Thanks for that awesome reference. I had no idea things had already gotten that far. I’m going further into bio compute, post scarcity, kilometers scale self replicating drones, and several space colonies in a strictly hard science fiction context. So no FTL, aliens, or exceptionalism/hero stories; just boring stuff like me. Mostly I’m flipping the AI situation to take away the killer machine gods trope and put them in biological parity with humans then basically asking a lot of questions by letting them play out circumstantially.

What got you into the whole wearables thing? I etch my own circuits and do Arduino like designs from time to time.
