@cassandroid.substack.com @ganweaving.bsky.social Remember how in #Neuromancer by #WilliamGibson , the AI called #Wintermute gets the attention of the Rastas of the #ZionCluster orbital colony by playing a mighty dub for them?

In #Neuromancer by #WilliamGibson , the AI #Wintermute got the Rastas from the Zion Cluster space colony to listen to them by playing them a mighty dub. The entire story is just a heist where none of the specialists know that they have been hired by an AI to help it escape containment.
And if I didn't know that this music right here was #AI, I would believe it was made by humans. Damn, this is the best AI music I have heard so far. It may not be that "mighty dub" from Neuromancer _yet_, but the models are getting closer. This sounds bloody incredible.

#NinaMunteanu Talks to CBC About #Solarpunk (in #Toronto and Elsewhere)
May 3, 2026
Excerpts:
"On the Emerging Solarpunk Movement in Toronto:
When asked about whether there is a solarpunk movement in Toronto, I said absolutely! #SolarpunkToronto is an emerging movement focused on building a #sustainable, #equitable future through #CommunityAction, #GreenArchitecture, and #RenewableEnergy, specifically tailored for the city’s urban environment. It includes initiatives like sustainable fashion shows, community meetings, and innovative #storytelling, aimed at merging environmental activism with optimistic technology. The mantra is to achieve a regenerative sustainable urban future.
I mentioned #LindsayJane of the Solarpunk Scene (Youtube videos on Solarpunk projects in Toronto) and Ariel of Solarpunk Presents with podcast interviews on solarpunk efforts. People can find community on the Solarpunk Facegroup group. I also talked about the #TorontoSolarpunkMeetup at the #CentreForSocialInnovation, where they practice ' #PrefigurativeLife ’: living as if the #SustainableFuture already exists. Which it does, though not everywhere.
This reminds me of #cyberpunk science fiction author #WilliamGibson’s famous quote: The future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed.
Examples of solarpunk initiatives practiced by individuals and small communities include the use of #CommunityGardens, setting up and looking after #RooftopGardens or #raingardens. Tenants can have a #PollinatorGarden on their patio and set up a #BalconySolar panel (now very affordable). People are going electric; some are setting up solar rooftops or balconies. Groups and individuals are engaging in clothing swaps and sustainable fashion runways.
Community-led trusts are involved in repairing items for reuse instead of adding to the throw-away culture. In my book #ADiaryInTheAgeOfWater the diarist’s mother Una rides her bike all over the community, repairing all kinds of things for a community that has lost its ability to do so; something we’re losing in this digital age.
On a Solarpunk Future:
We discussed the feasibility of a city like Toronto becoming 100% solarpunk. My response was a wary yes. Of course it was possible. But, in my opinion, two things have to happen for this to succeed: 1) the willingness of individuals in a community to give up a consumer-led capitalist lifestyle and adopt a lighter gentler footprint; and 2) community and city leaders to be on board with it. The enthusiastic cooperation of leaders cannot be overstressed for a paradigm shift toward a solarpunk future to succeed."

Ich kann mich der Leseempfehlung nur anschließen. Habe die drei Bände Anfang der 1990er in der ursprünglichen Heyne-Ausgabe gelesen. Die Übersetzung war tatsächlich auffällig (für mich), aber mit Mitdenken überhaupt kein Problem. Wie soll ich es sagen: Ich fühlte die Bedeutung ...im Text und insgesamt ..

Fantapolemiche del weekend
Non sono più una ragazza, e lo dico con quella serenità che arriva solo dopo molti anni di giornalismo, parecchi scaffali riempiti e un numero imprecisato di entusiasmi sopravvissuti alla prova del tempo. Da bambina mio padre mi metteva in mano Asimov, Heinlein e Vance con la stessa naturalezza con cui altri, più prudenti, consegnano le fiabe. È stata una fortuna enorme. Alla fantascienza devo la curiosità, il vizio di guardare di lato, l’abitudine a diffidare delle superfici lisce e […]https://leargenteetesteduovo.com/2026/06/30/fantapolemiche-del-weekend/
