Oh wow, I’m today years old when I found out what that means.

The Fountain (2006) is always my go to, it’s both aesthetically beautiful and thought provoking.

at most, an 8th-grader

Phew, looks like my 6th grade education is finally paying off!

Jesus Christ that is a beautiful story, thanks for sharing that!

You’re not wrong Walter, you’re just an asshole.

Ahem

I mean, you totally can fake it to make it with those jobs. It’ll just end poorly for you.

His character in Glass Onion is absolutely terrible, I love to hate him in it. He does such a good job with it.

This sounds like Pickton. His farm is close to Vancouver which also is the set for a decent amount of movies, and supposedly some human flesh made it into circulation with pork products.

As a counter point to your question, I am a fully sighted person and I rarely have dreams that involve vision, or only partially involve it. Sort of always blurry/like being in a fog. So dreams for me are far more about the other senses, or just conceptual in nature.

This looks very cool, thanks for sharing!

This is both terrifying and fascinating at the same time. The potential in either direction is immense, imagine having a soundtrack to daily life tailored to what is happening? Would you hear boss music if you mess up at work/school/etc?

How is this viewed by the user is a good question as well. If it’s broadcast on a speaker/projector that everyone else can see what the ai is showing us as well. If it’s only viewable to us by either implants or some sort of smart glass technology then it’s “private” to the user.

Like you mention, the potential abuse of this system is unimaginable. Ads shown directly in our vision, a paid tier that is ad free. Music is shown to be able to effect emotional state easily (movies as an example), what if the soundtrack is used to emphasize certain goals. The ai pushes you to buy a certain car brand over another because said car brand paid the ai company more.

require a decade of fuck ups to reach its potential.

That’s quicker than people, heck I’m going on my 3rd decade and still not at my potential. Or so I like to tell myself.

In this country, you gotta get the pee first. Then when you get the pee, you get the money. Then when you get the money, then you get the power.

Also, if the person has a protracted fight with a disease or simply old age (ie anything that isn’t a sudden death) they rarely look like themselves. One elderly family member had an open casket and I could barely recognize them, they wasted away to half of their normal size.

The more I flush the more water I use.

The more water I use the less money I have.

The less money I have the more sad I am.

I can make minute rice in 55 seconds.

I would do the same, and I would also say next Saturday the 11th just to avoid ambiguity.

I thought suffering leads to the dark side?
