  • The extreme urban decay of the 90s is to the extreme urban decay of the 20s just as Office Spaces hell of office cubes and meaningless work is to the deeper, darker hell of gig work and poverty.

    Shit was shit, its just that shit wasn't as shit as it is now.

    I brought up how Office Space is supposed to be about a hellish environment.. I've never had a cubical to myself, or a computer I can leave at work at 5pm. Its 2026 and I find myself wishing for the hell that Peter finds himself in, as its far, far more comfortable than the hell we have now.

  • I mean, in reality I wont be flying to the US until some major reforms are made, shits wack and dangerous as fuck.

    For many now, mentally, the united states is in the same bucket as casual travel to russia, somalia or north korea.

  • Its because he's just been sticking his name and plated gold onto crap for decades. His brand is all he has, but someone doesn't seem to realise how radioactive it is.

    Like hell am I, a european, flying into DJT. I'd rather fly through JFK and catch clap from a toilet seat.

  • Arch is kinda more like looking at a catalogue of parts.

    Endevour is the same catalogue of parts, but with a flier inserted with a "recommmended loadout" where you can just check some boxes and get whatever it was you wanted, but the doors there to sawzall the trunk off and attach a cargo box if you want.

  • Can we have a button to filter out the AI shite peddlers please?

    I got excited seeing "EURouter" and "OpenRouter" as maybe an alternative to Unifi but its just AI middleware shite, and its promoted to the front page.

  • May I also strongly suggest The Culture Series.

    It answers the "what if the (real) AI singularity happens" but instead of the typical "and then we all die" its just that the Minds are actually just cool with us. And I realised after about 4 of the books that the humans are like pets for this curious hyper-intelligences that kinda enable the humans to become better people, if at the loss of some cultural identity.

    The Culture is The Borg, but you want to join them because their shit is dope. The luxuries and comforts of The Culture leading to the demise of other societies as they absorb in.

    It also explores a lot of interventionism (or when not to) in some of the stories. One is a short story set at the time of the cold war. Which is interesting since earth barely ever is relevant in The Culture novels. Its just another backwater that has pre-spacefaring humanoids on it.

    It explores a lot of quite dope concepts, and the visual imagery of the destruction of Vavatch Orbital, and down in the tunnels on Schar's World happening in Consider Phlebas.

    The realisation I had a few days later that it went past me that the god that inhabits Schar's world wasn't even the one to create it, this god-like-being is like a hermit crab and just wants to be left alone.

    The way that seeing space from a starships perspective was described in Excession when one of the humans is basically given Meat Fucker/Grey Area's perception was dope.

    Its some damn strong good scifi with hopium undercurrents even while entire societies perish (willingly, intentionally). As VR simulations of sentient life is created to give societies a real hell to send people to. As people live and die whole lives inside the VR hell to break in and then break out to prove its existence to bring about its destruction. The unsettling creeping sensation of realising you're in a simulation, but not because the simulation is imperfect, but because at the bottom of your vision, in big block red letters, it reads "SIMULATION". Or in a moment where we're looking through a soldiers eyes as we slowly realise he's a human mind re-bodied into a turret during a simulated battle. Or later, when the same soldier is squeezing through the cracks in between grains of sand and rock as an amoeba.

    I was also high as fuck while reading a lot of this series.

    I could espouse its praises for hours, but it would be quicker to read the novels.
