Dick became convinced Lem was some group of Communist spies working under the name and tried to set the feds on him.

Dick did a shit ton of speed, easy to imagine THE MAN is after you

"In September 1974, the FBI received a letter. The accusations in the letter were shocking – it told of a communist conspiracy aimed at the hearts and minds of America through propaganda in the subtle guise of science fiction. Major science-fiction publishers and organisations had been infiltrated, and their agents, notable figures in the genre, were abroad in the West. The orchestrator of it all was a communist committee, acting under the name... Stanisław Lem."

just had a look at the fragment posted above, it's twice as dense in polish.
it's a curious speculative take on LLMs I got to say. it's like they are surveying the field of potential by branching out etymologies as much as possible, which is something that I guess normally happens once you're trying to find a word to describe a new phenomena or object. except here reversed. fun enough.

taking girl to day in the city.... and adventure suggestions @sus and dil

 

[dilbert1]

Go to the Russian Turkish bath house in the East Village and impress her with your endurance in the cold pool. I stunned my homeboys with multiple one-minute stints while they tapped out after hardly ten seconds. Impressed by your shivering cold body, she’ll drape a towel right over her hero and ask how you got so strong. Be sure to whimper a bit while you’re in there, they love that too

 

[dilbert1]

Then to Thai Diner on Delancey, get the snapper, its extra spicy but very delicious. All this swinging between temperature extremes is sure to have some kind of effect on both of you

Sounds like I’m joking but those are two of my favorite things to do in the city

@kid charlemagne do this

 

[sus]

It's very good advice. Shockingly good

 

[sus]

Wall Street Baths are fun too

Make sure to choose a co ed day though. At either bath. The schedules are tricky. Phone call slash online research. Some days are men only or women only

And make reservations at Thai Diner. That place fills up

Metrograph Cinema, with cocktails in the lounge beforehand, ain't bad.

But tell us more about what kinda girl she is, Kid
