if it’s successful how you say it gonna die
Computers are an absolutely amazing device but it doesn’t take that much to render them inoperable. Entropy is the norm. Order is productive but fragile.
I didn’t explicitly and solely mean contemporary material culture and technology; it can be extended to philosophy, to art, to every aspect of d e e p c u l t u r e
Computers metaphorically. AR’s fears are probably overestimated, but “if it’s so strong, how can it die?” ignores how fragile complex systems are. You can build in some antifragility, but there are limits. (Humans, for instance, can recover from a variety of injuries, but routinely die from cancer, which requires only a few molecular alterations/mutations in one cell to start.)
