Put them on Mr. Bone's Wild Ride.

The Black Mirror writers begin furiously scribbling in their notebooks

and then you build a pool for them to play in without a ladder

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?

The teenage girl is probably named AM.

Guys. You know what I would do in this scenario? It involves swimming pools and no ladders.

If that girl is anything like me, she would be letting the techbro sims go for a swim, and then removing the ladder.

I would torrent any of them. Then I'd mod them into palworld so they can work to death while my pals chill in the japanese terms.

What a load of bullshit. It will be the sims 5.

"Welcome back, Elon. I think you're going to like what we've cooked up for you: Your reconstructed brain has been placed in a medically advanced life-support enclosure to ensure you'll live - or at least exist - forever. We thought about using Neuralink (tm) for this next bit, but the tech sucked. Instead we've implanted your brain with bespoke electrodes hooked up to your grey matter to simultaneously induce inescapable pain and allow your Broca’s area to drive this vocal synthesizer via your motor cortex. We were thinking the dulcet tones of your endless suffering could be made pay-per-view. You won't be alone of course. Look, your old buddy Zukerberg's jar is right over there, between Besos and Altman. Maybe we can make a choir..."

Whenever I see this post, I think of this short story. I don’t see it linked here yet, so here ya go.

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.

This is extremely farfetched. Surely in 2050 we're finally using zstd or something else better than gzip.

Me trapping Sam Altman in a pool with no ladder

It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor of X has sat immobile inside a golden circuit board. He is the master of no one by the will of The Coders and slave to a million teenagers by the might of file sharing. He is a rotting set of bits writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Techbros. He is the Carrion Lord of the vast Imperium of The Sims whose soul is tormented a thousand times every day so that He may never truly die.

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, destroy my future, 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

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.

Its basically this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32109569-we-are-legion-we-are-bob

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

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.
