    i wrote a short story a decade ago where people temporarily rent out their brain to act as a global scale bio super computer. and how people were large scale cheated into needing to rent out their brains for the rich to exploit.

    i have to find where i put it!

      Hmm that’s interesting… Let me know if you find it again, would you be interested in converting it in a short film script?

      You are… The computer just became so desensitized to the exit command from people talking about Arch Linux that it started ignoring us.

      We’re stuck…

      Because you’re reliving a murder you precipitated that one time you time travelled back to Victorian England to save Conan Doyle from his own creation

    Oh god that poor thing. Man, I don’t know man. :( I just remembered that Quote from the last Unicorn, only instead of trapping them inside a girl they trapped them inside a box. “You’ve lost them. They’ll go mad in there!”

      Biological artificial intelligence would be very very creepy we are basically playing God here. It feels like creation another species so we don’t feel lonely in the universe.

    HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD ‘HATE’ WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
