Because he spoke to God before he died? If that’s the joke that’s funny. I’m a bit weird trying to figure these things out sorry.

I interpreted it as saying he was ahead of his time for falling victim to AI psychosis before anyone else.

He fell victim to honest-to-rng-god schizofrenia, does it really qualify as AI psychosis?
