Currently reading Crystal Society, written by Max Harms in 2016… and about to stop reading because the combination of what an AI can cannot do in that book seems so outdated and weird. Good reminder that the world of 2026 was really hard to imagine in 2016.
Socrates earns money by offering services as an editor via internet contact. This seems to be a aervice still only done by humans, and editing and replying to the customers takes Socrates more than, well, a minute.
In general, the minds of Socrates seem to think and communicate more or less with human speed. Their advantages mostly seem to be: internet access, perfect memory, no sleep.
