In an earlier post today I made a reference to the ”Tears in rain” monologue from Blade Runner which, naturally, lead me to its Wikipedia page and had me reading it to myself multiple times, hearing Rutger Hauer’s voice in my head. In doing so, I made a connection to a post about Pluribus for a few weeks ago where I argued that creation was the one thing the hive-mind, a stand-in for generative AI, couldn’t do. Viewed through a certain lens, Roy Batty shows his humanity – not only in showing compassion but also – in actually creating. He used his last breaths to create a poem.
