Chatted with nostr:npub1clk6vc9xhjp8q5cws262wuf2eh4zuvwupft03hy4ttqqnm7e0jrq3upup9 about Neal Stephenson’s “Diamond Age” over lunch today and now I can’t get it out of my head. Overdue for a re-read. What ever happened to the nano-tech future we were promised? https://cdn.nostr.build/i/c10005cff3094d6543ec81ef7c359f81976a35296a20cd292eafb1b473746b4b.jpg

One of my favourite lines refers to Psuedo-Intelligence not Artificial Intellogence. “You know, when I was a lad, they called it A.I. Artificial Intelligence”
The next innovation no one is ready for… “Nanotechnology has made nearly anything possible, and so the cultural role in deciding what SHOULD be done with it had become more important than imagining what COULD be done with it.”
I’d forgotten about that part, but agreed the future is groups connected and cooperating via protocols and not geography.
