Alright well. I'm off to get ready to go grocery shopping with my girl. It's her first time shopping for herself in her own place. I made her a menu and shopping list to get her going. We'll prolly even grab some lunch.
Maybe having grown kids isn't so bad.

Fuck off, Altman. No one wants your snake oil.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Though the provenance of the belief is questionable, I have always liked the idea that you are not truly gone until the last time someone speaks your name. With this in mind I will sometimes speak a name, just to myself, and take a moment to remember someone so that, if only in me, they live on.

It is done. Please send me kind vibes to salve my aching heart.
My girl is moving out today. She's done everything right. Picked a good, safe, and affordable location. Saved up, bought heself a 'trousseau', and has found a lovely, responsible, gainfully employed roommate. She got her utilities hooked up and is purchasing a washer & dryer.

Some sads are just sad. There's nothing you can do. No amount of distraction or busy work can help you ignore it. Not even a lifetime of compartmentalizing comes thru for you. You just have to let it wash over you, let the tears ooze out, and let your heart ache. It won't be like this forever.

I've never encountered more students who say they hate reading. Students who want to be teachers, writers, or both. I wonder if "hate" means "I have trouble reading," but I also talk with so many students who write in a genre but refuse to read in it. They can't see themselves in relation to others.

Bad news: I just dropped a plate on my left big toe and it hurts like hell
Good news: neither my toe, nor the plate, are broken
Ow.

I would sleep in any haunted house for any amount of time if the money was good enough because I do not believe in ghosts or boogeymen. I do, however, believe the beds would be tiny, hard and smell of mildew and decay. Not worried about any haints, run me a check for chillin in the squalor.
