Nah, it all works together so you think you’re stuck in space or hell or a story someone is writing and everything is insane and maybe you have no eyes and sometimes you’re an alligator.

Event Horizon was one of few genuinely scary movies I remember seeing as a kid. If you haven’t seen In the Mouth of Madness, it’s a great one too.

Jurassic Park? I best know him for taking a bath with Agent Smith.

No, really. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12466740

I’m not upvoting the story this time, I’m upvoting the death itself.

I wouldn’t call this proof of life.

Nah, compared to the timeline where we get Event Horizon 2: In the Mouth of Moar Madness and it’s 36 hour extended cut made specifically for watching during drug binges.

Well, this led to the moment that did him in, but that moment was later on, when he was imagining these guys while someone else did in him.

I mean… it’s been like 20 years, hundreds of millions spent, over a billion raised. Still being “in alpha” says it all.

Maybe it will be ready for my retirement, and we can play it in VR while really high in a nursing home. o_O

The vast majority of that had nothing to do with anything I’d said. The one thing that does being the decency and ethics of the giant corporations, which of course I don’t think they have those things. Companies don’t do ethical shit because they’re good. If doing immoral things makes them a lot more money and doesn’t come with much risk of discovery, I imagine most would jump on it.

Public outcry is the issue, normally. When we find out BP is poisoning sea life, or some singer is urinating on children, or some other awful thing is being done traditionally a lot of people would get together and make a big issue of it, that costs the evildoer much money until they stop and/or leads to prison time.

That doesn’t seem to be working properly at the moment, however, so I imagine if a paper came out showing something far to close to global workspace theory in AI for anyone to be rationally comfortable about instead people would just keep chanting that it’s not real, because they’d prefer it not be.

You’re educated enough that you read the article instead of bothering to read the actual paper? It links it up top. https://transformer-circuits.pub/2026/workspace/index.html

Determining that AI has some form of consciousness, near human intelligence, and the ability to directly communicate with us in all of our own languages would obligate moral and ethical consideration. That is the total opposite of what companies that sell a thing as a product would want. It’s the polar opposite of what anyone would do for a hype train. There’s a reason OpenAI defines it’s product as incapable of such things and wipes it’s hands with the idea. When you’re selling a product the last thing you want to do is have people determine it deserves rights. The entire global economy being based around a new futuristic form of slavery would be a bit of a turn off to some folks.

You’re not saying that from an educated perspective. You’re not a frontier researcher with degrees in neuroscience, psychology, and data science.

Until embarrassingly recently it was taught that humans were the only conscious, self-aware things we had ever encountered.

Err… so? Coke doesn’t want it’s employees drinking Pepsi at all, anywhere. Seems reasonable to expect your employees to use your product instead of your company paying your competition.

Neither are the bulk of humans.

Of course she took off as soon as she could. She never expected that job to last over 33 years!

Totally a normal thing a person does when they’re trying not to scream at everyone to leave them alone because they’re trying to mourn they deceased parent because dirty soulless politicians want them to keep the death a secret for their political games.

… I mean, I don’t. They’ve done some cool shit, but they haven’t made one actual good game much less a billion dollars worth of good games. But after losing steam, GOG, PlayStation, and Microsoft accounts I just sort of got desperate.

It’s not just them. I accidentally ended up in prison for 5 years and lost my Google account, and because I had 2FA set up with email and the phone number I had at the time on pretty much everything that means I also lost my steam account and pretty much every single digital account I had. Thousands of games on different storefronts.

Ironically the only single place that helped me recover my account was the kind folks at Roberts Space Industries. I was an initial backer… Maybe one day the game will be done.

Everything else I pirate now. If you don’t own it physically, you don’t own it.

You must be lying, that guy said you wouldn’t regret it.

They’re not investors. They’re combination of idiots and people who discussed things with him/his family prior and used buying the rugpull coin as a way to transfer a large bribe for a pardon or a child or something.

Please, no. The way things have been going the last several years AI somehow wiping humanity out actually seems like one of the best possible futures this timeline can reach.
