This passage in @nealstephenson.bsky.social's "The Diamond Age" from 1995 caught my eye. Perhaps we should be talking about pseudo-intelligence (PI) instead of AI.

Caught one of the last days of Luna Luna in NYC. Truly amazing, and almost shocking to see such a joyful collection of work from well-known artists of the late 80s. Highly recommended if it comes to your town

Fantastic show last night from X (and surprise opener Jon Spencer!). What a treat to bring my kid to see a band I've been listening to since I was a teenager. Older, wiser, but still tearing it up.
