But! Stross wrote on a similar subject in 2010, about corporations as immortal aliens, which is in fact pretty close to my 2016 talk:

I am chalking this one up to similar people thinking similarly about similar things :)

@darius @c0dec0dec0de @cstross man, I need to dig up more of the notes from the stuff I wrote back in the late 90s/early aughts. It was never fully fleshed out, but the idea several collaborators and I anchored on at the time was an AI future in which “true AI” never happened, but probabalistic machines fed on huge quantities of human-authored material were convincing enough that civilization just started using them to deakill creative, assistive, and analysis work.
