Filling out my Anthropic settlement claim at the last minute because I’m conflicted. Did I give AI permission to steal my work?? No. Is this enough money to make us square?? No. Do I still want the money? I guess. But also fuck you LLMs and your criminal thieving ways.

It’s piling up in Boston. Shoveling just enough so the dog has a place to pee!

Ghost pipes from White Mountain National Forest. Monotropia uniflora. Also called corpse flower. Emily Dickinson’s favorite flower. No sun, no photosynthesis. Doubly parasitic (or resourceful); lives off fungi that live off tree roots. A flower that “could not see to see.”
