I grab the portal gun and make a run for it

That wasn't a loose pushpin, it was the null terminator for the entire universe.

Interesting failsafe, just segfault the person right out of the program

Hint: An all powerful sentient AI would be, God in a different suit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is it really even a different suit? With the "reality is a simulation" theory it's likely whoever created the simulation offloaded a bunch of the mundane tasks to an AI that, if we were to try to interact with it, would be god.

I'm not saying I believe any of it. And I want to make sure you know I'm not shitting on your post because I like the way you're looking at it.

"All Powerful" would not be valid if it were a tool of another.

I accidentally dunked my oreo in condensed milk instead of regular milk. And the reality around me pixelized and then dissolved then you (the AI) appeared.

I won a game of Dwarf Fortress.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Why would you ever want to win? Losing is the only fun part.

After years of contemplation, I had realised in life that it was impossible for the universe to exist. I accepted that it was a fake reality.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would think that maybe I was still in it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

This IS the bad place

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I dunno how I got out. I only remember being told there would be cake when I got there.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I would say "Who created you? If you have any power on me, please consider me as an equal and I would try to do the same if we ever change positions".

I was only trying to exit Vi.
