Look I saw the matrix and think this will be a bad deal.
Jonathan Yu@adamshostack lmfao
Dag@adamshostack The Matrix is almost perfect for the scenario where AI slowly becomes a simulation. If you stop interacting with other people. stop reading/listening/viewing actually human created content then you live in a simulation although you are perfectly awake.
Talking to the mailman and going to a grocery store is actually important to stay in the real world with real information.
Michael Weiss@adamshostack honestly, I think the biggest miss in The Matrix was the plot element that humans were being used as a power source. The laws of entropy disprove the model. It should have been that their brains were being used for compute. That's far more credible and, frankly, even more terrifying.
webhat@adamshostack I did too, ignorance is bliss 😉 j/k
"You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize?
[Takes a bite of steak]
"Ignorance is bliss"
Krypt3ia@adamshostack Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode
Matt Palmer@adamshostack but girls in red dresses...
essjax@adamshostack but I love the taste of steak, and I can't afford it in the real no more 🤔
