Totally fell asleep in this position at the acupuncturist. White noise, dark room.

So yes, comfortable enough to sleep with. So if you have a partner who is not CC sharing your bed. This totally gets the job done.

I am increasingly convinced that LLM is not the future of AI. It will be interesting to watch what is next in generative AI. Was chatting with my tech bro dh last night. He says I am thinking too small. It won't be 5 years to transformative change. It will be <18 mos in tech.

This kind of thinking is what led to the 1883 Chinese Exclusion Act which was the only ethnic group to be excluded from immigration to the U.S.
