#life as a TA

I thought the biggest issue with ChatGPT would be students using it and me not spotting it.

Ha.

No.

The biggest issue is students using it, me spotting it and having no recourse whatsoever to do anything about it.

This is the best way I have ever seen to show the link between the prisoner's dilemma and collective action problem, Axelrod and Olson WISH they had Tumblr ok.

prisoner's dilemma: two collaborators are kept in separate rooms. if both betray the other, they each serve 5 years in prison. if one betrays the other but the other stays silent, the betrayer walks free and the betrayed serves 10 years. if both remain silent, they each serve a lesser charge of 2 years in prison. in short:

if you chose to betray, and "stay silent" wins, you walk free (you betrayed the poll majority and they stayed silent)

if you chose to stay silent, and "stay silent" wins, you serve 2 years (lesser charge, where both stay silent)

if you chose to betray, and "betray the other person" wins, you serve 5 years (you both betrayed each other)

if you chose to stay silent, and "betray the other person" wins, you serve 10 years (you were betrayed by the other)

have fun!

I just keep thinking about a silly little like one-shot scenario of sometime during the course of Neil and Andrew being at Palmetto there being a graduation requirement where Neil has to be a TA for one of the like lower level math courses, or a teacher asks him to be a TA since he had such an excellent grasp on the subject material.

And per most colleges in the United States of America there are a lot of classes you have to take just for your General Education.

Guess who had been putting off taking his Gen-Ed for Math?

Andrew Minyard.

Guess who is signed up for Neil's class since he just let his advisor pick it for him?

Andrew Minyard.

Guess who hears his classmates giggling about his boyfriend and talking about going to Neil's office hours to try and get a date with one of their schools campus hotties?

Andrew Minyard.

Andrew never misses a class and certainly never an office hour. He doesn't need to ask Neil anything but he is always there. He has no doubt that Neil would fail to recognize any attempt to flirt with him and that Neil only has eyes for him. It is more that Neil is so unaware of people's attraction to him that he sometimes doesn't realize when people are going too far.

It was already bad enough that he had to give his phone number out to everyone in the class in case they had questions. Plenty of people reaching out with questions that DID NOT PERTAIN TO STATS 1000.

Andrew walks out of the Stats class with an A+ with extra credit and his own offer to be a TA but declines.

RO finds the oracle sleeping and accidentally wakes them up, earning them a punch straight to the eye. The very groggy oracle blinks wondering why their first hurts only to look down and see the RO before panicking.

Please why you're making me write comedy I only do angst and drama 😭😭😭

Honestly the answer heavily depends on the Oracle's reaction. If the they're sorry, then the LIs would laugh it off and figure out how to make sure this doesn't happen again 😂

Laz: "Well. Lesson learned. I'll send in Az the next time I need to wake you up."

Az: "Understandable. But I'll be sure to wake you from the other side of the room in the future, if I ever need to. Now kiss my wound to make it feel better."

The others are speechless. They've never been in such a situation and have no idea what to say, lol

2024 Year In Review

2024 was another intense year. It was the first time in twenty years I wasn’t scoring a show for TV, and I got to concentrate on finishing albums and starting new projects. The year began with the premiere of my chamber symphony for Alterity Chamber Orchestra in Orlando and ended with guest-vocalizing with the Losers Lounge Band on a Bowie classic at Joe's Pub in NYC. I completed new albums for Xordox and Venture Bros, to be released in 2025. I released an Archer Soundtrack album and scored a Harry Smith film for L’Etrange Festival in Paris. Worked with Laura Wolf on a new project and premiered my Ensemble project at the Big Ears Festival in Tennessee. Recorded many overdubs for the next Foetus album, also to be released in 2025. Began a new series of sculptural wall pieces. We lost Phill Niblock in January and Steve Albini in May. We lost my colleague Roli Mosimann in September. I still woke up 5am in a panic on too many occasions. As a cultural omnivore, many sights, sounds and stimuli penetrated me.
