Date: August 14th, 2018 7:34 PM Author: Impertinent step-uncle's house travel guidebook I wonder what someone who read Snow Crash in 1992 and then the news in 2018 would think. Elon Musk alone would be hard to believe as a character. An eccentric billionaire with interests in colonizing mars, hyperloop systems, and brain-machine interfaces who is trying to negotiate a buyout of his electric car company from oil-rich Middle Easterners and is dating a strange pop star whom he met on the global feed through their mutual interest in a thought experiment about a future all-powerful AI. Or how about a Russian intelligence operation to help sway the U.S. election to President Trump through ubiquitous social media. Not to mention crypto, augmented reality, smartphones, cyber warfare, and on and on. In a lot of ways, our society hasn’t changed, but when you start thinking about the things we take for granted now you realize we live in a deeply strange world.

now with augur we have decentralized prediction markets that can be used for gambling, speculating on weather, even assassination contracts.
not to mention everyone has resigned themselves to giving up all privacy to a handful of megacorps that know where you are at every moment in time, who all your friends are, the contents of all your emails and messages, etc., all so they can serve you targeted ads that follow you around everywhere. |
