She passed away too young like 20 years ago... in retrospect she may have been one of, if not the only, one of my teachers that identified me correctly as neurodivergent.

I had a teacher put that in my hands at 15 and as a kid who had undiagnosed adhd and had spent my life curious about meditation and shit whew... the way that rewired my brain and opened me up to whole new categories of thought. Same teacher put Zen and Motorcycle on the summer reading assignment

That they are developing robots to work in nursing homes and not radioactive mines or shit humans cannot do safely - and not work humans could do better than a machine is how you know their priorities are all out of whack.

Robots are cool, but have we tried just paying caregivers more?

They DO! If they were a set at $50 my pre-order would be past tense.

I do, of course, have a paragraph from "Why We Fear AI" for this
An LLM is an abstraction over the status quo (or rather, the text of the status quo) that has, at its core, no other aim than producing more text that is just like the text already in existence. One result is that the dominant ideas, the dominant textual patterns of our time, are recast as “intelligence” per se. We might call the complex mass of concepts and ideas, the channels into which ideas flow often and easily, or the boundaries of what is reasonable to debate in so-called “polite society”—the dominant ideology of an age. An age’s dominant ideology tends to presuppose that the power of that age is natural; the hallmark of ideology, in this sense, is that it is easy to recognize only when it’s past its time. We may no longer think that an almighty god appointed a king to rule us, that women are naturally unfit to vote, or that sex outside of a heterosexual marriage is immoral. But at various times, to think otherwise (to think of replacing the monarchy with a republic, to affirm that women are people, or being in favor of sexual or gay liberation) was the far more difficult, even dangerous thought—if not to have, then at the very least to put in writing. Ideology, of course, is never complete, other thoughts are always possible. But ideology is easy to think, it’s what our thoughts are already marinated in. And hence, ideology will be dominant in the textual patterns of an age. Seen in this light, what is called “intelligence” in a language model, is really that—ideology as a thing that can pretend to be a person.
