So the goal is creating a completely destroyed human being. No resocialisation or anything?

Have you met republiQan Tough-on-Crime? Suffering is absolutely the only thing they care about.

And here was I thinking locking up a murder is for the protection of the public…

Now we have murderers who just spent the last 1000 years reading philosophy books.

Just spends 1000 years studying how no to he caught.

Isn’t this a black mirror episode already?

What would the purpose of this even be?

Nothing outside causing suffering.

I don’t really understand why that would be an objective for anyone.

I don’t want to say it, but if we ever manage to get to the point of extracting data from this, it might be used as a training base for AI.
…BRB writing up a physiological sci-fi/horror novel.

Its longer than you think!

Its eternity in there

Well that’s terrifying… I might watch the show if it ever comes out

What if we are already serving our “1,000 year sentence” and instead we’re unknowingly developing a way to go deeper into the inception?

Are we inventing it just so O’Brien can suffer?

I have seen outer limits and deep space 9 episodes based on this idea and they definitely weren’t inspirational stories…

There’s also a terrifying short story by Stephen King on the subject.

Not saying this won’t be incredibly lucrative once the tax dollars start rolling in but punishment can only make so much money. Give someone a thousand years exciting experience in 8 hours and people will gladly sell their remaining 16 for it.

This technology existing would essentially be the end of all knowledge-sector jobs, instantly. It eliminates the value of your time, which means the labor market would almost definitely use it to pay wages VASTLY below minimum wage-per-perceived hour. People would take that bargain. You only have to work ONE day a week and we pay you a million dollars a year! ...that one day a week will be time chambered up to 15 years, though.
Why pay one ace coder a bigshot salary when you can pay a whole village in the developing world to spend as much time as the problem could possibly need the same price and they'll still finish by Thursday?
The economic ramifications are just beyond my fathoming, but I know it cannot possibly work in a society which has any kind of resource scarcity.

I doubt you’d get anything useful out of it. The idea is that it messes with your time perception, making you feel as if you’ve spent a huge amount of time in whatever emotional state you’re in. It’s not going to actually overclock your brain to run at a thousand times its normal speed.

if you haven’t seen it, I think you might like the animated series Pantheon.
Your comment made me think of it, very much.

Right? Give me a Saturday that feels like a 15 year vacation. That might help with burnout.

“Huh…ok…let me think, I know I used to remember how to do this…”
“What? I taught you last week.”
“Yeah, but that was fifteen years ago. I’ve been traveling the world for the past decade.”

Team of scientists in an undisclosed location somewhere in Argentina.

Sure. Let’s test it on the scientists who invented it first though.

Exactly what I was thinking!
