  Ohh dear… My bitcoin miner has a cpu built in 1964. It’s gonna take a terribly long, long time to find anything… ;)

    I was gonna say, jokes on those viruses. I’m not an Olympic athlete. They just infected the human equivalent of a 1995 Compaq Presario. Also, good luck even getting the pennies that actually get mined. I’ve got a 56k modem and a family that keeps forgetting not to use the phone when I’m on the internet.

      LOL!

      Yeah, for me it’s a IBM Sysyem/360 - 8-bits all the way, my dudes!!!

      Good luck!

  Don’t give them any ideas. We’ll all be in matrix pods powering AI data centers.

    Still using wasteful dinosaur proof of work? Then get ready for Proof-of-Illness! It’s completely green and there’s no limit to human suffering!

    Still don’t have any IllCoins? Pay a visit to your local Torment Nexus today!

  Which Neal Stephenson involved a DNA-based compute penal colony orgy? Hopefully that doesn’t describe more than one.

    Was that in The Diamond Age?

      Ah, yep. Someone seems to have the full PDF. Beginning of Part The Second is it, rather more disturbing thematically than I remembered.

    Have read several and its not ringing any bells, so… not snow crash, anathem, or seveneves? Sounds more like Peter Hamilton or Iain M Banks.

  This is actually kind of a good analogy.

    In what way? It’s not even the infection that’s rising the temperature, it’s your body, trying to get rid of it.

      Right? I was just thinking that my immune system’s graphics card does not work that way.

  Somehow, in the future, it will have people who will honestly belive in a meme like this, seen how the things are going…

    There’s people that believe the COVID vaccine was injecting 5g microwave cups into them.

    Pretty sure there’s people that believe this now.
