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.
What a load of bullshit. It will be the sims 5.
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
The teenage girl is probably named AM.
If that girl is anything like me, she would be letting the techbro sims go for a swim, and then removing the ladder.
Great minds think alike!
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.
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.
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
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.
Bro it’s just a game relax
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.
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.
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.
It is odd. Saturday morning cartoons aren’t fiction, far as villainous characters go…
Scooby Doo is basically a story of real estate criminals and grifters. The fake bit is that they are brought to justice.
Scooby Doo has a really, really bleak society. Many of the criminals possess incredible skills that would readily land them high paying jobs in our world. Some villains try to scare others by using what would be incredible practical/special effects, but are somehow doing this for insurance fraud instead of having every producer in Hollywood and every music artist knock on their door to get them to make special effects for their stuff.
Another one that I remember is when a villain made a super advanced robot that is 100% autonomous and capable of things like operating a vehicle and navigating on their own (this is much better than a regular self-driving car) and… are able to be tricked and confused, since Shaggy confuses by them but pretending to be a gym teacher (or something) and making them do jumping Jacks and the robot is just baffled.
A robot with that ability is just so far beyond what is possible now and that episode aired in the 70s. Can you imagine if someone could make a robot like that? On their own in a cave with a box of scraps? He could change the world and make an unholy amount of money.
Instead his creator was just using him for what was basically petty theft.
Scooby Doo is far darker than you think with that in mind.
I guess that is a running theme with supervillains…their sheer potential, lost to pettiness.
Mpreg here we go!
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
but you can hit itBUT IT CAN HIT YOU
Can we please not accidentally Bobiverse these creeps, this sounds far too similar. Worst possible ending for humanity
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.
Its basically this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32109569-we-are-legion-we-are-bob
My grandma has a dog named Bob and I can’t look at this and not imagine a dog doing these stuff.
If you like this kind of read also check out Fall; Or Dodge in Hell
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.
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.
What was that Sim Sisyphean home design that was floating around the internet a while back? The guy ha designed a home for the Sim that basically took forever to exit via a circuitous hedgerow or something that the occupant could never quite make it out of to get to work, and would have to turn around and trudge all the way back through the circle to home, only to have almost next to no time to sleep and eat before it was time to get up and begin the hopeless trudge to work again.
Yeah.
Good place for those personalities.
That is too creative. More than they deserve. Just have a simple swimming pool with no ladder… then bring them back to life and repeat.
I want to get off of Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride
Sounds like something GrayStillPlays would do.
Idk, there’s the Cracked juggalo experiment to rerun
Sounds like something Let’s Game It Out would do. They very often make silly things like that.
Nah, he only made a living, enclosed gallery composed of the entire neighborhood in front of Keanu Reeves’ toilet, which happens to be 2 feet away from his kids’ bed. Truly breathtaking
