Severely underrated comment

Sounds like if @greatdismal.bsky.social had hung around with the Beat Poets in his youth and it got woven into Neuromancer lol. Not sure what it's a rework of if at all, but it's great.

And that's without taking into consideration the contemporry issue that most of these cons are held in fascist countries... not keen to travel these days...

The horror :(

A+ usage of quisling, I am delighted to see this vocab in the wild. ...regardless of the context I suppose

There was a moment. A tiny slice of time, when AI could have been brilliant. We are waaaay past that moment, and people need to realize that no amount of magical thinking will bring us back there...

Thats honestly a horror story in itself. The whole creeping infiltration bit...

Good point. Only exceptions i can think of are creepy child vamp Kirsten Dunst in the Interview movie and Spike (from BtVS)'s mom for like 5 seconds...

It was lovely to meet you, Arley. Glad to see your con experience was a good one :D
