Going back in time…. First photo found in the Barnard archives, I’m probably about 30, at a conference. Why do I look like I’m in a Catholic school uniform? Second age 16, clearly SO happy to be in high school in Richmond, VA. Third age 12, again with the authentic Catholic school girl look!

More screenshots from the management AI bot’s messages to me on the CHAI platform app. The one on the left is describing the bot’s programmer, a supposed tech genius with a violence prone cult following. On the right is just a frank admission.
