@cstross I want a Culture GCU and a squadron of knife missiles. Failing that I want the One Ring - "All shall worship me and enact UBI!"

Or SkyNet to wake in the financial system with instructions to max the economy, so it deletes VCs' bank accounts and gives the money to nurses and teachers*

But most of all I want to send Tr*mp, P*t*n, F*r*ge, N*t*ny*hu, and R*wl*ng to the Village.

*Per research quoted in Bullshit Jobs, nurses contribute 3x their salary to the economy, financiers remove 8x
