Oof, contact after long radio silence. A wild few months of intense storms, a broken foot & losing access to all my website domains - holy cow.

One of the short SF stories in #Nature #Futures described the situation of a simulated or copied rather than wholly artificial machine intelligence, once human, which had been put in a phenomenal number of jars and shaken, and then discarded, of course, over a long period into the future.
Seemed bad.
One of the #basilisks , perhaps.
