I turned Unix talk from 1983 into the interface for my AI
Summary
Andros Fenollosa builds a playful bridge between the classic Unix talk interface and modern AI by routing a talk session over VPN into an AI API through a pseudo-terminal. The setup uses pyte to render a virtual screen and streams AI responses token-by-token, turning a 40-year-old communication tool into a live AI interface. He frames the project as a toy demonstration rather than a production solution, highlighting both the charm and limitations of reviving legacy tools for AI experimentation.
