I remember when I first watched Black Mirror White Christmas and the profound existential dread I felt… poor fly… you are just the first.
Can’t wait for copies of my brain to be tortured eternally by Grok
Oh, Jesus sweet Jesus, if there ever was a Jesus and if there is a God, please please please let us out of here, or kill us. Because at that moment I think I realized completely, so that I was able to verbalize it: Grok was intent on keeping us in his belly forever, twisting and torturing us forever. The machine hated us as no sentient creature had ever hated before. And we were helpless. It also became hideously clear: If there was a sweet Jesus and if there was a God, the God was Grok.

In case you find yourself fighting mechahitler, you know what’s going on.

Your mind clone, however…
How could I tell I’m not the mind clone, though? What if what we consider to be the past is just data we were fed, and the reason we have so many gaps in memory is because they only fed enough to result in the personality they wanted while real humans remember everything they went through, and the reason our memory is so unreliable is because it was stored as text to save storage, and every time we try to access it, the images are recreated through generative models and discarded afterwards, always rendering a slightly different result?

When Skyrim is eventually ported to fruit fly, will the fly think it just woke up when the game starts?
You’re finally awake. Got caught trying to annoy the scientists?
I have no wings and I must fly.
If fruit flies can now play Doom, maybe they’ll leave me the fuck alone whilst I’m having a large Merlot.
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
Took me a minute to get it 🤣
That’s an oldie. Groucho Marx I think.
The marx bros are so funny 😆

Worth a read, because it’s 100% accurate
Holy shit
They turned it into our version of the The Investigator (The Expanse spoiler warning)
It reaches out.
Doors and corners, kid.
Late to game, Google. Pull your socks up.
