Ben @propofoletal.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I was not aware about this change untill today.

Ben @propofoletal.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I had been thinking about these parallels well before this article. Our current interactions with LLMs remind me of how this was imagined in older science fiction, such as Blade Runner (1982), where Harrison Ford’s character converses with a computer about an android. 100
