Grimes: "What they don't tell you is that capitalism itself is the most obvious vehicle for intelligence and evolution" and it only gets more genius from there (i.redd.it)

You heard it here first: you should only fear the market once it becomes a bazinga-imperative robot god. Before then, lazy women keep the worst excesses of the market in check, which Grimes claims is a good if temporary thing... i think? morshupls

You joke, but she might be bazinga enough to see it as a projection of the imminent future because of the simulation having a time skip because the basilisk was feeling sassy that day morshupls

Well the original game was Cyberpunk 2020, yet here we are in 2024 but the only thing we got from there is pollution and corpos with death squads. No AV's, no cyborgisation, no holograms, no Soviet Union going strong.

AVs sort of exist. There are a lot of quadcopter vehicles they're testing out, but they all have problems to some degree or other.

Holograms are rapidly getting better too.
