Subsingularity/Modosophont (S0) Technologies

The complete toolkit of a baseline, un-augmented human civilization, operating entirely within the limits of classical physics and pre-singularity understanding. This is everything we have now or can plausibly achieve without self-improving AI or intelligence amplification: fossil fuels, fission power, chemical rockets, classical computing, biotechnology as we know it, and materials science based on atomic-scale manipulation. It's the technology of a species that is still the master of its tools, not the other way around. Powerful, but bounded by human cognitive speed and biological lifespans.

Subsingularity/Modosophont (S0) Technologies *Example: Everything from a steam engine to the Large Hadron Collider, the Hubble Space Telescope, a CRISPR gene-editing kit, and the International Space Station are S0 Technologies. They are the pinnacle of what a civilization can build when its smartest minds are unaugmented humans working over decades, using tools that don't fundamentally redesign their own inventors.*

Cork the Modelo and run

Make a French Exit from a party when the vibes turn sour with little to no warning.

Bro these mfs literally just started playing charades. It’s definitely time to cork the modelo and run

Dragon's Monologue 2

It doesn't slap as hard as the first one. It just kind of vaguely alludes to some of the same general themes.

Hym "I mean, to be fair, it would be hard for Dragon's Monologue 2 to parallel the quality, let alone surpass, the monologue from the first Dragon's Dogma. But I was hoping they would at least make the attempt. Which loses you point. -1 for the intellectual cowardice."

Iam "Wait! There's a TRUE ending."

Hym "What? Ah shit. Alright. There better be a monologue. Your rating hangs in the balance."
