This is unironically the most interesting accidental showcase of their psyche I've seen 😭 all the comments saying this is a convincing sim argument when half of the points for it are not points

Usually their arguments give me anxiety but this is actually deluded lol

Only rationalists (and possibly Chat-GPT) have the spark of life. The rest of us? Unfortunately we're computationally efficient p-zombies. Mere cardboard cutouts designed to give flavor text to motivate the main characters.

Remember not to offer player characters any SP Potions, that was last universe when we were in the RPG universe!

    Actually, as some of the main opponents of the would-be AGI creators, us sneerers are vital to the simulation's integrity.

    Also, since the simulator will probably cut us all off once they've seen the ASI get started, by delaying and slowing down rationalists' quest to create AGI and ASI, we are prolonging the survival of the human race. Thus we are the most altruistic and morally best humans in the world!
