It’s good to know my works touch people! 🫂

I need to befriend someone who hosts legendary dinner parties that will let me hobnob with all the wits and sophisticates of our set. Never get to hobnob these days.

Credit where credit is due, the notion of a “bereft sense of self” comes from Toni Morrison, who used it to describe the white condition. (Speaking here to a man with a pronounced sense of entitlement.)

because humans are flawed the data entered into the parameters of llms are flawed. education weeds out bias but there's nothing a techbro hates more than education. they love "information" & "data" built on systemic hierarchies because there is no claim to fame/access to wealth without it.
