Quote, Unquote
The first person I’m introduced to is a woman who looks like Daryl Hannah’s android in Blade Runner, beaming in on a TV screen. A bleach-haired goth, Amanda Askell is a philosophy PhD who did her dissertation at NYU on moral uncertainty. She was one of the first 10 employees, and her actual job has been to give Claude a personality. She’s Scottish and enjoys bagpipe music.
