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

      I used to argue that back in CA: "The paperclip maximizer is already here and it doesn't even need to be self-aware to destroy the environment to maximize its preprogrammed imperatives."

      But no, the treats they consumed said it has to be a scary (and probably sexy) robot deity first for it to be a problem. morshupls

            Ok, that was my first guess but I thought it was some tech bbs or something. Which isn't entirely wrong
