I hate that I saw that same post earlier today
Here's a quote from the book:
Glad to know the calculators I had in school were capable of time travel
Isn't it absolutely deranged? These people have (well had lol) real power over us.
There is a great March 2023 episode of Trashfuture I'm listening to atm called "The Diet of Brainworms" about this book. They basically want to install feudalism and tech-priests because AI is sO pOwErFuLl.
One of the hosts (Riley iirc) made a great point that it's as if someone showed Kissenger that trick where you write "boobs" using a calculator, and he became deeply unsettled by the computer's power of speech. Also appreciated the one about Kissenger being the guy who used an etch-a-sketch to draw a gun and was scared of it.
everything with a memory is capable of time travel
