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.

I would mod 'em in minecraft villagers. This is all i can say, my lawyer said to not continue.

[-] psoul@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Hahaaa, I’d mod them into fun Rimworld characters.

[-] ultrafastsloth@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Oh no, Jeff was hit by a space junk while building his simple rocket and lost his leg! And Elon is there, on ketamine aaaand he overdosed by smoking a blunt and is lying unconscious. And all the robo cat droids broke down so no one can save them. Damn you Randy.

I was thinking upload them into a twink femboy fuck doll but your idea is good too.

[-] alaphic@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

what did twink femboy fuck dolls ever do to deserve that?

[-] grue@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Normally I don't kink shame, but ew. Twink femboys are one thing, but getting it on with tech bro consciousnesses is where I have to draw the line!

I think putting peter thiel into the body of a cum powered maid bot would be ethical and good

It doesn't even matter what you do to them. You can torture them forever and you can choose whether they can remember or not.

A better hell of their own making I cannot think of.

"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.

ah sweet man made horrors beyond my understanding

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 months ago

That was a great story, thanks for sharing. I love how the voice of the article sounds exactly like I'd expect from the kind of article we might read today. It reminded me a little of the 1972 "Lenna image" of Lena Forsén in Playboy that was frequently used for illustrating image processing algorithms (a practice that is now banned in most relevant journals.

I also liked how the story mentioned fiction about brain uploading. That was very meta, and I enjoyed it to an unreasonable degree.

[-] CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago

Oh! I bet that’s where the name of the thing comes from! If you go back into the link, Lena is at the top of the page, and the original draft shared the name.

Thanks for that added context!

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Man, that was a depressing reading

[-] CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It is. If you like the concept though, the animated show Pantheon starts similarly, but goes an entirely different depressing direction :)

Great story, I thought of this too. What I like about this story is that so much of the horror is implied.

excerpt

MMAcevedo's demeanour and attitude contrast starkly with those of nearly all other uploads taken of modern adult humans, most of which boot into a state of disorientation which is quickly replaced by terror and extreme panic. Standard procedures for securing the upload's cooperation such as red-washing, blue-washing, and use of the Objective Statement Protocols are unnecessary. This reduces the necessary computational load required in fast-forwarding the upload through a cooperation protocol

...

MMAcevedo develops early-onset dementia at the age of 59 with ideal care, but is prone to a slew of more serious mental illnesses within a matter of 1–2 subjective years under heavier workloads. In experiments, the longest-lived MMAcevedo underwent brain death due to entropy increase at a subjective age of 145.

...

Towards the end of his life, as it became possible to run simulated humans in banks of millions at hundred-fold time compression, Acevedo indicated that being uploaded had been the greatest mistake of his life, and expressed a wish to permanently delete all copies of MMAcevedo.

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 months ago

!I agree. I think the technical tone of the story was great for keeping that eerie distance that makes the reader do the work of understanding the horror.

I found the time bit most creepy. When it first mentions about telling him what date it was, I felt unnerved because at that point, I had no way to know how long after the initial upload this piece was written from, in narrative. The sense of disorientation from this made me empathise even harder with MMAcevedo.

I think probably the part I found most horrifying was the bit discussing the kinds of work that MMAcevedo is useful for. I know a lot of people who work in research — enough that I know that academic nerds like Acevedo tend to find menial, repetitive work that doesn't engage their brains to be especially soul destroying. But I suppose that's the benefit of MMAcevedo right? No need to worry about destroying a person's soul if they're not a person, and they (are legally considered to) lack a soul. !<

Oh my God that is horrifying. Reminds me of "I have no mouth and I must scream"

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.

Me trapping Sam Altman in a pool with no ladder

[-] bampop@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

There should be a few billionaires trapped together. After all, leaving them without anything to eat would just be mean.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

You’ll get a .7z wrapped inside of a .rar and you’ll like it.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

I had a serious love/hate relationship with that game.

Semi Spoiler:Playing it while going through a midlife crisis where I finally had to accept the inevitability of death didn't help.

The funniest thing here is thinking that The Sims 4 is still the most current iteration of the game in 2050.

[-] Jentu@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago

It also seems entirely plausible.

[-] dankm@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Valve can't count to 3, EA can't count to 5.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 12 points 2 months ago

This is what 99% of the "cameos" are on Sora. The 1% that aren't Sam Altman doing weird shit are posted by his staff.

Wow sims 4 really had a long life.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's still being supported, but who knows for how much longer after the Saudi/Trump buyout. It's most definitely going to be the last Sims game as EA gets hacked apart and gutted for profit in the coming months.

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