Yun-Ta Tsai(@yunta_tsai):In Ian Banks' Culture books, the Culture is a civilization of compute abundance. Each General System Vehicle is a loose sandbox environment practicing different ideologies, and citizens freely move between ships to experience different lifestyles. Want communal life? There's a ship. Ultra-orthodox religion? Another. Beach chilling? One famous for its beaches. With enormous compute, you don't need to trade off who decides the trajectories. Just launch another docker station for another rollout. In that world, your autonomy is backed by the compute.
