IDK. I sort of like the idea that now instead of dead internet theory being a joke, that it’ll be a well known fact that a minority of people are not real and there is no point in engaging… I look forward to Social 3… where people have to meet face to face.

How quickly would that meat-space renaissance spin through our whole cyberpunk heritage, speedrunning the same authentication challenges..?

The cornucopia of gargoyles, living their best life as terminals for the machine.

The strange p-zombies who don't show their gargoyle accessories visibly, but somehow still follow the script.

Eventually the more insidious infiltrators, requiring a real Voight-Kampff test.

"minority"?
