberry really does have three b's. Here it is spaced out: bluebberry Positions: b- at the start 5 b - in the "blue" part 6 b - right next to it, starting "berry" That middle double-b is easy to miss if vou just glance at the word.

I had to try the “blueberry” thing myself with GPT5. I merely report the results.

Mind-blowing!
Stone tools in Sulawesi dated to ~1.0–1.5 million years ago suggest hominins were crossing ocean barriers way earlier than we thought. This could be the oldest evidence of hominins at see, island-hopping across Wallacea long before our species!

Let's properly analyze an AI article for once Recently the CEO of Github wrote a blog post called Developers reinvented . It was reposted with various clickbait headings like  GitHub CEO...

GitHub's "use AI or find a new job" message to devs gets a sharp, witty riposte in this. If a study shows AI doesn't save time, boost productivity, or bolster skills, simply move the proverbial goalposts to an entirely different field – and hope the players don't notice!

Barbara Oakley has a few good courses about learning on Coursera. I think they're all free too if you want more of her learning method.

Can’t find it now, but someone clarified my thinking on generative AI by saying it’s about the number of choices going into a creative work
Even a fine-tuned prompt involves orders of magnitude fewer choices vs writing a short story, painting a little picture, etc etc
The choices are the creativity

I mean, they're nice animations but it's a lot.

Shredding coconuts is one of 20-year-old Eurasian eagle owl Forrest’s favorite enrichments behind the scenes, and he’s not shy about letting you know it. From dramatic screeches to full-on head swivels, Forrest brings the drama just in time for #OwlAwarenessDay. 🦉

I like 2 mainly because the animations on the "about me" section in 1 was a bit over the top.

Is the blue text supposed to overlap the image here? It's hard to read.

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

X post by @nobushiromasaki. JP text: カムチャッカ半島付近の大地震（M8.0）による津波、日本各地にも1m程度の津波が来るという注意報が出てる。侮らないで。1mは、ふつうに自動車が流されるレベルです。画像は拾い物だけど、これが本当だから。沿岸地域の方、特に気をつけて！

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.

The landlord gutting America’s hospitals Medical Properties Trust buys up hospitals and then leases them back to health care systems. Dozens of its hospitals have gone belly up.

One reason so many American hospitals are struggling? Investors buy them up, then suck them dry, charging such high rents that services are gutted.

I'm not a Miller fan tho so maybe that's why I wouldn't recommend his work.

But, how many 45 year old movies or music albums would you recommend to somebody today? Older works don't always resonate with people with modern tastes.

I get what you're saying about sharing things that worked for you. But, Miller's Daredevil run is hard for me to recommend. It's ~45 years old, full of cheesy storytelling and was Miller's first time as writer / artist so he was finding his style still. It's influential but modern books are better.

I always ask what movies they like then try to recommend similar comics.
