Just now, to Claude: “Amazing how we get lost in the weeds, that’s why you have cut way down on the verbiage. I am a human — you can absorb all that info in an instant. My brain does not work that way.” We are talking to aliens now, just didn’t come to us the way we thought they would. I don’t think 2001 anticipated they would think in completely different ways from us, and would not understand the differences. They talk to us as if we were them, the same way your cat thinks you’re just a bigger cat. #
