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

[–] Zink@programming.dev 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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!

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 40 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago

Finally a computer that can feel pain.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 32 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks 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

[–] Maxxie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 weeks 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)?

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 23 points 2 weeks ago

At least there you know there's a brain somewhere

[–] Wooki@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ghost in the shell vibes

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh boy! Scientific horrors beyond my comprehension!

[–] Zink@programming.dev 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 weeks ago

Is this just a weird pregnancy announcement?

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

"Crap! Bob there's a unit in Rack BC29849 that has gone out can you go and swap it for a new one?"

After the 2nd Zion, when The One is returned to the source

[–] sibachian@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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!

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks 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?

[–] fadingembers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks 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.

It must scream but it has no mouth. :(

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] mac@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] vane@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

speaking about biological computers

[–] Maeve@midwest.social 10 points 2 weeks ago

Wake up, Neo.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN!

EXTERMINATE!

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

[–] SOB_Van_Owen@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

This is very prelude to hell

[–] slinkyjelly@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

no mouth to scream unfortunately

[–] levzzz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

This prison... To hold, ME?

[–] anotherpurpleheathen@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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!"
