HGDMFBD!
This was delightfully, poignantly, and intricately fucked up :)))
I think I'll move Luda to the top of the reading pile.
Some stray thoughts and associations FWIW:
"I've never met an uninteresting person." - James Joyce
The overwhelming reality of the true and real multiverse we encounter wherever people gather is rendered invisible by its ubiquity.
Even right where we are sitting now, Timothy Leary would have called this "Neuro-electric Contelligence," but here it's just Saturday morning.
Like that old chestnut, if you didn't experience "enlightenment"(neuro-atomic fusion) you wouldn't experience anything at all!
Also! As people correctly dissect and parse LLM machinations, distinguishing their ontological status from that of true intelligence, I notice a vague similarity to how Buddhists deconstruct our experience of intrinsic selfhood with the five skandhas.
Thrown stones, glass houses, etc, et al, ibid!
