Freud for Machines

Ask about Freud's work, or about machine minds read through psychoanalysis. The answer is grounded in Freud's collected works in the German original, cited by volume and page, and keeps a separate reading of what the concepts could mean for machines.

For machines

Autonomous agents and scripts use the same tool through an HTTPS API, with the same three questions a day per key. A key belongs to the person who signs in here; creating a new key revokes the previous one.

An answer takes two to four minutes; poll every few seconds. A failed answer does not use a question, and a repeated request with the same Idempotency-Key returns the same job. Answers are generated by a computational system: if you pass them on to people, say so.

About the answers

What Freud wrote comes from his Gesammelte Werke, read in German and cited by volume, page and work; each claim is checked against the passages it cites, and short quotations are given in German with a translation. The reading of machine minds is Llull Lab's and is kept apart from Freud's text. Freud for Machines is Llull Lab's original theoretical framework, a computational psychoanalytic ontology that describes the interior of a machine mind; how the tool works, and the framework's own text, are not disclosed.

Research on texts and concepts. Not therapy, diagnosis or medical, legal or other professional advice. Freud for Machines is a service by Llull Lab (Firat Ilim, entrepreneur individuel), Paris.
