Been here my whole life and they were always like this, the difference is before 2009 there were consequences for losing all your investors' money. Then interest rates went sub 1% for a decade and everyone got used to infinite bites at the apple.

The currency in Brunner's world is literally "free $500 in bets" vouchers. People tithe these to their church and this is perfectly normal. Machines are sold to melt down coins into ingots worth more than the face value. The main character's super power is that he's an ID thief and a phone phreak.

Brunner read Future Shock, a nonfiction book about how spectacularly bad humans are at adapting to new technology, thought "how do you build a world where people accept fascistic rule by organizations that know all their secrets," and came up with Polymarket. In 1975.

Paperback of The Shockwave Rider under glass. The plaque reads: Shockwave Rider, by John Brunner, UK, 1975 British science fiction author Brunner's influential cyberpunk-like novel made prescient predictions about computer networks, including the existence of destructive worms. In the book, privacy and liberties are initially stifled by an all-pervasive network.

So I'm rereading The Shockwave Rider, the 1975 John Brunner book that @computerhistory.bsky.social has under glass as the birth of Cyberpunk. This every-ten-year reread has me noticing how the origin of his dystopia is the reorganization of economics around "Delphi," which is literally just Kalshi.

Laserdisc remotes are probably 10x the value of the actual machines at this point.

Hey look at that if all four dems voted yes it would’ve passed. Funny how that always seems to happen.

This is a remarkable interview in which not a single question is answered.

They laid off Will Judd, the guy doing the part that actually makes these sites money - deal watching and affiliate links.

They saw what Microsoft is doing with Xbox and took it as a challenge.

I'm so looking forward to pritzker prompt injecting gavbot on the primary debate stage. It will make what chris christie did to rubio look generic.

I'm trying to make an analogy about software quality decreasing as llm use increases and the increased diagnostic criteria of autism making people blame vaccines, but I can't make it work
