FYI assuming this is genuine, OP is a long-time science fiction writer with a couple novels that take place during or after an AI singularity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Stross
He's also made some damn insightful comments over the years. I wish a little less insightful in this case. He had a programming background and usually isn't full of shit.
"The Merchant Prince's" series is deep into pre-Great Recession liberal economics, but still a pretty good read.
Rule 34 in particular is an excellent read, and expands on some of the concepts in the post.
Excellent title.
Risky click of the day.
Thx for this, added a few of his books to the list of things I need to consume.
Don't start with Accelerando, or do if you're a little bit weird.
Haha, lul, that title did seem to stand out a bit from the other ones, but I didn't read the des.
I might start with Index, Codex, or Saturn - but I've intentionally skipped reading the synopsis (not as a spoiler, I'm indifferent to those, just as adhd management to 'start the thing' - by keeping the info simple it might seem like an easier pick for my brainhole to chose & allow me to perform the activity, and I feel like I don't need to do much more research on the author or specific books).
