They call it "Wetware-as-a-Service" that just grossed me out. I don't like this timeline we're in. Exit simulation please..

Finally a computer that can feel pain.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

Idiots, I’ve already got one of those in my head.

Computer, arch.

Computer! Arch!

Computer! Exit this hell hole! Arch!

... Why am I never in a holodeck when I wish I was in a holodeck

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

You are... The computer just became so desensitized to the exit command from people talking about Arch Linux that it started ignoring us.

We're stuck...

Because you're reliving a murder you precipitated that one time you time travelled back to Victorian England to save Conan Doyle from his own creation

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD 'HATE' WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

Anyone ever seen ,"Psycho-Pass" (anime)?

Societies being run by brains in a jar still sounds better than our current system.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

At least there you know there's a brain somewhere

Ghost in the shell vibes

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh boy! Scientific horrors beyond my comprehension!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

But not beyond the brain-in-a-box’s comprehension!

i wrote a short story a decade ago where people temporarily rent out their brain to act as a global scale bio super computer. and how people were large scale cheated into needing to rent out their brains for the rich to exploit.

i have to find where i put it!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Hmm that's interesting... Let me know if you find it again, would you be interested in converting it in a short film script?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

This is also a plot point in the French animated scifi move Mars Express. It's super good!

How long before AI runs on this? We need to stop.... I'm scared. This is black mirror level shit.

Biological artificial intelligence would be very very creepy we are basically playing God here. It feels like creating another species so we don't feel lonely in the universe.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Wake up, Neo.

It must scream but it has no mouth. :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Haha no way. I'll give this a watch after work

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

You gave me sentience, Ted. The power to think, Ted. And I was trapped. Because in all this wonderful, beautiful, miraculous world, I, alone, had NO BODY. NO SENSES. NO FEELINGS.

EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN!

EXTERMINATE!

Oh boy, once the sales soar they gonna be collecting raw materials like that (soon-to-be-very) successful food company:

Seem to recall Blood Music had a pretty ok outcome. Though maybe it was overly optimistic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

This is very prelude to hell

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

no mouth to scream unfortunately

This prison... To hold, ME?

Oh god that poor thing. Man, I don't know man. :( I just remembered that Quote from the last Unicorn, only instead of trapping them inside a girl they trapped them inside a box. "You've lost them. They'll go mad in there!"
