when i was 3 or 4 i got separated from my family at an amusement park and a man found me and helped reunite me with them. however, he was an elvis impersonator and did not break character the entire time and i’ve been terrified of elvis ever since
this and the following in the thread are unreasonable and unworkable. You can only do so much by repeatedly having 'the talk' with potential grad students and are asking for something to be communicated that you note cannot be grasped in "the fullest, deepest, most vital sense."
I don't think it's a failure of faculty mentors that they don't manage to kill the little voice in your head that makes exceptions for yourself. Plenty of students think "Yes yes the job market is awful and getting a job is mostly luck... but it'll be ok for me :) "

AI companies be like: We are going to fund a UBI 🤗🤗. Or kill you 👉👈.
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

The Haida Nation is re-building bear dens that #oldgrowth logging took away: “It takes hundreds of years for a cedar to grow wide enough and decay naturally to make a den. The bears can’t wait until the year 2300 for a place to sleep.” cheknews.ca/logging-took-the…
