Didn’t know we would get the Matrix this fast
or the space station in enterprise, that abducted aliens and use thier brains the same way.
Harlan Ellison - “They did what?”
Are they taking applications to be the neurons
No, they hope to pioneer and corner the market for Neurons as-a-Service.
I wish them the best of luck. Self-hosting your own neurons is getting to be incredibly taxing.
Don’t build the Torment Nexus
Title of my favorite book about building a torment nexus!
I mean… could we please not turn to dystopias for ideas?
We could also refrain from turning to fantasy and sci-fi to look for serious answers on how to develop technology or structure society. They are stories designed to tell a tale that sells copies, not necessarily as accurate or rigorous predictions of things to come.
You kind of misunderstood why dystopias developed in the first place.
A dystopia doesn’t have to be science fiction. There are plenty of warnings and social commentary in stories that don’t have to actually come true as told in the text to be relevant enough to pay attention and apply it to reality. Are you suggesting that none of any past scifi has ever had anything important to the real world in either technology, application of it, or social dangers?
That’s the idea. Most of this type of media is meant to serve as a warning, not a roadmap. Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t glorification of fighting a dystopia, a warning that if we allow this dystopia to happen, we have no option but to fight from a worse position.
Pantheon.
Is that the AI fusion of Raytheon and Palantir?
We getting 40k Cogitators before GTA 6
God damn that is the first thought that popped into my head as well. I can’t believe I am falling in to chaos. I really thought I would make it to Tau space before I got corrupted.
But can it run DOOM?
“What is my purpose?” “You run Doom.” “Oh my god…”
Ngl, pretty sick
As a teenager, playing doom was pretty much my dream job.
