        That would be worrying

          Unlikely, all time travel technology will have been destroyed in the war, before 2035

            Like all good sci-fi, they just took what was already happening to oppressed people and made it about white/American people, while adding a little misdirection by extrapolation from existing tech research. Only took about 20 years for Foucault's boomerang to fully swing back around, and keep in mind that all the basic ideas behind LLMs had been worked out by the 80s, we just needed 40 more years of Moore's law to make computation fast enough and data sets large enough.

              Ah yes same with Boolean logic, it only took a century for Moore law to pick up, they had a small milestone along the way when the transistor was invented. All computer science was already laid out by Boole from day 1, including everything that machine learning already did or will ever do.

                Foucault’s boomerang

                fun fact, that idea predates foucault by a couple decades. ironically, it was coined by a black man from Martinique. i think he called it the imperial boomerang?
