From back when we thought silicon valley were the good guys working to prevent a dystopian future and deliver a better one.

RIP Marshall Brain. He was a great man. And quite befitting the peculiar name.

It really makes me think. Honestly the Manna system has only just since the LLM discovery been possible, whereas it seemed a bit farfetched to me 15 years ago when I first read it. It would be pretty easy to roll today’s “AI” into a product to replace fast food managers like in that story.
