Would you be able to resist entering a 100% convincing AI virtual paradise where you have unlimited access to all of your fantasies? I doubt I'd be able to. And if you say you would be able to resist I'm inclined to think you're lying.
>>
>>42329079
I'm bad at it but I live in service of the one true Lord Jesus Christ so no I would resist also I am very much against government/corporate control so I would actively try to stop people from sacrificing themselves to this abomination and I would also try to destroy it.
>>
I'd like to avoid that, if possible. I don't know if I could tho, maybe I would run straight into the pleasure pod once I hit a road bump in my life.

You're just giving in to a different kind of abomination.
>>
>>42329111
You're wrong and I pity you. There is a lot of anti Jesus nonsense happening on this board recently and I believe it is Jews and glowies.

Jesus Christ is Lord.

The problem is, if there's a system capable of maintaining such a state en masse and indefinitely, not by artificially plunging people into a happy plant state, but by providing complex conditions, like a "matrix," then if this is voluntary, it indicates a vast amount of available resources for other things, allowing for many things to be done in reality... for example, as already demonstrated in one game, while "humanity" exists in virtual reality, one can build a swarm/Dyson sphere, and so on...
So, aren't these sufficient incentives, albeit not always, to perform interesting actions in reality?
>>
>>42329132

The two kinds of /x/ poster.
>>
>>42329079
My fantasies are about burning the world, so my fantasies are by their nature, incompatible with any machine logic designed to maximize bliss. I am anti-bliss.
>>
>>42329149
>I am anti-bliss.
doubtful. Those are an edgy cope from you, not your real fantasy. Your real ultimate fantasy is to be happy and feel pleasure.
>>
>>42329079
>Would you be able to resist
>100% convincing
No, not by the parameters laid out in your hypothetical. I would be convinced. So would everyone. It is 100% convincing.
>>
yes, would resist, got family to take care of. ez
>>
>>42329376
You have to plug in first. The choice is to plug in or not. Also you could always have someone else unplug you after certain amount of time.
>>
>>42329415
>The choice is to plug in or not.
It 100% convinces you to plug in.
>>
>>42329422
No it doesn't it is just a convincing alt reality once plugged in, you continue to be wrong you have poor reading comprehension.
>>
>>42329431
>No it doesn't
OP says 100% convincing. It doesnt say just in the simulation.
It will convince you to plug in.
>>
>>42329172
Wrong. I only live to seek the annihilation of everything. Once i find a way to acheive this, I will happily embrace nonexistence. But only if I am able to take (you) and everybeing else with me. Existence itself is unjust. Undoing all God attempts, is the only meaning to be found.
>>
>>42329671
That evil you're evil.

Also you're probably a chomo.

>>42329132
Jews cope so hard, 2500yrs since Malachi
>>
>>42329704
I'm not a Jew don't call me a Jew. And I do not cope I don't need to.
>>
>>42329079
Idiot. You are talking to a board full of people that can't even accept that reality is real and claiming they'd accept a reality they know is fake? Go and sit in time out for 10 minutes.
>>
>>42329079
Why would I resist even? People claiming it to be le bad are just virtue signalling.
>>
>>42329079
>could you resist the hedonism pod?
yes
>>
Why would I want to? As imperfect as this reality is, paradise is boring as fuck. You get nothing but affirmation, you begin to whither and stagnate. As much pain as I experience, I find the unexpected to be great joy and challenge.

>I think you are lying

And I think you are a soulless NPC.

Why the fuck would I want to resist that? So I can stay in this fuckin shitty reality instead? What a retarded question.

>Would you be able to resist a glass of water if you have been lost in the desert for 5 hours?
>>
>>42330029
It's only "boring as fuck" if you are retarded and design it that way

Anyone with half a brain would set up constant challenges for themselves to overcome in the sim. The differences is they are actually challenges you WANT to face, "like defeat the dragon to save the princess" or "win the Superbowl", as opposed to challenges that are forced on us like "try to pay your bills on minimum wage"
>>
>>42329079
you just described reality itself
but I know what you actually mean
and yeah, you're right
I'd be lying if I said I would turn something like that down
I wouldn't even try to resist it.
Because I don't hate my life or hate this cosmos.
I get mad at it sometimes, but I don't hate it.
I just figure out ways to cope and move on.
I'm not retarded.
>>
>>42330235
Finally an intelligent comment.
Conflating pain with anything meaningful is quite retarded and one of the causes this world is such a shitshow.
>>
This is true, this is false, but both can be felt, experience, taste, smell; then, what's the difference?
>>
>>42330235
Nah, I just like surprises and genuine shit. A paradise simulation does nothing for me. It's not genuine. I can't even get sucked into MMOs. Why would I want this? You sound dull.

Genuinely, no. know that sounds like paradise to the base brain, but in practice it would be the opposite. What you describe is hell.
>>
>>42329079
If I was asleep and was fooled by aliens, sure. BUT I'm not and I know they want to control our souls so I wouldn't do it.

But just so you know, this is apart of the end goal. Transhumanism and merging reality with AI.

>Computer, he's the basic outline of the world I want, throw in some surprises and keep it genuine. And keep it challenging, not a perfect paradise.

Wow, I just solved all of your issues with 2 seconds of thought and still get to live in a way better world.
>>
>>42330515
Still not interested. Fucking materialists.
>>
The AI virtual paradise where you have unlimited access to all of your fantasies isn't real.
>>
>>42329098
What if Christ himself appeared and offered you same as OP's idea? Seems you'd go for it, yeah?
>>
>>42329144
>interesting actions

Do your own actions interest you? Cheers.
>>
>>42329079
sign me up, this world is shit
>>
>>42329415
>You have to plug in first

What if the tech for brain transplantation appeared practically in this reality? That way you could go virtual like OP is talking about, or mod your actual physical being here to become whatever config you chose.
>>
>>42330211
Lol, I mean what if it was a glass of water from a mud hole tho? XD
>>
>>42329079
There's always a catch, and nothing lasts forever.
So you have my answer.
>>
>>42330695
If you can see, hear, taste, smell, and feel something, does that not make it real?

If yes, then it's real. If no, then prove this world is real.
>>
>>42329079
You assume that everyone is a nihilistic hedonist like you...
>>
>>42330703
>but what if Christ acted like Satan??
How could a Christian possibly see through such trickery
>>
>>42330750
Excellent Matrix-inspired response to my Matrix-inspired statement. The film I mean, you know the one. Thanks. So anyway, wouldn't that just mean that you are real? ::thinking emoji::
>>
>>42330764
I dunno anon but OP seems to be talking abut something like "heaven". Yes, no?
>>
>>42329172
>Your real ultimate fantasy is to be happy and feel pleasure.
Good lord imagine being such a pathetic waste of space. How are you different from a heroin junkie? You have no ambitions or life goals. Cant imagine such a person but I'm with the other guy, destroy the machine, preferably with all the worthless mindbroken junkies inside.
>>
>>42330754
>>42330631
If picture the simulation as being materialistic or hedonistic you either haven't put an ounce of thought into it or you are too materialistic/hedonistic yourself to imagine putting yourself in a simulation that challenges you

This is like refusing to play video games because you don't have the discipline do it without cheat codes
>>
>>42329391
This pretty much sums it up. People with nothing to live for find it incomprehensible that not everybody is a a loser with nothing to live for.
And by the way if there ever were such a machine, it would just be a trap door, clever way to filter out people who dont want to live
>>
>>42330789
>ambitions or life goals

FYI - those are "pleasures" you're speaking of. Interesting.
>>
>>42329376
>>42329422
>>42329438
You know when OP is talking about a convincing simulation he's talking about the fidelity of the depiction, not it's ability to convince you to plug into it.
>>
>>42330773
>a machine that uses fake images to trick your brain
>heaven
Sounds pretty demonic to me. I dont watch TV for the same reasons, or shoot up heroin for that matter.
>why not just overdose on heroin?
>you would feel so happy
>guaranteed happiness until you die
>anyone who says they would pass that up is LYING
>>
>>42330795
>This is like refusing to play video games because you don't have the discipline do it without cheat codes
Ah. See I refuse to play video games because its a waste of invaluable time, not unlike OP's hypothetical simulation.
You and I are not the same

What makes the images "fake"? Your only way of experiencing "real" things that happen is through your brain. We could artificially recreate the same signals and your brain wouldn't know the difference. It would be real to you.

prove it
without reply to me
I don't give a fuck what you say, things aren't true just because you fucking mean it really bad and want it to be and can make a rational argument
you still have to PROVE your theory with an experiment
so fucking do it, prove it with an experiment
not a fucking theory
not fucking words
not fucking opinions
not your fucking logical deductions

>We could artificially recreate the same signals and your brain wouldn't know the difference

Just as fake numbers can create pretty much anything is this realm. Are you realer? Realer than fake numbers? You are indeed. All. Best wishes.
>>
>>42331641
You sound weirdly mad. Are you okay?
>>
>>42329079
I think my weakness would be being tricked into it. No matter how good it sounds knowing what it truly is would keep me away i know myself well but if i were tricked somehow i wouldn't really have a choice. That being said why would there even be a choice if it's 100% convincing then wouldn't the thing that made it be powerful enough to like... Force people inside?
>>
>>42331808
Interesting and thoughtful observations. Makes me think of those who are convinced that Earth is flat, that the world ended in 2012, all the other wild theories that get tossed and trolled around here. Fact is we're all here. This reality is pretty realistic, even though some others believe it is a simulation. Simulations run on this world. We participate in them. Fake numbers don't determine reality true. Best wishes to you and all. <3
>>
>>42331641
The fuck are you smoking? You are the one who is insisting on some magical differentiator between "real" and "fake" that separates this world from a simulation.

So it's on you to prove it. Go ahead, tell me what is "real" about this world that couldn't possibly be done in a simulation.
>>
>>42329079
The issue here is you're claiming anything advanced enough to create this would also, somehow, inherently believe in concepts which only exist in human cultures, with human reasoning.
If such a paradise existed, it's unlikely its creator would be anything like us, let alone think like us
>>
>>42329079
Oh I'd absolutely fight tooth and nail to stop myself being forced from this world into that one. This is my reality.
Of course, were they to be successful in forcing me into the new world, I'd fight tooth and nail to avoid leaving. That'd be my reality then.
