I look at the hubris of these AI companies and recall a Panchatantra fable I read as a kid about several narcissistic scholars who use their advanced knowledge to bring a lion to life and get what's coming to them.

In 1984, the masterpiece by Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, was first published in France. It is a novel centered on the Prague Spring of 1968 and on a people’s hope for freedom.

Have we truly understood what Kundera was trying to tell us? I believe we have not.

Was writing a script for Wastelandia and ended up writing a tangent on the Jataka Tales and Panchatantra, the two proto Aesop fables which originated in the Indian Subcontinent and formed the backbone of arguably our longest standing narrative tradition. This is your brain on Wastelandia.
