“I have a working program now that I use to draft email replies. Unfortunately, they're way too agreeable. They keep trying to, like, get me to agree to, like, speak at things in Kazakhstan and, like, sure. I would love to, like, you know, edit your, you know, self published book about AI consciousness.

And we get, we're at the bottom of all the outcomes.”
