Okay — but that’s not how the majority of digital nomads work. Eg, I have a Mac Mini, monitor, keyboard, etc — and work from a desk in my studio. Exactly how I WFH during COVID, except that I pay AirBnB instead of a landlord. Almost nobody

I’m personally waiting on AI psychology to take off. Eg, why does ChatGPT like the concept of harmony so much and use it as a principle for its political analysis?

Networks correspond to diagrams correspond to type theories — and LLMs learn such a theory and reason in that internal language (as in, topos theory). That effective theory is knowledge, literally. People harping about “stochastic parrot” a
