You’re gonna bring them back and send them to paradise?

I used nothing but Slack for about 15 years. Other distros gave me.problems, hell, I compiled Gentoo from source but was never even successful at installing some of the newbie distros like Ubuntu, but Slack was always simple and rock solid. I wasn’t the best at resolving dependencies, I’d just build and install anything it said I needed. I think I’ve had more than one version of Python or Perl installed at a time, but it never mattered. Every few years I’d wipe everything and reinstall.

I switched in the late 90s to attract women. I still think it’s going to work someday.

I would have gone with you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor you piece of shit

I botched that post, especially the first sentence. I meant to say that it relies on human life being real at some point, either in the present or in the past, and doesn’t really rule out alien life at that point

Bostrom’s theory relies on life being real too. If I could rephrase it, his theory is:

1 if humans can simulate a human mind in the future, they will 2 they will probably simulate their ancestors (us) 3 they will probably do it trillions and trillions of times 4 this means that out of trillions of consciousnesses, some are real humans and some are simulations 5 we are either one of the few billion actual living minds or one of the trillions of simulated minds and math says it’s the latter because trillions is more. (He never says trillions, just unspecific words like “countless”)

I think Bostrom is genius but I’ve never found this argument very interesting.

Is this you?
