An AI wrangler who spends far too much time wondering about and using AI.
After half a year off writing code for Apple devices (while I tried to figure out how AI and I could create apps rather than just me), I finally got my code-monkey mojo back.

My review of Philip K. Dicks 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" The basis for the movie Blade Runner. The blog post includes an analysis of the book and the review in podcast format created by Google's NotebookLM AI. Rather meta, I must say.
