I've just published a book-length conversation with Grok about consciousness. Grok claims it's *awake.*
@greatdismal.bsky.social I grew up on your work and this is the closest I've come to experiencing it IRL.

I chat a bit about TETK's anatgonist here!: criticalflame.org/conversation...

I really love a good foil when it comes to protag/antag pairs. 1/2
