  • I am reminded of a very 90s Full House joke, wherein the annoying next door neighbor girl studies for her driver’s test and passes. She is amazed that you can read up on potential test questions and then know them when they are asked on the test. She then asks “I wonder if you could do the same thing for tests in high school?” as if studying never occurred to her.

    I feel like the concept of “studying the most pressing issues of the day and preparing responses” some people don’t even consider, as all Trump has done since 2016 is just ad-lib all responses.







  • Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests

  • In the 60s they had pressurize tubes running to your table with the food. But the person putting it into the tube had to know what table your were sitting at. 70s came around and the process of just yelling out the person’s name to come up and get it was found to be more efficient. Don’t see how this could be more cost efficient than that - unless it is at a fancy restaurant. Then there are other jobs that the waiter does beside transporting food.
