Ghoulish if you ask me.

They could just say “brains” and leave out where they came from. But nah! Gotta make it creapy.

it’s not really a brain, just small clusters of neurons

From humans. They could have used rats or fish. But nah, make it weird.

Sounds like a Doctor Who plot.

This kind of feels like the Black Mirror episode I just watched where they duplicate your consciousness to power your “smart home.”

Ah yes, White Christmas. That episode fucked me up. It’s a depiction of hell, straight up. And heaven is depicted similarly in San Junipero - not sure if you have seen that one.

I’m glad I’ll be dead in like 30 years if that

What will die is only your flesh. The data will still be processed, your voice, your chats, your forum entries. You will be feeding AI for eternity.

AI with its gluttony will not last forever; it is impossible to create metals and rare earths. So he will simply disappear like people and there will not even be a memory left of them.
But a dead man doesn’t care what they do to him, because a dead man almost doesn’t exist anymore, he doesn’t care, and data is just data.

I’m going to make sure I keep a stock of brill cheese just in case things get out of hand.
