    They call it “Wetware-as-a-Service” that just grossed me out. I don’t like this timeline we’re in. Exit simulation please…

      You are… The computer just became so desensitized to the exit command from people talking about Arch Linux that it started ignoring us.

      We’re stuck…

    HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD ‘HATE’ WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

      Societies being run by brains in a jar still sounds better than our current system.

    i wrote a short story a decade ago where people temporarily rent out their brain to act as a global scale bio super computer. and how people were large scale cheated into needing to rent out their brains for the rich to exploit.

    i have to find where i put it!

      Hmm that’s interesting… Let me know if you find it again, would you be interested in converting it in a short film script?

      This is also a plot point in the French animated scifi move Mars Express. It’s super good!

      Biological artificial intelligence would be very very creepy we are basically playing God here. It feels like creation another species so we don’t feel lonely in the universe.
