The man chanting “this… is… necessary…”
Thats a tool song. I wonder if the reporter knew?
This is necessary. This is necessary. Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life.

The article reads like a Gibson novel. But it’s not a dystopian future. It’s now.
Gibson always wrote in the near believable future. Only the technology was far-out.
That was a lot.
A bit long, but well written. It read like a novel, quite enjoyable.
What a fucking world
A world of non-thinkers
At least Donald Boat found some wisdom.
After contemplating on this: These companies that seek to eliminate thinking, spit in the face of agency. They call themselves agentic yet seek seek to kill all agency and authenticity in the users of their products which is contemptible enough.
We should all be more like Donald Boat.
If we can’t change the material conditions that let these losers play with money and toys then we can at least hold them in cultural contempt.
Well, speaking of being agentic, we can do much more than that collectively. Together we can deny them this privilege they so enjoy. Whether legislatively or through direct action.
What a cool insight into the current situation. Love how the author gives his vision just after reporting the facts.
you will be meat for the coltan mines.
Is that a reference to Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles?
