The story of Ella was an example of a chatbot working badly. It was also an example of a chatbot working wonderfully. Not once was a landlord’s silence disturbed by this woman and her problems. She was not even a person in the database, but a hysterical pronoun. And how apt, in the end, for her troubles to divert to us, a group of poets and novelists hired specifically for our feelings, who could feel for her endlessly but do nothing else, as we did not know the landlord’s name or how to reach him and lived very far away.

I’m just waiting for him to say “dark tech” in the new podcast. He’ll find a reason to, I’m sure of it.
There’s a new empanada place that opened up here, every time I pass it I think of that podcast & Stafford Beer :D
Anyone tried using this?

Oh, this is really cute! It reminds me a lot of the long sigfiles folks used to have on USENET.
There’s a part II which has been published too.
Way cool. I’d love to see a Fennel version.
Oh, this is great. It’s like
