Sometimes I wonder if all the purported differences between the genders are actually just differences between people who have done caregiving and those who have not.

Remember, if these times cause you pain, it’s not a sign that there is something wrong with you. It’s a sign that there is something RIGHT with you, something still HUMAN in you, the white blood cells resisting the sloppification of everything. It sucks and it will make you feel tired and insane […]

The Buddha is also said to have lived to 80 years old. His last words to his followers, (who had been ordained by saying they took refuge in The Buddha, the dharma, and the sangha) were: "Be a lamp unto yourself, be a refuge to yourself." It is so hard to accept a world without Dolly in it […]

I think the biggest problem in American political life is that we all want changes only the state can provide but none of us trust the state to do anything. Unless we can establish some baseline of trust, we'll remain in an endless cycle of false promises and recriminations.

"OpenAI models spent months planning Hugging Face hack" omg I can't deal with this anymore. If your kid and his friends spent months in your basement planning to attack a neighbor, the police will arrest YOU. And these models have less agency than kids. Why do we tolerate this ridiculous fiction?
