I thought that’s what they call computer generated poetry.

Maybe metaspace, as separate from meatspace?

I think that’s honestly part of what frames his position. Not just being part of the development of cyberpunk, as a genre, but also just that he’s exactly as wealthy as he cares to be. He’s demonstrated, on multiple occasions, that he’d rather invest in his community than in growing his wealth. So much of the perception of NFTs can be shaped by how much you can expect to gain from it. Dude isn’t interested in a get-rich quick scheme because he doesn’t care to get rich. Hard to rob someone who doesn’t have the greed to leverage.

Lots of people bag on this movie, but I loved it.

Right? What’s NOT to love…
That is a perfect scene from top to bottom.

Look it’s not entirely relatable but the poor guy has 320 whole GB of data stored in his head! I mean that’s nearly a quarter more than I have sticking out of my telly right now. Well unless you count the other ones plugged in there in which case it’s less. I may have some memory leakage but that’s around 25%!
Also slagging the movie for the drug addicted dolphin isn’t fair. That’s the book.

Doesn’t he mostly avoid looking stupid with predictions by sticking with stuf which is more or less present? The drug dolphins is a Vietnam era urban legend iirc.
Obviously his new stuff is kind of hard SF with multiple realities and quantum bubbles but the cultural stuff in it is very now.

Wasn’t it him who said he missed ubiquitous cell phones?

Quite possibly; payphones show up repeatedly in the Sprawl trilogy, at least.
Then again, just about everyone missed the cell phones, and the way they’d change things.
