Thereās a real link between AI writing and Silicon Valley meal replacement drinks and the entire fuckin swath of maximizing the human experience and itās that they view pleasure as being unhelpful to life. I donāt want a drink that replaces a meal, I donāt want a book summary, I want to savor things

So far, John Cage has sold best with Le Guin and Feynman close behind. Now I've added Simone to the mix.
