The Black Mirror writers begin furiously scribbling in their notebooks
and then you build a pool for them to play in without a ladder
I’d just download it and delete it 👌
Purely theoretical, if you inherit, let’s say, Elon Musk’s money, and you then resurrect him. Do you have to give that money back?
What a load of bullshit. It will be the sims 5.
In 2050?
I think you might be a bit too optimistic.
A bid for immortality on the back of an LLM is just… asinine. What are they thinking?! That’s like saying we can bring Shakespeare back from the dead because we created a very clever digital knot based on all his written works, and he can only speak to us from a web browser or text terminal. Do these animals really think they can just model their Reddit posts and live as a ghost in the machine after that?
I would love to hear what Kurzweil has to say about all this.
Kurzweil seems to have a very positive outlook on ai and the singularity, but completely ignores the glaring fact that its all owned and controlled by psychopath billionaires.
Plus putting shit in your body, that handles everything your braincells already do slightly faster (just faster so you can get squeezed out of your money faster) is definitely great for human development. We will become just a body remotely controlled by a corporation’s server. And imagine intelligence being paywalled.
there’s likely a mod for giving sim periods. it’s likely a matter of messing with some config files to give them permanent endomitosis periods
Wicked whims does adult sims mod stuff, I understand. Dunno about endometriosis, but I’m sure it’s doable. N
they better, gonna give them techbros an interesting afterlife
ITT: people supporting torture and violence against tech entrepreneurs because of post-hoc political justifications.
These comments are operating under the hypothetical premise that it is literally a human consciousness. They’re essentially describing what they want to do to people if there were no legal consequences. It’s very revealing in many ways.
It’s like the mentality of a terrorist breeding ground here. Yikes.
Bro it’s just a game relax
The world is burning and millions, billions of people are at risk. All our resources are going into techbro crap with no regard to the environment. And you’re worried about billionaires getting bullied.
Yeah sit down.
Tech bros literally destroying the very planet we live in, causing untold misery… you quiet
A meme about them maybe facing consequences in the far future… you: pearl clutching
sit this one out
Downloading your consciousness next have fun being a Minecraft villager.
ps, Modding Elon’s consciousness to play with in KSP does sound fun
Idk if legal consequences were any “moral” these people would’ve been punished for appearing on the epstein list.
It’s an impossible premise, and it will remain that way for even the speculatively distant future. People riffing off that is not a sign of the moral failing of lemmy, you need to calm down.
Pretty optimistic to think we’ll be able to upload and downloaded consciousness in the next 25 years.
If even possible, it’d be centuries. Chances are everyone alive today will go the same route as every other human who has ever lived.
We can do it today. Its shit but you can do it.
No we can’t.
I suppose to some extent, what is it to download consciousness? An LLM trained off someone would be like a pretty shit version of that.
I’m actually surprised no tech bro tried that.
going to die? give an AI company access to all your data, emails, conversations, photos… so when you die they can keep a llm fine tuned to sound like you and be your digital ghost people can talk to. then if they get attached, jack up prices for grieving people.
Yep, it isn’t real. But “download your consciousness” is never going to be real.
We’re probably a few decades away of fully mapping a human brain, this will likely be the next human genome like trillion dollar project. but from that to simulate it and run it? probably another couple decades
They think they’re going to live on their island fortresses with an army of slave robots, and the occasional actual slave.
They think the LLM hallucination problem will be ironed out in a couple of years.
They think longevity drug therapy is just a few years away.
I think they’re very wrong. They can throw all the money and electricity they want at these two fantasies, and they will remain fantasies. Unfortunately, we’re going to let them beat us all to hell over this… until we won’t anymore.
They know they’re in a race against an uprising, they just think they’re going to win this time.
They think the LLM hallucination problem will be ironed out in a couple of years.
That one is a tad more realistic than uploading human consciousness.
not unless they pivot on the basic principles of the LLM’s, instead of attempting to force a square peg into a circle hole.
Can we please not accidentally Bobiverse these creeps, this sounds far too similar. Worst possible ending for humanity
Mpreg here we go!
Guys. You know what I would do in this scenario? It involves swimming pools and no ladders.
wasn’t it no bridges?
Too slow, too kind.
What kids like i want my character to be a seditious pedofile narcissist who is trying to dismantle democracy, dismantle the education system, take away women’s rights, build a mass surveillance AI to subjugate all of humanity and ultimately end up hiding in a bunker when humanity either turns on them or they unleash some kind of evil depopulation plan. Fun. I don’t get how they don’t understand that they are the villain
They watched 80s and 90s Saturday morning cartoons and thought the bad guys were actually the good guys with good plans of bringing law and order to a chaotic world and the good guys were the bad guys because they did woke shit like have token female/non-white characters and did things like help people without demanding a 50 year contract and ownership of their children.
I’d put them into a boilerplate game where there is just a green floor and blue sky and 1 skeleton that doesn’t do anything but you can hit it.
given how simple the simulation is you can make it run faster, one hour of your time is a month for them. let’s see how they handle years of isolation
I bet you can run a simulation way faster than a meat computer. Like millions of times faster.
that really depends on the hardware, currently? I doubt it,
Hardware in 2050 of course!
but you can hit itBUT IT CAN HIT YOU
Its basically this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32109569-we-are-legion-we-are-bob
Well worth a read, especially if you like Andy Weir.
Better than most of Andy Weir’s books. Even tho bob is a bit of a Mary Sue.
Very much enjoyed the whole series.
There is a lot of it also in a Black Mirror Episode - USS Calllister.
I think it is also the only episode with two parts.
There is also the show “Upload” which is about a digital afterlife once you die.
