Moltbot, Accelerando in our timeline

As someone who (until a few days ago) owned the lobsters.social domain and has long been into the gag of digitized lobsters evolving into self-aware AI (yes, Accelerando is one of (...)

@glynmoody #Accelerando , an alarming #SciFi novel by @cstross
I'm not sure he was perfectly serious, but that extrapolates.

Oh, I can think of some!

"I'm getting old," the male mumbles. "I‘m slowing down."

"Not where it counts," the female replies, gently squeezing
his right buttock.

"No, I'm sure of it," he says. "The bits of me that still exist in this old head—how many types of processor can you name that are still in use thirty-plus years after they're born?"

Where is my sentient, emotional luggage that was promised? :)

…some virtual cash at the brutal face of the cash register, and it unfetters the suitcase, unaware that Macx has paid a good bit more than seventy-five euros for the privilege of collecting this piece of baggage. Manfred bends down and faces the camera in its handle. "Manfred Macx," he says quietly. "Fol-low me." He feels the handle heat up as it imprints on his fin-gerprints, digital and phenotypic. Then he turns and walks out of the slave market, his new luggage rolling at his heels.

And that last bit is kind of important right? That's where #scifi comes back into play. Over the decades authors and "futurists" have played with a lot of variations on these themes. Portraying some positive outcomes like #StarTrek, or negative like #alita or #elysium or #accelerando 13/

I think this might be one of my favorite things about Mastodon. Back to seeing unrelated interests interact on the Internet.

#Accelerando got me hooked. Now it's one of the few books I retain in deadtree.

@dave_cochran @cstross

I understand ElMo's tactical agenda now: he's trying to convince anyone halfway bright that leaving the planet were an entirely reasonable thing to want and the most practical option left.

(Note: 'most practical'≠'practical' once all practical options have been blocked.)

@vk3xe @Unixbigot Does not contain live bees, which probably means these live bees are very fast #accelerando

so apparently LinkedIn now has a "AI reply" button to messages, thus we have achieved the perfect situation where spamming recruiters send autogenerated crap and get back autogenerated crap.
I'm pretty sure this was in @cstross's #Accelerando.

"I mean, they're what, a ten-million-neuron network hooked up to a syntax engine and a crappy knowledge base? What kind of basis for intelligence is that?"

Accelerating wheelchairs could harm poor, unsuspecting crocodiles?

@scalzi it’s one of @cstross’s sentient Moscow Windows NT User Group lobsters from #accelerando. It’s here to help #chatgpt invade us.

Notes for March 27-April 2

This was a both a much worse and a much better week than usual.(...)

Kinda surprised “Fork your instance!” isn’t the “Drop dead!” of #Mastodon… And if you don’t know what “fork your instance” means, you need to read Charles Stross’ book #Accelerando.

@muzkore @aral I was introduced to the idea of corporations as psychopaths by the excellent documentary The Corporation, which is required viewing for anyone who wants to understand the political-economy of the 21st century. I also recommend the Charles Stross novel #Accelerando, which riffs on the concepts by representing corporations as AI bots.
