yeah but lives don't have one arc you'd have to stretch over longer runtime like movies and I'm sure (if their basic needs were otherwise provided for yada yada yada) a lot of people would want to watch infinite seasons of their favorite shows or at least they're more likely than not to prefer the show get renewed unless not only is the ending satisfying but there's no more places the story could go that the ending leaves hanging

it's not the same thing, but could we leverage people into overthrowing capitalism via that using the simulation theory

still based off someone existing and for an original hologram to be worth seeing they'd basically have to be a full fake-person

around the same time r/collapse changed to apocalyptic power fantasy

Are you just being pessimistic as if you're saying that if it's possible we have to invent it when the show says we should that's only 40 years and a couple months away

so therefore if I or others help you actually build a moon-sized space station they'll succeed at warp drive ;)

friendly reminder that warp drive is allowed to be "ahead of schedule" because the lack of Eugenics Wars in the 90s and the lack of existence of Star Trek the show in its own past prove we're not in the prime timeline (doesn't mean we're in the mirror one either, the divergence point was either long before our time or at first contact depending on who you ask and if for whatever reason despite it seeming contrary to their values they had Star Trek as a show in their past they'd appear almost psychic about their encounters with prime timeline people due to having seen those episodes before)

why does this kind of read (even if unintentionally) like so high-school-level petty you might as well ask if your former bullies/the popular kids at your old high school will have their glamorous jobs automated so they'd be forced to do manual labor to survive

I had an idea for what at least is a conceptual reboot of Cop Rock in the sense of musical police procedural, it's just since musical shows have now been able to be taken seriously mine would be less ridiculous, story-tone more like Castle and songs feeling more like the non-covers from Smash

I'm a screenwriter and I hope to get the rights to make an animated movie of the The Addams Family musical once it's long enough after the latest Addams Family movie and since I think she can sing and voice acting gives more age-leeway Aubrey Plaza's actually my dream voice-casting for the musical's older depiction of Wednesday

so does that mean we can stop collapse by stopping it or we have to let things play out because rome didn't stop having gladiators

but the more they do the harder it is for others to do that moral thing

so how many kids should that couple have adopted or fostered instead and how hard would that make it for others to do so

> There's no way to be sure your "consciousness" doesn't die every night and wake up as a new person who thinks they are you every morning.

and therefore no way to be sure any number of those don't wake up in a simulation etc. making any dreams of uploading the perceived continuous "you" moot as you could be already there

neither affected show quality

for those who like competition shows, it's at least something different

there's people who'd be willing to wait if quality's worth it

so, what, we should just plug into experience machines because capitalism sucks and we use drugs and read fiction instead of, I don't know, having real heroic quests defeating real villains or whatever the fuck

how is that relevant unless you think they see the cattle as us

reminds me of this one video I saw of a Poketuber trying to use one of these AI art generators and the Pokemon they wanted to created turned out fine but every time they were trying to make the human characters and got a female one, she had an ample bosom or at least bosom focus from the picture's "camera angle" and one picture was a literal upskirt shot

then that justifies not potentially triggering an infinite regress through a redundant discovery

so we just need to inspire people with the promise-via-parallel of immortality to join a movement for housing, food and healthcare as human rights and have among the movement good enough hackers to combat the surveillance state to make those rights a guarantee so immortality is

or we might as well just (as not curing aging/achieving-what's-immortality-for-all-intents-and-purposes would technically do on a longer timescale) kill everyone so no one can ever get a god complex again?

especially because this one's visible from america and on an election night

then couldn't we save it
