    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?

      Hmmm, a question that affects this is whether a resurrected person be considered the original or a genetically identical twin?

        Not optimistic i just dont think EA is creative enough to make new dlc that long. They have to release 5 so they can put out all the same dlc on the new one.

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

    A bid for immortality on the back of an LLM is just… asinine. What are they thinking?! That’s like saying we can bring Shakespeare back from the dead because we created a very clever digital knot based on all his written works, and he can only speak to us from a web browser or text terminal. Do these animals really think they can just model their Reddit posts and live as a ghost in the machine after that?

    I would love to hear what Kurzweil has to say about all this.

      Kurzweil seems to have a very positive outlook on ai and the singularity, but completely ignores the glaring fact that its all owned and controlled by psychopath billionaires.

        Plus putting shit in your body, that handles everything your braincells already do slightly faster (just faster so you can get squeezed out of your money faster) is definitely great for human development. We will become just a body remotely controlled by a corporation’s server. And imagine intelligence being paywalled.

    there’s likely a mod for giving sim periods. it’s likely a matter of messing with some config files to give them permanent endomitosis periods

    They think they’re going to live on their island fortresses with an army of slave robots, and the occasional actual slave.

    They think the LLM hallucination problem will be ironed out in a couple of years.

    They think longevity drug therapy is just a few years away.

    I think they’re very wrong. They can throw all the money and electricity they want at these two fantasies, and they will remain fantasies. Unfortunately, we’re going to let them beat us all to hell over this… until we won’t anymore.

    They know they’re in a race against an uprising, they just think they’re going to win this time.

      That one is a tad more realistic than uploading human consciousness.

        not unless they pivot on the basic principles of the LLM’s, instead of attempting to force a square peg into a circle hole.

    What kids like i want my character to be a seditious pedofile narcissist who is trying to dismantle democracy, dismantle the education system, take away women’s rights, destroy my future, build a mass surveillance AI to subjugate all of humanity and ultimately end up hiding in a bunker when humanity either turns on them or they unleash some kind of evil depopulation plan. Fun. I don’t get how they don’t understand that they are the villain

      They watched 80s and 90s Saturday morning cartoons and thought the bad guys were actually the good guys with good plans of bringing law and order to a chaotic world and the good guys were the bad guys because they did woke shit like have token female/non-white characters and did things like help people without demanding a 50 year contract and ownership of their children.

        It is odd. Saturday morning cartoons aren’t fiction, far as villainous characters go…

        Scooby Doo is basically a story of real estate criminals and grifters. The fake bit is that they are brought to justice.

          Scooby Doo has a really, really bleak society. Many of the criminals possess incredible skills that would readily land them high paying jobs in our world. Some villains try to scare others by using what would be incredible practical/special effects, but are somehow doing this for insurance fraud instead of having every producer in Hollywood and every music artist knock on their door to get them to make special effects for their stuff.

          Another one that I remember is when a villain made a super advanced robot that is 100% autonomous and capable of things like operating a vehicle and navigating on their own (this is much better than a regular self-driving car) and… are able to be tricked and confused, since Shaggy confuses by them but pretending to be a gym teacher (or something) and making them do jumping Jacks and the robot is just baffled.

          A robot with that ability is just so far beyond what is possible now and that episode aired in the 70s. Can you imagine if someone could make a robot like that? On their own in a cave with a box of scraps? He could change the world and make an unholy amount of money.

          Instead his creator was just using him for what was basically petty theft.

          Scooby Doo is far darker than you think with that in mind.

    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.

    I’d put them into a boilerplate game where there is just a green floor and blue sky and 1 skeleton that doesn’t do anything but you can hit it.
