"I want to live forever in AI"
This prospect doesnt bother me in the least. I've already been replaced 5 times in my life so far. The soul is a spook. Let my clone smother me in my sleep and deal with the IRS instead.
A copy is fine. I can still seek vengeance on my enemies from beyond the grave.
The game SOMA represents this case the best. Highly recommended!
Soma is so fucking bleak and I love it
Did they ever allow for turning off head bob and blur? That game makes me motion sick to an insane degree.
I already know I will never play this game, could you elaborate for me?
Yes, I immediately thought about SOMA after reading the post. recommendations++
If anyone's interested in a hard sci-fi show about uploading consciousness they should watch the animated series Pantheon. Not only does the technology feel realistic, but the way it's created and used by big tech companies is uncomfortably real.
The show got kinda screwed over on advertising and fell to obscurity because of streaming service fuck ups and region locking, and I can't help but wonder if it's at least partially because of its harsh criticisms of the tech industry.
I really thought you were going to mention "Upload" on Prime. Same creator as the office.
Sounds good. Did it come to a conclusion or get axed mid way?
Unironically the most important question
Luckily the writers were able to finish it the way they wanted with a second season, and it's fantastic. AMC almost did axe it before the second season released but after it was already finished but fans were able to get them to release it.
The series has a very satisfying conclusion.
It's one of the coolest fucking things we watched this last year.
Sold!
Yes, I just finished watching Pantheon and absolutely loved it!
Totally agree that it deserved more attention. At least it got a proper ending with season 2.
Also, the voice acting talent they got was impressive. Paul Dano was fantastic as one of the leads.
