Man, I love me some good satire. And this is well written. Not by the likes of Terry Pratchett, but by a theoretical physicist, of all things.
Kind of makes me want to research the low-level mechanics of satire a little better. I’m curious how well, or not well, modern LLMs would be able to output useful satire. There would be a sort of meta irony in that.
On a more serious note, I’ve worked in process automation, writing software, my whole career. which only has about 10 years left. One of the questions I have asked myself increasingly, through these last 35 years, is “What is humanity going to do with itself, once we automate everything?” the last five years have definitely brought that into much sharper focus, for a much wider audience, than I used to have when I asked that question.
