We need to stop making sci-fi until tech bros can learn the difference between a warning and an aspiration.

Edit: because this post is doing numbers it’s important to explicitly acknowledge that this is a bad take on a complex and big problem.

@scott Not for nothing, but many people who are not tech bros. don't know who the real monster is in Frankenstein.

Or that, "I, Robot" demonstrated that the 3 rules of robotics failed.

Or...

Hello new followers! I know that many of you found me because of the birthday posts and cover art. I have been writing religiously about the texts-- published primarily between 1945-1985 -- on my fanzine website for more than a decade: https://sciencefictionruminations.com/

I'm an obsessive reader and writer of whim. I've conducted review series on diverse topics from Native American SF authors to generation ships.

Come join the community!

Watched it for the umpteenth time last night. 42 years old and as long as you're not watching the original theatrical release, it's a near perfect film. A pure masterclass.

I am currently engrossed in reading the Expanse book series. In the universe of these books, humanity's advanced space-faring civilization still grapples with familiar issues like geopolitical tension, inequality, and exploitation.

The arrival of a mysterious new technology ignites intense reactions from governments, individuals, and political ideologies.

In these books, I see many parallels to how people currently interact with AI.

New starship work in progress.

For a long time I have been a fan of the Corvette design from the game Independence War (I-War) box art. I finally decided to do a ship inspired by that design.

Enjoy.

"It's the future, why haven't we cured hiccups," whined Vena, between hiccups.

Her robotic companion rose, shrieking, "Destroy all humans!"

Vena hiccuped again, "Sorry, that isn't going to work twice."

"Then I am out of ideas," said Robonnie, sounding defeated, curling up on a cushion.

Vena stifled yet another hiccup, and started to speak, only to jump as something slammed into the window.

"Ow," said Robonnie's remote drone.

"I'm cured!"

Summer 1979. I'd finished my first year at college. There is no internet, but a frenzy has been whipping up among weird kids for this movie for months.

One of the chief sources of information for nerds was Omni Magazine (In the US and UK). I had subscribed to it for its entire lifetime.

There was a long feature on H.R. Giger in the November 1978 and his eerie art with creatures that combined biology and machine-like elements. It put me over the edge.
