unclevlad Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Ehh...only Bart's head would be truly dangerous. I will grant this would be among the more obnoxious...but not particularly dangerous. Mind, if our vivisectionist included a Krusty head, we might have a real problem.............

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 A SCIENTIST IS CROWDFUNDING AN EXPERIMENT TO CHECK IF WE LIVE IN A SIMULATION I love the article tagline: THIS COULD BE MASSIVE — OR IT COULD BE NOTHING.

Pariah Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm pretty safe in saying that if this were a simulation, I've been here long enough that I would've noticed something by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you were instantiated five minutes ago with preprogrammed memories and personality. Hopefully this patch will fix the bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Just remember, deja vu is the masking experience when the simulation loads an edited version of your OS and/or memstore into your persona. It's a lot like retconning in that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 I am fairly confident this guy Vopson is a crackpot. Any scientifically literate person can figure out that his apparatus would need detectors made of pure atmpospherium, and his planned budget isn't nearly large enough to cover that expense. A little more seriously... I followed the link back to Vopson's article in some e-periodical called "The Conversation," and was not impressed. The "arguments" for a simulated universe are based on wooly analogies that really aren't that analogous. His plan to test his "Mass/Energy/Information Principle" by annihilating electrons and positrons also seems a little... well, little. Physicists have been measuring electron-positron collisions for decades. I would ask Vopson what he expects to find with his planned tabletop apparatus that CERN, Fermilab, Brookhaven and other labs missed. So I smell a crackpot or a con. Still, it could be a good supervillain origin. A radical theory, self-funding a homemade apparatus because the mocking tongues of the Academy make regular funding impossible, the potential to rip a hole in reality itself... classic.

Cancer Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hey, it staves off boredom on an afternoon when you're waiting on the underlings to get back to you. A bit sloppy in that it double- or triple-counts fatalities. In the crater, in the fireball, in the wind blast, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 OTOH, it does provide you with hints toward pleasant speculations about disposing of recalcitrant enemies by letting them undergo hypersonic atmosphere entry and lighting up the countryside briefly. Very briefly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted January 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Inspired by the chat bot discussion in another thread, but it seems more apropos here. Hovertext Spoiler Really shouldn't have given every single chatbot access to the nuclear codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
