Note to self: don't upload brain into computer. This was a great story, and I loved when the real doctor realized he was in the computer. I'd be upset too, honestly.

I think that if you asked me in 2013 when we'd have LLMs like we have today, I would have boldly guessed 2023. If you had asked me in 2015, though, I might have said 2030. If you asked in 2017, I might have guessed 2035 or something. Things didn't look great for a while, but now all of a sudden, they do.

I was really, really into this space back then. I guess I still am, but it's more a component of how important AI is to everything right now. The moment of change is certainly upon us, whether we're ready for it or not!

Excellent tale, creepy and the hints were subtle. Bravo!
