I think Kubrick would have loved your post! Brian Aldiss, who wrote the original short story, worked with Kubrick during the movie's early development. At one point, Kubrick had seriously considered if he could get a robot to act as David. I suspect if he made AI today, he'd spend a lot of time training an AI to be the AI in his AI movie.

That's kind of you to say, James! I do really wish Kubrick would've lived long enough to make his version. I bet you're right though. He would've found a way to co-opt the technology into a commentary on itself.

I did get the feeling that ChatGPT was roasting me with that intro. 😂

"because I will never ask a robot to write my newsletter for me again."

Totally something a robot would say to trick us. Not today Satan!

This is perhaps the best newsletter you’ve ever published. I think you should adopt the signout “keep the dust off your vcr and your curiosity alive” for all future newsletters 🫠

That was...maybe the part I hated the least. 😂
