@futurebird wait. I was assured by the AI tech bros that once the AIs started training AIs, we would zoom off to the singularity.
Frank Bennett 🇯🇵@tob @futurebird Yeah, that's when everything breaks, you can't turn on the TV or buy anything, and you starve in your home because the locks no longer work. Just like, well, almost like, well, sort of like Kurzweil predicted.

couple decades ago Bruce Sterling gave a Long Now talk about the Singularity entitled "Your Future as a Black Hole." Much of it holds up disturbingly well, with solid applications to Web 2.0, Web3, Crypto, AI, etc.

@FeralRobots @tob @futurebird I clicked through, and the site tells me my phone is too old to play the podcast. That's a shame, but also kind of the point I guess.
@fgbjr
especially given one of his quiet obsessions around that time & since has been something he calls "dead media", which is kind of self-explanatory. He'd get a chuckle out of it.
