sudo exit simulation please abracadabra Rumpelstiltskin
Omg. That's so much worse. What the fck, Melbourne? (.-.)
I don't like where this is going...
I knew it, we somehow slipped into Dimension X!
Idiots, I’ve already got one of those in my head.
Finally a computer that can feel pain.
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
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
Anyone ever seen ,"Psycho-Pass" (anime)?
Societies being run by brains in a jar still sounds better than our current system.
At least there you know there's a brain somewhere
Ghost in the shell vibes
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.
Oh boy! Scientific horrors beyond my comprehension!
But not beyond the brain-in-a-box’s comprehension!
Is this just a weird pregnancy announcement?
"Crap! Bob there's a unit in Rack BC29849 that has gone out can you go and swap it for a new one?"
Bob:
When is it inhumane?
After the 2nd Zion, when The One is returned to the source
How long before AI runs on this? We need to stop.... I'm scared. This is black mirror level shit.
How long before AI runs on this?
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.
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!
Hmm that's interesting... Let me know if you find it again, would you be interested in converting it in a short film script?
This is also a plot point in the French animated scifi move Mars Express. It's super good!
Can it run doom?
no it only screams
Same tbh
It must scream but it has no mouth. :(
Wake up, Neo.
speaking about biological computers
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.
Braaains!
This is very prelude to hell
no mouth to scream unfortunately
If only there was some other kind of biological computer that already existed… hmmmm….
Yeah, but that one has issues with exhaustion, needs breaks now and then... oh, wait, neurons need that too.
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!"
This prison... To hold, ME?
