The "How it was made" section of the README was not less interesting than the tool itself:

> The way we have set things up is that we live and practice together on a bit over a hundred acres of land. In the mornings and evenings we chant and meditate together, and for about one week out of every month we run and participate in a meditation retreat. The rest of the time we work together on everything from caring for the land, maintaining the buildings, cooking, cleaning, planning, fundraising, and for the past few years developing software together.

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.
