      Dude! This is cute but it's. Not. Good. We laugh at the Japanese voting for animated fake virtual pop idols. We laugh at anime waifu. But we are going full otaku here, giving a low latency virtual space where corporates can manifest human-like interactivity.

      I seriously think the way out is through here... humanism and human-centric values are actually a recipe for being eaten by the database and being subhumanized, while steering into it full force creates interesting transcending dynamics

      I agree, emphatically. But note the difference between "the way for humanity is through here", and "humanity is the way for something else to go through". How much human agency is possible & are we willing to fight for, in this new Moloch we are birthing?
