psychic damage

trach @tracheopteryx Mar 9 I think apps go away.

Operating systems as we know them probably go away too.

The future of computing is about relationships floating in a constantly evolving sea of structured intelligence.

Blockchain-based, user owned, data with richly expressed privacy blooming into ad hoc AI-generated interfaces across heterogeneous display environments to suit each moment.

Every transaction/interaction becomes an exemplar object. A man-machine collaboration with clear provenance to grow or die via reputation within a high velocity space of financial flow.

Expense streams will autonomously direct to compute and IP contributors based on user budgets and relative value.

If your public actions become highly sourced exemplars for your peers’ interactions your net flow may turn positive and you earn money and rep, creating a flywheel for discoverability and usage within a larger sphere.

The world heals. It becomes about relationships again, the only things that matter.

You've heard of word salad, now get ready for buzzword salad!

Ah yes, let's all just float in a soup of undifferentiated chaos with only a chatbot to filter content from the noise.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 25 points 2 days ago

your data will float in the luminiferous aether
you will own nothing
you won't even be able to locate the b2b saas you're paying for
you will eat the bug

Well shit, looks like they finally got around to reading Echopraxia.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How is Echopraxia btw? I enjoyed Blindsight and thought the Rifters was pretty good (except for the last book which is extremely pessimistic about the human condition imo).

[–] Nacarbac@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good! It doesn't seem to be rated as highly as Blindsight, but I think it's actually the more interesting book - possibly since I'd already navelgazed about many of the same ideas in Blindsight just from exposure to Daoist stuff, Lovecraftian scifi, and reading it a decade after it had its influence on other media.

Echopraxia is trying to reach further towards the experience of meeting unknowable forms of existence, this time with our theological circuitry as one of the main mental tools for grappling with the unknowable used by the super-humans, with the viewpoint character being a baseline human lumbering around like a caveman without a clue as to why the priests and tigers and thunderstorm are all throwing hands, just that it fucking sucks.

It's a bit messy and confusing, and some bits are outright implausible... but that's genuinely the point, and I think that can be charitably extended even to the parts that weren't intended.

Good to hear, thanks, I'll add it to the list.

This sounded so much like Cruelty Squad dialog, it made me want to to make a video of it in the ui https://files.catbox.moe/f532xr.mp4 power-in-misery

The delusional ramblings of a madman trying to get every IT worker to commit suicide after the thousandth bespoke "ai" generated shitshow that day.

I can hear liz-society reading this out in her "earnest tech-evangelist" voice

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 37 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

This is just the ramblings of the bad guy from a William Gibson novel.

People like this need to be sent down to the countryside.

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

unironically taking their phones away and having them live and work for a couple of years in some remote place doing something practical and boring and having to interact mostly with people who have never used words like "blockchain" or "synergy" may be necessary
