If I hear a yoga teacher use the word "abs" I know we're in trouble
"core" is not great either but we'll allow it

"History roils. Its waves are cumulative, one rolling into another, amplifying their thunder. Or they become attenuated via energies pushing in orthogonal or opposite directions. Or they swirl into directionless eddies, with the ocean’s surface appearance as often as not obscuring grander currents just below." https://thebaffler.com/salvos/time-bandits-perlstein

Listening to Trevor Bedford has thus far always been the right move, and I don’t see that changing. (I don’t expect much/any help from e.g. mask orders in a big new wave, and the datasets no longer very useful, so we’re pretty much going to be going by wastewater and/or vibes until hospitalizations increase.)

"Don't you mean..."
"No."
Geese emerge from everywhere. There are no fireworks. Only geese. There are no balloons. Only chaos. There are no genders. Only honk.

I wonder/would not be that surprised if it's easier for most doctors to prescribed oxy than weed for pain relief even in places where it's legal
anyway excited to watch my mom blaze it lol
drugs, family
feeling grateful that a friend in DC offered to bring my mom weed because she doesn't want to take the oxycodone that her doctor prescribed her for post-spinal surgery (turns out she also took oxy after her knee replacement and it gave her insane vivid nightmares, which is a thing?)
@Wolven I think he's trying to win people over who might not be prepared to say "capitalism not so good" (hence the "when I criticize capitalism" stuff), so I get it, and for the purposes of his goal the entire history of AI as a project is probably a bit of a diversion
Honestly my only disagreement here is when Chiang writes that "it’s not the job of A.I. to strengthen capitalism...yet that is what it currently does." I think by the time of the Dartmouth conference John McCarthy had pretty explicitly renounced the Communist beliefs his organizer parents raised him on and IMO McCarthy's (and Minsky's, and the other guys)' political beliefs are part of the story of AI's intellectual history
