I mean OF COURSE Laurie Anderson created a GPT of Lou Read. I love her discussion of it. I’m also aware that many (most?) would struggle with technology explicitly intended to “speak” to dead people.

A big thing I have changed my mind about over the last few years is the importance of efficiency. I hate that I was such a sucker. I bought in. I joined the cult.

Being slow, having time to think, having your own thoughts, disconnecting, not being tethered to a device – these are luxuries.
