PsychoInternetHawk posted:I feel like it says a lot about these people's interpersonal relationships that they feel an AI chat with some text to voice will be a meaningful substitute I've met a guy who was really in to this sort of thing and basically he was so completely terrified of dying that he would buy into just about any technogarble that promised immortality. Whether it made any sense, or (if it worked) would be an insane nightmare hell, was unimportant.

I really liked the Culture book about the conflict between the people who made hell real via AI versus the people who thought creating AI beings to be tortured eternally was bad. the main villain was basically space South African. ripped from the headlines.

Which the reader tends to forget about until there's some offhand mention of tusks or trunks and then it becomes funny again

Even ignoring the moral implications around everything else at the end of the day they’re punishing the wrong person. might as well slap a printout of their face on homeless people and beat them up for the sins of another for an ethical dilemma a first grader could solve.

Lena is a great short story, in the style of a Wikipedia article, exploring this concept.quote:This article is about the standard test brain image. For the original human, see Miguel Acevedo.

The Soul Hunters from Babylon 5 were pretty interesting, they were the dudes who claimed to be able to capture someone's consciousness at the instant of death and preserve it so future generations could talk to and learn from the dead. The Humans think this is all nonsense mumbo-jumbo and are surprised to learn that the Minbari not only believe it, but find the prospect so horrifying that they execute Soul Hunters on sight because from their perspective they're imprisoning people's souls in a hellish endlessly monotonous existence, while the Soul Hunters in turn accuse the Minbari of being murderers for wanting people's souls to be lost after death. The show leaves it open on which side is right iirc

Getting nerds to sign up for the US army is the part that I am certain has cost lives.
