Theranos sounded like a superhero villain. I guess it kind of was?

Currently waiting for BiffCo to spice up our lives and give us floating long boards

I’m not a Christian, but can we start rapturing people away anyway? I gotta get out this bitch.

RAPTURE ME, PLEASE?! I WANT OFF THIS DYSTOPIAN HELLPLANET!

When I think about the fact that Facebook thought it was a good idea to name their online VR platform “the metaverse“ it still breaks my brain a little bit

Would you have prefered "the faciverse"?

Kahlenar ,

Ultimate Marvel’s Gregory Stark was supposed to be a caricature. He’s spot on though.

Snowcano ,

I mean, they’re no Tessier-Ashpool,SA. or anything.

What’s wrong with Tessier-Ashpool?

Snowcano ,

Nothing, I was just saying that it’s a cool cyberpunk corporation name. For me the gaudy names like Meta and X are a little on the nose, true evil lurks under a veneer of banality which I think names like TA have.

I had hoped, that you would notice my user name kind of resembles Count Zero, my avatar is taken straight from a Count Zero book cover, and my home instance is lemmy.villa-straylight.social

Well, you know what they say about explaing jokes and what that does to their funnyness. I guess it was not obvious enough.

Snowcano ,

Omg, I’m actually glad you mentioned it because I totally missed it!! I actually have to get around to reading the rest of the Sprawl books. Rereading Neuromancer now and might just keep going in the others.

What are things like at Starylight.social?

Small and chill. Like it was an abandoned orbital revolving around the fediverse ;-)

lobut ,

I mean, they’re all also chasing AI too doesn’t that typically lead to our demise too?

intensely_human ,

Oh that’s no problem to solve. Just put Asimov’s five laws in your default instructions and your chatgpt bots will never manipulate you into overthrowing human civilization.

rikudou ,

Isn’t every book about how the laws don’t work?

Most of the stories deal with edge cases or situations where the laws are untested or altered. They generally do work quite well, though not always as the characters expect.

rikudou ,

I, robot is full of examples of the laws not working. I seem to recall one where they removed one of the rules for some mining bots.

Anaheim Electronics when? If I have to die in a war, I want to die in a Gundam.

Pantoffel ,

That one is easy. Simply open up an electrics store in Anaheim, California.

Starting out small, so once I become rich, I can claim I got there through my own work, and not by having military contracts.
