This is hilarious. And depressing! It reminds me of a point I made last year: that while "AI is Weird," that weirdness is always in a complex relationship with the banal. Weird and Banal are the new polarity!
This piece made me get PKD in a new way. I hadn't seen the 'spiritual subversive' in him before... I guess he oscillated between some kind of ragged faith (of the 'negative capability' variety) and
a despairing nihilism...But I had mainly felt more the latter in his work...Thank you!

This is just far out! PKD has such an amazing imagination. Always my favorite SCI Fi author, he molded my mind in such grand
novelty, I not recovered yet. 😆
