if post-scarcity ASI singularity goes well, you will be able to choose to live in a perfectly maintained bubble that is a simulacrum of the world where “the bubble popped”, where all AI research was meaningless, etc. perfectly maintained by machines of loving grace

It's not December yet, which means you don't have to start Christmas shopping (this is A Fact) and should instead spend the afternoon indulging in the best of the week's links and writing in Web Curios (or, dunno, read a good book or something): webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-28...
