  • What do you think about the idea that we're in a simulation?

    Jump

  • I like to think all advents in science are simulation modifications. We managed to make rocks think and talk to us. That sounds like magic in a vacuum.

  • Go a little further, and you run into ego death. You feel like your sense of self is no longer consistent with your experience and start from scratch for a little while.

  • This is the idea I run with. As a people, we have a natural attraction to simulated worlds. Stories, books, shows, movies, games, dreams, imagination. That's our shit right there, and it makes sense that we'd hold onto that passion were we to go up a level.

  • Hallucinogenics are wild, man. It feels like peaking behind the veil, and it can make you lose your grip on what you understand reality to be. I had a bad trip where I found myself face-to-face with what I've nicknamed as "the spectator". Dunno if it was supposed to be my higher self, God, or some other entity. But it made me well aware it was always there, always watching, and existed outside of our perceived reality. I told my mates that, at the time, it felt like I found something real, and that our reality was the fabrication. I still don't know what to make of it now.

  • Perfection is stagnation. It's the entropic nature of reality that provides the vehicle for change and will to manifest, allowing subjective experiences to exist. If anything, I'd see this as evidence of a simulated reality, as it's suspiciously convenient that this is all here for us to experience the way we do. You wanting it all to end sounds like more of an internal battle than external to me, and yours is a scary worldview.

  • I love the sound of a person's voice when I can hear that they're smiling

  • I uncontrollably smile when I talk to this day thanks to my call center experience. It's an unwanted mask.

  • Semiautomatic firearm ban passes Colorado's House, heads to Senate

  • I imagine there'd be discussion regarding how we might restrict a person's ability to publicly and freely stab multiple people ¯(ツ)/¯

    Which is the correct course of action. People should not be allowed to murder people, and things should be done to make it harder to do.

  • I think it's a reasonable request that regulations be consistently applied rather than utilized at the whims of corporate favoritism. Facebook deserved a ban well before tiktok was an entity.

  • Once my Switch broke and the Steam Deck released, I decided I didn't want to bother with Nintendo anymore. They've been killing their communities for far too long.

  • I only stopped using mine because it got Zucked. I loved that thing before, and I'm still mad about it.

  • If someone calling out a shit company for being a shit company stops all companies from wanting to hire that person (note: I'm not saying you're wrong about this), more people should be calling out the fact that every single company in America outright regards themselves as shit companies with no intention of changing that fact. That's a far-reaching systemic failure that should not go unchecked. I'm sure most of these influencers know damn well what the risks are, and those risks are part of the problem mate.

  • I don't see this stand up as proper AI at all. However, I do see the writing on the wall, and we are definitely attempting to build towards what I referenced, a proper simulation of consciousness. So all the AI projects coming out now feel like stepping stones towards that end.

    I thoroughly agree that this happening under a capitalist system is a recipe for shit though. However, we have no way of removing capital from the equation at this time, and like it or not, people are going to be doing more projects exactly like this. As well they will be making money from it because that is literally the only way anything ever gets done when capital is the beginning and end of the discussion. That's more an issue with capitalism than AI personas IMO. This is how things are going to happen, and I feel like we're better off trying to inject morality into the situation than to pretend that it won't happen or that we can stop it from happening. Otherwise, what we're doing is standing around with angry expressions on our faces, doing fuck all while corporation steal our likenesses for profit.

    We have to tread carefully from here.

  • Assuming we kill capitalism and form a more utopic society (which the Carlinbot amusingly is all for, but also cynically doesn't think is possible), would AI recreations of existing or previously existing people still be an issue to you? I'm morbidly curious what an AI "me" would be like, and I can imagine others being against something like that coming to be.
