You Got Me on the Altered Carbon Reference

But you really got me with the discussion over AI and game worlds.

1/ the fact that the netflix showrunners altered everything about envoys is a travesty. envoys are like seal team 9000 with doctorates in psychology. not jungle freedom fighters (no offense) if they had simply followed the books season two would have been Broken Angels….still one of my favorite sf novels

2/ my headcanon for a possible future
—where anyone can build a high fidelity virtual world, seed a narrative and have a Game Master Oracle AI iterating on the emergent narratives and guiding ai npcs who will “feel” like hardcore perma-roleplayers—is this will become the culture and a viable market in a soon to be post scarcity world. there will be endless harry potter or star trek knock off worlds….but building, discovering, exploring and “collecting” truly novel virtual world experiences could be the way we avoid the ennui of the Post Scarcity Blues

the show is amazing, i like the vibe of the hosts. feels like you are chilling with friends each week

10/10 would recommend, 11/10 with rice
