Put them on Mr. Bone’s Wild Ride.
The Black Mirror writers begin furiously scribbling in their notebooks
Purely theoretical, if you inherit, let’s say, Elon Musk’s money, and you then resurrect him. Do you have to give that money back?
No, I think you would just inherit Elon Musk too. Make sure you feed him and take him on walks.
No, and I wouldn’t even ressurect him right away.
Id force his consciousness to play NES battletoads without break until he can beat it without cheating or warps before he can partially return to the real world.
and then you build a pool for them to play in without a ladder
there’s likely a mod for giving sim periods. it’s likely a matter of messing with some config files to give them permanent endomitosis periods
Wicked whims does adult sims mod stuff, I understand. Dunno about endometriosis, but I’m sure it’s doable. N
The teenage girl is probably named AM.
I would torrent any of them. Then I’d mod them into palworld so they can work to death while my pals chill in the japanese terms.
I would mod 'em in minecraft villagers. This is all i can say, my lawyer said to not continue.
Hahaaa, I’d mod them into fun Rimworld characters.
It doesn’t even matter what you do to them. You can torture them forever and you can choose whether they can remember or not.
A better hell of their own making I cannot think of.
What a load of bullshit. It will be the sims 5.
Someone is a bit optimistic with how EA works.
In 2050?
I think you might be a bit too optimistic.
Not optimistic i just dont think EA is creative enough to make new dlc that long. They have to release 5 so they can put out all the same dlc on the new one.
ITT: people supporting torture and violence against tech entrepreneurs because of post-hoc political justifications.
These comments are operating under the hypothetical premise that it is literally a human consciousness. They’re essentially describing what they want to do to people if there were no legal consequences. It’s very revealing in many ways.
It’s like the mentality of a terrorist breeding ground here. Yikes.
The world is burning and millions, billions of people are at risk. All our resources are going into techbro crap with no regard to the environment. And you’re worried about billionaires getting bullied.
Yeah sit down.
These people are at risk of what? Climate disaster in 75 years? Tech, namely geoengineering, is literally the only feasible solution for that.
Climate change is affecting the world now. If you don’t feel it, you’re privileged that it hasn’t hit you yet. Have some empathy for others. Your condition isn’t a litmus test for everyone else.
Tech bros literally destroying the very planet we live in, causing untold misery… you quiet
A meme about them maybe facing consequences in the far future… you: pearl clutching
sit this one out
Surgeons kill dozens of people, hundreds if they work hard enough in their lives. I don’t kill people, therefore they’re evil while I’m not, thus fantasizing about torturing them is okay. This is effectively your logic.
You either have the mental maturity of a 12 year old, or need to take your meds.
Techbro compares himself to surgeon, thinks he has a point.
Have fun spending eternity in the Sims
AI and robotics will continue detecting cancer sooner than humans and performing life saving surgery. Geoengineers will solve climate concerns. Technology will continue to streamline judicial systems, health care, education, leisure…
Meanwhile you’ll contribute nothing except whining that some casualties existed in the wake of all this. Do you not realize how much death and extinction existed before industrialization? Grow the fuck up.
lists other people’s achievements
YoUlL NeVeR aChIeVE AnYtHiNg!!!
Idk if legal consequences were any “moral” these people would’ve been punished for appearing on the epstein list.
The Epstein list is simultaneously not released and also contains the names of all the people you don’t like. Convenient.
Ah yes because it’s a single paper titled “epstein island” in bold like some fucking grocery list.
Collection of emails, contacts, and client records some of which have leaked and rest still kept? Ramblings of conspiracy theorists.
Whenever I see this post, I think of this short story. I don’t see it linked here yet, so here ya go.
(Wrong copy linked, updated)
That was a great story, thanks for sharing. I love how the voice of the article sounds exactly like I’d expect from the kind of article we might read today. It reminded me a little of the 1972 “Lenna image” of Lena Forsén in Playboy that was frequently used for illustrating image processing algorithms (a practice that is now banned in most relevant journals.
I also liked how the story mentioned fiction about brain uploading. That was very meta, and I enjoyed it to an unreasonable degree.
Oh! I bet that’s where the name of the thing comes from! If you go back into the link, Lena is at the top of the page, and the original draft shared the name.
Thanks for that added context!
ah sweet man made horrors beyond my understanding
“Welcome back, Elon. I think you’re going to like what we’ve cooked up for you: Your reconstructed brain has been placed in a medically advanced life-support enclosure to ensure you’ll live - or at least exist - forever. We thought about using Neuralink ™ for this next bit, but the tech sucked. Instead we’ve implanted your brain with bespoke electrodes hooked up to your grey matter to simultaneously induce inescapable pain and allow your Broca’s area to drive this vocal synthesizer via your motor cortex. We were thinking the dulcet tones of your endless suffering could be made pay-per-view. You won’t be alone of course. Look, your old buddy Zukerberg’s jar is right over there, between Besos and Altman. Maybe we can make a choir…”
They think they’re going to live on their island fortresses with an army of slave robots, and the occasional actual slave.
They think the LLM hallucination problem will be ironed out in a couple of years.
They think longevity drug therapy is just a few years away.
I think they’re very wrong. They can throw all the money and electricity they want at these two fantasies, and they will remain fantasies. Unfortunately, we’re going to let them beat us all to hell over this… until we won’t anymore.
They know they’re in a race against an uprising, they just think they’re going to win this time.
They think the LLM hallucination problem will be ironed out in a couple of years.
That one is a tad more realistic than uploading human consciousness.
not unless they pivot on the basic principles of the LLM’s, instead of attempting to force a square peg into a circle hole.
Hallucinations have already been reduced. You’re expressing a pretty standard anti-LLM stance but it seems people in the field think the hallucination problem can be fixed. Even something as simple as having them say “I don’t know”. Better use of tools and sources.
The fact that hallucination is less of a problem then it used to be should make it pretty clear that it’s not immutable.
In any event, it’s still ridiculously more possible than artificially transferring human consciousness.
I’d put them into a boilerplate game where there is just a green floor and blue sky and 1 skeleton that doesn’t do anything but you can hit it.
given how simple the simulation is you can make it run faster, one hour of your time is a month for them. let’s see how they handle years of isolation
I bet you can run a simulation way faster than a meat computer. Like millions of times faster.
that really depends on the hardware, currently? I doubt it,
Hardware in 2050 of course!
The whole Moore limit seems to be tapering out though. and with everything getting enshitified assuming that future hardware would be orders of magnitude more powerful than what we have now is no longer a given.
If APM comes around we’ll have computronium, which obviously slams moores law quite spectacularly.
Its basically this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32109569-we-are-legion-we-are-bob
There is a lot of it also in a Black Mirror Episode - USS Calllister.
I think it is also the only episode with two parts.
There is also the show “Upload” which is about a digital afterlife once you die.
