“Surprisingly, bonsai began in China around 2000 years ago and were brought to Japan and Korea where it was developed into the Japanese art form we know today. Typically kept under four feet in height, bonsai translates from Japanese to “tree planted in a container.” Common bonsai species include Ficus, Juniper and Japanese maple, but there are hundreds of trees that can be grown and refined into bonsai!” By Greta Engel
I did have a Bonsai once— it’s definately an art to care for the beautiful plant.

“Very controlled and intelligent her voice now, controlled and intent, and her eyes still glittering. Yes you do, she says.
You've fallen in love with someone, and you're afraid. T's the usual thing, you don't like being vulnerable. And I suppose on top of that, she's not a very suitable person. She has no money, and she puts up these pictures online, maybe you think people are laughing at you. And you're looking back on how things were when you and I were together, how easy everything was, and everyone was jealous of us, and you just want that back again. For life to be easy. What happened between us the other day, I can see now, you did that because you wanted an exit strat-egy. Maybe not consciously, I don't know, but in the back of your mind. You were looking for a way out with Naomi.”

An alluring Irish voice narrates the audible — just saying. I read it last year— love rereading & listening. It’s about 2 brothers and the women they love. One brother is a chess genius who falls in love for the first time and his older lawyer brother who loves a college student and his ex girlfriend at the same time— his ex can’t be intimate in certain ways anymore due to a terrible accident.

Hi ☺️
“I made my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies
From heel to throat;
But the fools caught it,
Wore it in the world’s eyes
As though they’d wrought it.
Song, let them take it
For there’s more enterprise
In walking naked.”

“Eliza Griswold is a poet and reporter whose work has appeared in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, the New York Times Magazine, Harper's, and the New Republic. Her books include the poetry collection Wideawake Field (2007) and the non-fiction title The Tenth Parallel (2010), which examines Christianity and Islam in Asia and Africa. In 2010, Griswold won the Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome for her poetry, and in 2011, The Tenth Parallel received the Anthony J. Lukas award. A former Nieman Fellow in Journalism at Harvard, Griswold is currently a senior fellow at the New American Foundation, a nonpartisan public policy institute.” https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/eliza-griswold

2023-11-22 18:28:53 UTC

“The first person is often excised from journalism, which is one of Griswold’s many mediums; she recently won a Pulitzer Prize for her book “Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America,” a work of nonfiction centered on life in a small Appalachian town. She has also written and theorized about the hot zone between the equator and the tenth parallel, and recorded the poetry of Pashtun women in Afghanistan. Where Griswold’s journalism is immersive and adventurous, “First Person” is wry and intimate, sophisticated and all her own—imagining the adventure that is being.”

Always loved this poem for the matrix sound.
SINGER FUTURA
I is instinct gone awry.
Sugar, speed, near death, she loved
to limn oblivion, thrived
off the grid, since the grid
was fraught with dead ideas
of what a life should be.
In her inherited America,
mothers don't risk
their skins. They monogram and fold.

Lunch quote; Lunch break & bored— so I’m rereading a section of Bostrom’s book— obviously comprehending this from a philosophical point of view vs. someone who creates in the field— but I find it deeply engrossing.
“Another point, which counts against some types of oracles and genies, is that there are risks involved in designing a superintelligence to have a final goal that does not fully match the outcome that we ultimately seek to attain. For example, if we use a domesticity motivation to make the superintelligence want to minimize some of its impacts on the world, we might thereby create a system whose preference ranking over possible outcomes differs from that of the sponsor. The same will happen happen if we build the AI to place a peculiarly high value on answering questions correctly, or on faithfully obeying individual commands. Now, if sufficient care is taken, this should not cause any problems: there would be sufficient agreement between the two rankings—at least insofar as they pertain to possible worlds that have a reasonable chance of being actualized—that the outcomes that are good by the AI’s standard are also good by the principal’s standard. But perhaps one could argue for the design principle that it is unwise to introduce even a limited amount of disharmony between the AI’s goals and ours. (The same concern would of course apply to giving sovereigns goals that do not completely harmonize with ours.)”

I’ve been a Shakira fan for a long time. “The only daughter of a jeweller in Barranquilla, Colombia, William Mebarak, and his wife, Nydia Ripoll, Shakira was born into an artistic family of Arab descent. Her precocity meant that she packed as much into her early years as most people manage in decades. At 17 months, she was reciting the alphabet; at three, she had learned to count; at four, she was belly-dancing at her Barranquilla convent school, where in the 1930s a sybaritic staff member had wanted to erect a monument to the cult of Shirley Temple. By the time she was seven, Shakira had composed her first song. When she was eight, she began writing poems, and at 10, she had written and composed original songs. Around the same time, she signed her first contract, entertaining workers at the El Cerrejon coal mines on the Atlantic coast. She hadn't even started secondary school when a record company signed her.” https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2002/jun/08/shopping.colombia
