Turmoil posted:I never understood the whole "get to a hard line to log out" thing. it's a story constraint because if they could just drop out of the matrix safely any time they wanted then nothing would ever present any threat to them except instant death from total surprise which makes for a really short movie e: I mean I realize you were making a joke and you know this, I totally knew that

Reminder that a nonzero number of people really truly think WE ARE IN THE MATRIX RIGHT NOW https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis For example, hero of the modern age and champion of the New Economy, ELON MUSK http://qz.com/699518/we-talked-to-the-oxford-philosopher-who-gave-elon-musk-the-theory-that-we-are-all-computer-simulations/

It's not absurd at all, I think it's great and hope he ends up like fellow crackpot Steve Jobs

So given that we’re clearly on a trajectory to have games that are indistinguishable from reality, and those games could be played on any set-top box or on a PC or whatever, and there would probably be billions of such computers or set-top boxes, it would seem to follow that the odds that we’re in base reality is one in billions.

A lot of people have shoes, so it seems to follow that the world is actually a giant eggplant

CJacobs posted:No, I meant he literally was forced to talk about it. He was at a seminar for a completely unrelated thing and taking questions, someone brought up multiple universes via simulations and he said he didn't wanna talk about it, and gave that response when the guy wouldn't just say ok and shut up the full conversation is so much better because it's not just some snappy answer he gave a dude to end a conversation, it's a long, drawn out chain of bullshit leading to a big dumb non sequitur conclusion
