For when you need a laugh!

The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Posts and comments that are hateful, trolling, inciting, and/or overly negative will be removed at the moderators' discretion.

Please follow all slrpnk.net rules and community guidelines

Have fun!

sources and image transcript:

  • the top half of the image is screenshot of this article about a startup claiming to be able to use ultrasound to induce lucid dreams so that "people can work in their sleep". (spoiler: it's vaporware)
  • the lower half of the image is a screenshot from this (imo worth-watching) 2 minute video from 2016: Hayao Miyazaki's thoughts on an artificial intelligence with the subtitle "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." There is a more detailed description of that video here. (Guillermo del Toro agrees.)

Came to ask for the source on the bottom. What a funny quote.

Thanks for making the fediverse more accessible!

…goodness that is dark.

Can’t say I’ve ever felt that way about a tech demo!
