Joseph Weissenbaum, who didn't live to see the Transformers era of LLMs and all the stuff we're going through right now, do you think he would have used ChatGPT and been sort of thrilled by how successfully it pulled off the game that he was trying to play 60 years ago? Or would he be running around screaming to everybody about how the apocalypse has come and all of the things he's been warning about losing our humanity has all come to pass? What do you think he would make of the LLM moment in technology right now?

All right, that's it for the show. Thank you to David and Mark for being here and thank you as always for watching and listening. If you have thoughts, feedback, questions, any of that, I wanna hear all of it. I think 1960s technology speaks to us today in really interesting ways and I wanna know how it made you feel.

And by the way, we'll put a link in the show notes to all of the Eliza archaeology project that these guys have been talking about, including the recreated interactive Eliza. It's fascinating. And I think your mind might be as blown as mine was by how well the thing does its job.
