    It’s completely sick, capitalism’s obsession with cutting labor out of production taken somewhere I don’t even know how to say mean things about.

    On the plus side, though, I’m increasingly confident that my fears of these fucks perfecting terminators, wiping out the working class, and living eternally in their little New Zealand technobunkers served by a world of robots is unfounded. These toolbags have no idea what they’re doing, or they’re all trying to convince everyone else that it’s not a grift long enough to cash out.

      Looking from the outside in, making an elaborate guessing machine that narrows down what the user wanted in the first place (minus the inconvenient workers) by doing a cryptocurrency style massive waste of energy that makes a lot of waste carbon is such an insidiously apocalyptic idea that it’d have been brilliant and fun fiction if we weren’t living it right now.
