You know what I'd really like? Some woke computer scientist making a WokeOS designed to run on Borg cubes. That way we can demote this whole thing into a WokeOS vs. urbit programming religious war and ignore it. They can translate their differences into arguments about typing.

Oh shit. I just realized: deep learning revolution IS going to be WokeOS. It can only exist at sufficiently centralized scale of data, is rife with very real problems (inherited biases etc) to which woke concerns legitimately apply, and is going to be the preserve of Borgcorps

Near-future sci-fi idea for somebody with a masochistic deathwish: a band of blockchain-coordinated BronzeAge transhumanist types carrying urbit-powered personal computing packs in their exoskeletons taking on China-as-AGI with a cybernetic-machine-learning -panopticon presence

Ancillary Supremacy is basically the Fukuyama Last Man thesis. A big AI-type deep state staffed by daughters who kinda rule it. Like how in anthills the queen is actually the slave of the "daughters" in genetic terms.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1208459177607102464 …

Replying to @vgr
the ancillary books go in a different direction, but I like your idea :)
