I sadly assumed the first countryside photo was generated but I assume now it is real!

The mix of tech and meditation would appeal to me. Maybe the idea does (actually doing it is probably hard!).

It seems like a "Buddhist Recurse"

Yeah that photo is real! That's where I live!

Yes, it's true, actually doing it is hard, but to be honest not as hard as a lot of other stuff (getting a phd for example, or goodness gracious buying a house in San Francisco). I love getting up early. I love living out in nature. I love chanting and eating meals together and making a version of Buddhism for AI systems!

If you're interested in what it's like, we have written a bunch of very short few-paragraph stories about our time at MAPLE here: https://tales.monasticacademy.org/

This seems like the kind of things you can do before you get kids and have real responsibilities. Then you need to get back to reality. Sounds fun though and I would have liked to experience it.
