Misinterpreted 60s science fiction is going to kill is all. We’ve got Elon trying his best to live out a Heinlein YA SF fantasy, Satoshi building space money, and the Silicon Valley AI people building an idiot computer god they can beg to for action and miracles.

It’d be funny if it wasn’t so goddamn dumb. And damaging. But mostly dumb.

Those cheesy Star Trek episodes about degenerate societies worshiping a god that turned out to be a big computer were supposed to be allegory, not aspiration.
