    we’ve got a few Banks fans on our instance so it’s an ongoing conversation, but the most recent posts are here

    I enjoy Banks a lot and firmly believe he’d be here sneering with us if that were physically possible; it’s tragic that the rationalists and a number of AI fans have leaned into subverting the meaning of his work.

      Awesome, thanks!

      And yeah, for sure. If anything, those people want to be the GFCF from Surface Detail, not the Culture; they just want the shiny toys.
