For those wondering what typically defines the cyberpunk literary genre, its key elements include:
High-tech, low-life scenarios: Advanced technology, such as cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, is prevalent, but it exists alongside widespread societal breakdown and poverty.
Dystopian future:
The settings are typically bleak and oppressive, often dominated by powerful corporations or decentralized, corrupt power structures.
Impact of technology on humanity:
Cyberpunk explores how technology shapes society, culture, and individual identity .
Antiheroes and rebellion:
Characters are often morally ambiguous rebels fighting against oppressive systems.
Today’s world is a toe dipped in the lake of cyberpunk critique.
Transhumanism is, for the most part, still a crackpot fringe theory. Most of us aren’t brainchipped, and there are still recognizable human interactions on the web.
To be fair, I don’t see anyone not even more evil than Epstein over there, ruling the world. And unless you rule the world, the worst of us eventually will. So being VERY transhuman, might actually be the only way to win.
I forgot what this conversation is about and I don’t feel like backtracking. All I know now is that end-stage ligma is a mouth-less person who’s craving ice cream.
It’s about Cyberpunk dystopia. We are going to live under the worst people imaginable, and I imagine, they want the ultimate trill of inflicting eternal, maximum suffering on helpless, innocent individuals.
I’d hate to break this to you, but the cyberpunk dystopian capitalist hellscape is in its infancy. It’s barely learning to crawl yet.
Enjoy the next thousand years or so… if you can…
i… present you with…a choice…comrade…
I wish there was a choice…
theres always a choice, it just depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice for it.

For high tech-low life, there are some homeless out there with cellphones and laptops, charging them with solar powered chargers.

You can’t pay me to use that shit. Always confidently incorrect.
Anything with crisp formatting gets labeled as AI these days — and if you use the dash, forget it!
I hate to break it to you but cyberpunk is a critique of today’s world. Tomorrow can always get much worse.

Enjoy the next thousand years? Are you immortal? Do you think everyone else is immortal too?
I have no mouth and I must eat icecream

I can’t speak for everybody, but I remember when the first continents were formed from geothermal vaults at the bottom of the ocean.
Or maybe that was just a mushroom trip. Either way, the dystopia has only just begun. Stop being pedantic.
