Every time I read crazy #LLM shit like 0, it reminds me of the #LenieClark madness in #PeterWatts’ #Rifters trilogy.
My mind keeps going, Damn! He called it close to two decades ago!
A running series of Peter’s thoughts on this shit is here - 1

the fact that i’m no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don’t; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

All prose is fiction
“It occurs to me that to read everything, including the news, like a novel—to be cognizant and accepting of discontinuities and conflicts, of multiple interpretations, of symbol that sits alongside more objective truths—is maybe the skill we most need to employ in navigating the world of news today, when there is so much news, and so few ways of making it all cohere.”
