Power has ‘been happening’ to me and everyone I know for basically my entire existence, I always thought it was whether that power is moral or trusted that people would disagree with. The story has nothing that is disagreeable to me in a worse way than current society. There’s tons of things in the culture I disagree with that sometimes is defended by ‘we as a society’ statements. I don’t think superintelligence needs brain implants to be able to exist, I really think ASI (well, any sort of power) will ‘happen’ for the majority of people, except the rare case of some lone genius making ASI and somehow keeping it in control.
