I think the idea is to use the idea of future robot dictatorship as a spurn to learning DIY transistor manufacture.
Didn't read the whole thing but definitely cyberpunk

I've met Jeri. I'm pretty sure this guy is onto something.
I only wish she'd get the clone machine working ASAP.

#5Crazy genius. This is an example of someone born to do something.

#6I have a bit more positive look on the future: Jan-2038 is just before my retirement. I can make some money with old computer knowledge while the post-post millennial generation does not even know what the inside of an old operating system looks like.

Weird article. Author isn't technical enough to get how Jeri thinks. I've met her. She sees the physical world in terms of first principles, like Feynman. She built a short range radar from a satellite downlink dish by turning one of the transistors around. I would never have thought you could use a transistor from a low-noise amp to produce enough power to emit a usable signal. I'd be thinking "small-signal transistor" vs "power transistor". But it's an amp, it's got gain, it's fast enough, and she made it work.

Your old computer knowledge will be about the same worth as what income that can be generated today having extensive knowledge of Multi-User Dungeon forum software.

The world does not run on MUDs. The world does run on 30 year old OSes.
