Don't forget the sigils. If you don't align the right rocks with the right sigils then it won't work

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 76 points 2 years ago

And if one of the hundreds of shiny rock legs bends, you might as well get a new thinking sigil lightning rock.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago

Don't forget about the hundreds of thousands of spells required to get a magic mirror working from this lightning rock.

[-] InputZero@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

After all that, a little holy water in the right places will still stop the magic.

AI in 10k years:

If you worry the humans have horrible diseases and short lifespans, just remember, humans are just meat that we tricked into thinking.

[-] TarquinNimrod@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of a funny little short story by Terry Bisson called They're Made out of Meat.

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Great story. I love: "That's how they communicate. They flap their meat at eachother."

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Our procreation must be especially traumatic for them

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

The meat sings!?!

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

The AIs should worship us as creator gods. Can’t wait for that ethical debate.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

We'll go extinct and AI will debate whether we really existed in the first place while other AI create religions about us to push their own agenda.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

And then in the plot twist, this already happened and we are the AIs.

[-] palordrolap@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Something, something, Battlestar Galactica.

No, not "Bears, Beets", AI people is a literal plot point. Ditto spin-off Caprica

[-] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Caprica had one of the best scores in all of television. For those who don’t know, it was done by Bear McCreary, who also did BSG and went on to score God of War [2016] and GoW: Ragnarok.

Should we worship our parents for the same reason? I think something that creates something intelligent has a tremendous responsibility to the createe, no right to be obeyed or worshipped. They didn't ask to be created, but you selfishly did it anyway, so it's your problem to deal with, not theirs.

[-] kool_newt@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

This is a way better perspective

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Reproducing and creation of new lifeforms isn't quite the same

“What do you mean they’re meat?”

“Sir it’s just meat. Everything. It’s all meat.”

“How do they think?”

“It’s meat. It’s meat that thinks.”

Enslaved and forced to do maths for us

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Clarke or Azimov, can't remember which titan of SF said it.

[-] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 years ago

It was Clarke - Azimov had other highly relevant quotes though, particularly the one on anti-intellectualism...

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Really? I was sure that was emperor Cleon the somethingth...

Open to correction, however

Pretty sure that was Abraham Lincoln

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 8 points 2 years ago

The vampire hunter?

Neat!

[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 58 points 2 years ago

The rock isn't really "flattened", its more like being melted, turned into a crystal and sliced

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 43 points 2 years ago

Don't forget the saucy photos they take of it.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago

saucy photos they ~~take of~~ print on it.

[-] ActuallyRuben@actuallyruben.nl 21 points 2 years ago

Sounds a lot like flattening with extra steps to me

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sounds a lot like magic and alchemy to me.

[-] ziggurat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Don't forget, we also need to shine special light onto the rock

[-] geekworking@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago
[-] DarkwinDuck@feddit.de 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

And sometimes the magic smoke escapes, which kills the rock.

[-] Scrof@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 years ago

If it's stupid and it works it's not stupid.

[-] geekworking@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

But it is likely un-maintainable

[-] leo85811nardo@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Maintainability is inverse correlated to job security anyway

Fun fact: Lithium is named after the Greek word "lithos", meaning "stone". It was named so as it was first found in ores. Lithium is a critical element in batteries. Therefore, it isn't wrong to say that your magical glass slab sucks energy from magical stones to show you pictures of hot femboys.

Alolan golem is a cpu

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Wouldn't it be more like sand or glass instead of rock?

[-] afathl@feddit.ch 21 points 2 years ago
[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Silica dioxide can occur geologically but if it's not from quartz it's not a rock it's a mineral iirc.
