You haven’t actually read/watched any of the media we’re talking about here, have you?
Like, we could get the full ‘echopraxia’ dystopian suite if we arent careful.
And with billionaires around, we can’t be.

Gattaca is one of my favourite movies. Is there another thing you’re talking about?

I liked the way posthuman society was portrayed in the ‘firefall’ novels, how fucking bleak and horrible it got, but omg.
Are you from the SF bay area? Is this the thing where you only ever got STEM education and now can’t like piece of art, even a dystopian one, without trying to make it real?

I’m canadian. I have heard that san fran is Canada’s 4th biggest city by population or something like that, but no, I don’t live there.
Something I wonder is why people treat gattaca like it’s exactly and completely prescient, but at the same time have no worry at all about AI x-risks because “terminator was science fiction, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
