@eshear Why do I keep seeing references to Snowcrash this week? I need to read it soon, because Nam-shubs made me imagine the the knights who say Ni "you shall bring us.. a shubbery!" and I bet this is not what it means at all.

@eshear Snowcrash is almost more comforting since the cognito-hazards have to be special attacks instead of words just being vectors

@eshear I find myself snowcrashposting more than I should, it's crazy how relevant it is. IMO he did Gibson way better than Gibson https://t.co/O27tOZ5A8q

@eshear Read the book for the first time last month, kept thinking over and over how relevant it was. So many ideas and phrases people throwing around today seem drawn straight from it

@eshear The "bicameral mind" stuff is so much easier to understand in context of LLMs: system prompt, reasoning, tool calls. "Inner voice which tell you what to do" doesn't seem so ridiculous anymore

@eshear It's already going on. I did not have people cutting their loved ones off because of a chatbot on my 2025 bingo card lol.

@eshear It’s a guilty pleasure to go back to it every so often. The Hollywood action flick vibes of the intro chapters and the whole setting and ambiance feels to me like a video game.

@eshear 8 years later... “neuralink now has 140M wetware installations. last night's X doomscroll session triggered mass snow crash events when @ elonmusk posted a malformed bitmap. He claims it's 'just a meme' but the hospital reports suggest otherwise"
