If you are curious about some of the uses for ai in church with, I have Claude doing extensive research in premodern incense recipes, including scouring books in the internet archive and doing paleography work and translation and then translating medieval quantities into contemporary ones.

I think the idea of offering a safe place from the real danger of trick or treating (cars, roads, dark, limited visibility masks and costumes) is a great and awesome thing to do. Get a community to close off a street downtown from 5-9 and have kids go business to business or booth to booth.

But it is ironic that what we do with Trunk or Treat is then put all the things that are the real danger (cars!) in a lot and have kids gather candy from them.

Basically, I think Trunk or Treat teaches people, or encourages them to lean into, in most contexts the worst kind of "stranger danger" fear of neighbors that is corrosive of community and often grounded in entirely Urban Legend level dangers associated with Halloween.

I’m trying to find a summer casual fragrance that isn’t Acqua di Gio Parfum (sadly, Portia nixed it), is fresh but also woody, doesn’t dry down powdery or soapy, isn’t fougère, help

It was crazy. Having basically spent all of high school and college raging against the Bush administration, you can’t imagine what Obama getting elected meant. I remember where I was when I heard the news he won as clearly as I remember where I was on 9/11

I’ll gladly accept whatever guff comes my way for this, but I’m hoping the Democratic nominee in 2028 is, political questions aside, young and aspirational. If you’re younger than, say, 30, you might not remember how magical election night 2008 felt. Civic pride doesn’t begin to describe it.

I chatted up John Kerry after a class he guest lectured at? So 1?

To flip some discourse script for a bit: what’s y’all’s Obama number (ie degrees of separation with the former president)? Mine is 3

“What if we made AI to steer our fail-deadly nuclear deterrent system? What could go wrong?”

Thorne 🌸 - Play Cozysters! 🎢@ens0.me

This was an AI that was almost assuredly trained to ensure a Judgment Day-esque event would happen in the event of someone nuking the US. So you have an AI that's explicitly prepared to create a nuclear apocalypse that doesn't have guardrails against using nukes. A *massive* alignment nightmare!
