Now my temporary Boomer neighbor is blasting AI narrated (and scripted?) conspiracy theory videos about Jerusalem and Armageddon and I feel like I am living in a #PhillipKDick novel.
Read "How To Build An Android" really interesting. There is also a documentary.
They built a chatbot with all PKD's interviews, books and lectures. It was pretty special.
Then the twist.
A true #Xfile
“Dick’s published output — at least 35 novels and countless short stories — ranges from sublime to inscrutable, which is partly a result of volume. His book advances were skimpy and there was a family to support, so he wrote quickly, often fueled by amphetamine tablets. (Dick’s typing speed: 120 words per minute.) If you’re a stickler for prose style and hold a zero-tolerance policy toward the word “boobies,” this is not your fellow.”
Whenever I think of #AI and #LLMs hallucinating, I think of #PKD.

@openculture who would have thought such a blockbuster movie franchise would have followed #thematrix when we were reading back in the 70s. #phillipkdick #SF
