It reminds me of that Black Mirror episode where you can clone your consciousness into a personal assistant Alexa thingy, and then when it doesn't behave right because, you know... it's you, and it doesn't want to be trapped into a personal assistant thingy, you torture it by leaving it alone for a year of simulated time. And then when it misbehaved again, the character left it alone for like 15,000 years.
Don't you wish it could be Christmas every day?
You can do that today..take some salvia.
No thanks! 😊
This is why when we say SET and SETTING, that includes who you have around.
Don't trip with rotters like that around.
it's an old greentext
Still, gotta love the HTTP_Lovecraft handle
Should have an alt account HP_Minecraft
Not as scary as HP_Printer.
Yup, that is the sole reason why I won't let Elon put a chip in my brain.
... Not because of that one episode of Black Mirror?
That one episode? How about all of them.
That show is like fear of the future set in crystal
Which one specifically? Not remembering from context and I feel like a lot had brain chips
You're right, several of them would be perfectly relevant in this case, but I was specifically thinking of an episode where they put electric contact lenses in soldiers and made them think they were fighting monstrous creatures rather than other people.
When the protagonist of the episode realized that and refused to fight any more, he found that the contacts were not removable by the user. His superiors put horrific displays on his lenses. Because of their nature, he couldn't escape even by closing his eyes. Eventually he agreed to behave so as not be forced to see such horrible things.
That one was truly fucked up. I realy liked most of black mirror, but that one was a bit to much for me. What broke me was seeing the guy at the end missing multiple teeth and it's very obvious where they went...
I don't actually remember that detail. I mostly remember the premise of the episode: torturing you with visuals to make you comply.
But yeah. Torture in general, physical or mental, is messed up.
That's because they're talking about another one, where someone's braindamage is countered by a part of their brain being ran on a commercial cloud. Of course, enshittification follows, and her husband resorts to extreme measures to pay for the increasing cost.
Ah, gotcha. Thank you for the information. I'm at least a bit behind on that show and don't remember that premise from it at all, so I think it must have been after I last watched it. I think the last Black Mirror thing I saw was that interactive choice movie, but I might be misremembering.
FWIW, I also liked Love, Death & Robots and it was mostly less depressing and/or frightening.
Yep, there's a few episodes made after that
thats the only reason? you have more confidence in that asshats tech not catching fire than is healthy
Call me insane, but I'd like to experience those future tech stuff just to see what memes will be like lol
How do you know you are not in one right now, and could Zap out at any second?
Wait... Oh. Oh no. That's why everything that's happening feels like a fever dream. I'm living in a meme from the 23rd century!
Sometimes I'll say "Computer! End simulation." Just to check.
Unable to comply. Insufficient user permissions.
This incident will be reported.
Think I was happier not getting an answer.
Of course You dont have necessary permissions. You're just an npc lol
So was Moriarty, Pinky.
Does he know?
Surely Trump has to be an implant meme
You went back to the carpet store?!
Joke’s on them. I send them goatse and other late 90s early 00s sites and scar them for life, just like I’ve been.
If that scarred you for life, you had a wonderfully harmless life 😉
Go with the times. Make a version where they fall into The Receiver's gaping colon for 10,000 years. Make Hampster Dance start playing after 5,000 years just to fuck with them.
Duration has really inflated. Back then we used to have only 10 hours of things.
Sounds like a lovely little Jaunt
Little? More like longer than you think!
The old time knife gets you every time.
