no mouth to scream unfortunately

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!"

Oh boy! Scientific horrors beyond my comprehension!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago

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

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.

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!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours 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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

This is also a plot point in the French animated scifi move Mars Express. It's super good!

speaking about biological computers

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Omg. That's so much worse. What the fck, Melbourne? (.-.)

Finally a computer that can feel pain.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day 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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day 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

Is this just a weird pregnancy announcement?

How long before AI runs on this? We need to stop.... I'm scared. This is black mirror level shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

How long before AI runs on this?

Biological artificial intelligence would be very very creepy we are basically playing God here. It feels like creation another species so we don't feel lonely in the universe.

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.

Anyone ever seen ,"Psycho-Pass" (anime)?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

At least there you know there's a brain somewhere

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

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

Wake up, Neo.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

This is very prelude to hell

If only there was some other kind of biological computer that already existed… hmmmm….

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but that one has issues with exhaustion, needs breaks now and then... oh, wait, neurons need that too.

This prison... To hold, ME?
