🙄 Acknowledges that part of the problem is Spotify. Goes on to promote Spotify.
"What happens when we "fork" and the bro in the forkpod next-door is Sam Altman and I can't stand him
@bruces Why do so many AI-generated images illustrating space travel or "progress" feature an archaic Space Shuttle?
@bruces Those digital upload people are unrealistically confident that their consciousnesses will be backed up and restored religiously and not left to rot like an old film reel.
@bruces Word!
@bruces maybe the solution is to just sell those B ark people a blockchain enabled dongle with a Wifi antenna, an AI generated booklet on how to drill this in their skull and a cyanide fork acceleration pill.
@bruces motherforkers!
@bruces I call bullshit. Fork 4 is actually Fork 1 and has been happening for a while now. It’s also the only one that actually matters.
@bruces Having thought about it, I think I'd rather spoon.
Of course, this also raises the worrying possibility that humanity might spork, and I don't think anyone's ready for that.
@bruces the earth people hanging out on .. earth ..1 ? or did we decide to make twin earths ? either way i wanna sit outside in nature with a bottle of wine ..
Maybe they got one thing accidentally right though. Everyone on Earth is living in the Arctic because thanks to the pursuit of this farcical techno-dystopia the rest of the planet is uninhabitable.
@bruces I guess it’s just another instance of “fork around, find out”.
On a more serious note, none of these suggested "forks" are actually biologically incompatible, so it seems more like a lifestyle choice, albeit at a larger scale. Since most of the choices fall straight in line with financial capabilities (you can’t have a nice simulation of you running if you’re broke), new options will only widen the social gap some more.
@bruces I don't agree between choosing between valuing terrestrial life and space exploration.
Imhi, both are interlinked
As in, instead of mining and destroying our planet, we should find asteroids with the necessary materials and get those
If we worked towards doing stuff in space, instead of inside our planet, we could surely have both
P.S. Before the "is expensive" crowd comes in, that's because we currently don't calculate the ecological impact in the expenses.We throw that to the future
@bruces maybe you need to reissue Schizmatrix
@bruces this would be a great time to discover paratime technologies and watch humanity Spork
@bruces
I have a better use case for forking. It may or may not involve a fork and Sam Altmann's face.
@bruces
Eh, fork Sam Altman
