This? Still? After everything?

Buddy, you're living in the future. In a science fiction novel. Please get used to it.

If there is one thing I have realized after reading quite a few science fiction books, it is that I don't want to live in any one them - not one.

Unfortunately, there are enough people in the world who think that is the future everyone should live in and are actively working to bring it about.

And so, one must adapt. .

I find this suprising kinda. If I got a choice right now, there's a bunch of dystopian Scifi that I would instantly go for (out of sheer curiosity), e.g. the Murderbot universe.

Are there fantasy worlds that you would want to live in? I feel this is a bit of a suspect benchmark in the first place because books typically want some kind of tension/conflict which you won't get if everyone is just gratefully living their best life.

Alan Dean Foster created some very appealing universes.

The novel title: "Don’t Build The Torment Nexus".

It's good to think about where you're going, but you also have to keep track of where you are.

(Also, getting people to think about the future rather than the present is a classic con. Looking at an empty field: "can't you just see the potential here?")

Wonder about this aspect:

We have been trying to warn you since far, far before May 2023.

Do you have Jews in that there attic?

Do you post this comment on every single blogpost with a corporate domain? Why or why not?

As the waves of autonomous drones came over the horizon, the brave and intelligent HN commenter shouted: "Wake up sheeple! It's just maaaaarketing!"

As the agi nurse fails to wipe his ass the intelligent HN commenter shouted: "You're moving the goalposts. You never said it needs to wipe my ass SUCCESFULLY"

In the space-based datacenter? LOL

Your coding agent is also a very real-world version of the paperclip optimization thought experiment, yes. Have you never seen it reward hacking? Editing tests to pass instead of fixing the code?

It knows what you want, it can even tell you, and it absolutely doesn't give a shit.

Who're they subcontracting for the Von Neumann probes?
