also the end of diaspora
That wasn’t enough, though. There were still some discoveries ve needed to make for verself. Yatima surveyed the sky of this universe one last time, then jumped to the copy of the Truth Mines ve’d carried all the way from Konishi. To play our everything ve was, to be complete, ve had to find the invariants of consciousness: the parameters of vis mind that had remained unchanged all the way from orphan psychoblast to stranded explorer. Yatima looked around the jewel-studded tunnel, and sensed the gestalt tags of axioms and definitions radiating from the walls. Everything else from vis life in the home universe had been diluted into insignificance by the scale of their journey, but this timeless world still made perfect sense. In the end, there was only mathematics. Ve began to review the simple concepts nearby-open sets, connectedness, continuity—waking old memories, resurrecting ossified symbols. It would be a long, hard journey to the coal face, but this time there’d he no distractions.

just realized this is basically just hinton station from @eudoxia.bsky.social's eog581
Her world had a spartan geometry: bare wireframe walls and eight bit colour. A city of glass buildings, of transparent towers made of logic, floated in the empty space near the origin, its inhabitants were stylized human shapes, empty of texture, their voices were identical. Hinton Station was a virtual world in six dimensions. Its people were a clade of mathematicians who had gone into the computer to live in the Platonic realm. Gradually they lost sight of the world and disappeared into their own abstractions. For its people, the acme of life was writing exegeses of Hinton, Cartan, and Poincaré, and debating and dispassionately refuting them. Immense towers of abstraction, crystalline forests of Gentzen trees were built, and then torn down. And this went on forever. And all that is natural — all that is a gift from God — was absent from them. In the computer, all things are a product of human labour, and all exists fleetingly, and is torn down on a whim.

" Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle." — Bryan Cantrill

We don’t have to wait for capitalists to sell us the rope that we hang them with, instead we can just build and distribute open source desktop rope factories so that anyone who needs rope can simply make it themselves.
