Most everything else I've read has just been vibes. If this book can deliver on being more than vibes, I'm all for it.

I think a dense philosophical text on ethics at the edge of sentience is a useful thing for a society to have.

Even if it's hard to turn that into a widespread shift of consciousness, it's a great first step and a solid foundation to build on. Assuming it is solid philosophically, that is - no way to tell that from just an article.

This seems to me to be mainly aimed at restaurants and department stores. For working applications, isn't that usually dealt with via in-home repair anyways? I don't know many people who would go to a store to buy a new appliance if it breaks, nor many people who would know how to buy parts and fix it themselves.

Looks like this is from 2018, and has had at least one follow up: https://thespinoff.co.nz/the-best-of/09-03-2018/the-mystery-...

It's an interesting story though - thanks for linking it! Not... extraordinarily surprising, but interesting.

Could you site this?

I've looked at ilovecaching's comment history (at least up to ~60 days ago) and they seem consistent on being a networking programmer who uses C++. Was there a particular comment you found which would indicate this isn't the truth?
