All these AI bots are driven by bots from people cosplaying as developers, they all want to put on their robe and wizard hat and cry when others don’t play along.

Again, the lobsters in Accelerando are the bad guys. They traffic in conciousness, the less uploaded the better. Don't make your social network emulate them.
