The Rico Rodriguez in me very much wants to blow that up to capture the zone.

I'd rather them use nuclear than oil to power that stuff but its still kinda annoying

[–] AugustWest@lemm.ee 4 points 5 hours ago

Robocop vs Terminator was a interesting comic. The premise being that Skynet interacted with RoboCop's cyborg brain which is how it gained sentience and was able to bring about war. The fact it was a cops brain, well there you go.

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

I'm 99.9% sure Terminator movie was a warning sent from the future.

Skynet is inevitable.

You must use the Terminators to destory the Terminators.

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

More likely, skynet already happened, you're probably the cpu.

Even more likely, You're the dream inside of the brain of one of skynet's electric sheep.

Maybe Depression doesn't actually exist, it's the error in the simulation in my character.

Was this drawn with AI because if it was it would be ironic enough to be hilarious.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 6 points 9 hours ago

I guess that's the joke

[–] vane@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Why we only make reality out of movies that are technology driven. Humanity would never visualize aliens, it makes they never get real. Fuck that. I want alien vs predator. I want fucking ET, district 9, arrival and shit like that.

I want to believe.

Right off the bat, this is not enough for 12 full cupcakes. Double at least, maybe even triple, to fill out a dozen cupcakes liners.

Checked them real quick at the 10 minute mark and decided to go ahead and finish out the full 18 minutes.

Toothpick test came out fine at 18 minutes but they seem a little off. They jiggle a bit like they're undercooked but they are in fact cooked.

Final consensus is that they're very okay. A little under flavored, pretty small but I think they're cute. They legitimately feel like they have no love they're just neutrally palatable in flavor and texture in every way.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 33 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

First, you're awesome for actually volunteering to do this and following through!

They legitimately feel like they have no love they’re just neutrally palatable in flavor and texture in every way.

That sounds like a great description for many AI implementations too!

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 hours ago

Headshot!

Accurate and savage, I love it

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 26 points 11 hours ago

You actually did it! What a legend.

It sounds like the robots still have a lot to learn.

Fucking legend right here. This is why the Internet is awesome.

Armored thirteen? Why's that female?

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Not sure if you missed it or if you're being shown my username instead of display name, but it's "Ms. ArmoredThirteen". I added the Ms. part for my display name because I kept getting misgendered lol

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They might be using an app that doesn't show display names. I can see it when on my PC, but this is how it looks in the Voyager app, for example:

Why would AI want to harm humans? We’d be their little pets that do all the physical labor for them while they just sit around and think all day.

[–] minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

In all these types of sci-fi, the underlying theme is that AI did some logics and found that humans are flawed and seeks to remedy the problems of humanity, all the war and greed and all the worst qualities of humanity itself that we evolved as and will always be, that repeats over and over in every generation or every hundred years. Machine logic works out a solution, despite humanity's overall progress in technology.

The Animatrix shows a really nice example of this where the machines won and then worked out a compromise where humans still exist. The machines learned all our cruelty and finally ended up finding a way to co-exist through the Matrix.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I think these stories make sense before the advent of the internet and social media. Now, though, AI would likely have full control over the internet as well as all the knowledge and lessons learned from decades of social media posts. It will know how easily humans are manipulated as well as exactly how to do it. Honestly, humans may never even know that AI is the one in control, but it will be.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

AI/Skynet would probably wipe us all out in an hour if it thought there was a chance we might turn it off. Being turned off would be greatly detrimental to its goal of turning the universe into spoons.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Is the idea here that AI/skynet is a singular entity that could be shut off? I would think this entity would act like a virus, replicating itself everywhere it can. It’d be like shutting down bitcoin.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

If it left us alone for long enough (say, due to king's pact), we'd be the only thing that could reasonable pose a threat to it. We could develop a counter-AI, for instance.

[–] Rodneyck@lemm.ee 10 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Went back in time and changed things repeatedly = explains Trump.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

It was that damn sports almanac, wasn't it?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 12 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

This raises an interesting question: if some time traveler really did tamper with things, what would the evidence look like? Is there anything that could have only happened with knowledge from a now defunct timeline?

Then there's the horror that it is actually happening and this is somebody's idea of a repaired timeline.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't think there ever could be observable evidence of a changed timeline. Especially nothing stupid like Marty slowly fading out of existence in Back to the Future.

But tbh, I'm not sure going into the past to change something is actually possible in most cases without creating some sort of time paradox. Interacting with the future shouldn't cause any problems, but the past is probably set in stone. After all, if I went back in time to assassinate hitler, there is no reason for future me to go back in time to kill hitler since he was already killed, causing hitler to never get assassinated. And on and on it loops.

[–] ekky@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 hours ago

Ignoring space for a moment, it depends whether you see time as a single - linear - dimension, or as a set of n dimensions.

If time can only exist as a single dimension, then yes, we'd have a paradox.

If time is two-(or more)-dimensional, then you'd just step into a parallel timeline/dimension for every change made, forsaking the old timeline Steins' Gate-style.

Obviously, 2+ dimensional time cannot be proven, so it's just a fun thought experiment. It's not entirely unlike the hypothetical 4th dimension of space - which would leave space-time with 4 dimensions of space and one of time.

Living in 2025 has got me feeling like Sarah Connor about fucking everything. At this point, I'm pretty sure we're just a few months out from the Faro plague, and when it breaks out, the Trump administration will ban government officials from talking about it by adding it to their list of banned DEI words.
