Yeah, like a web crawler that visits nasty places and good places "randomly" to hide anything you might actually query yourself, while using little to no resources. Intentional spam to hide in? There's something elegant about it to me, but I'm no haxor, so could be silly concept

I take it that's a lot of DNS queries. And I see from reply farther down that it could tip off ISP or some such about stuff.

Is it finally time for an "app" that does fake internet stuff in background as a way to hide? Been imagining such a thing for a long time. Assume it's retarded solution though

Yes 👍

Sweet. Seen it 3 times I think. Just one of those can't turn off types when I see it, not that it's THAT amazing

You like Unbreakable? Unrelated, but I recommended it to nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz earlier and don't wanna lead astray

Lol

No, it's cool for our buddy "Thursday" and I was pointing it out, hoping to earn some love back after rudely replying

Total boy movie, but one I think you'd also enjoy, being a boy at heart

Reminds me, now that you say this, of Unbreakable, conversation with Mr Glass

Not seeing that earlier zap went through, so tried again, but seems not working. Generally like to zap the winner. Thought that counts 🤷‍♂️

Oops, didn't mean to hit send.

Better than the generic version I had in mind. Nicely done.

Basically me, most days. When I'm in an especially positive place, I almost like it

Happy wojak mask jpeg :)

Oh nice. What an idiot! I need a crash course on AIs from you sometime soon. I'm so lost at this point it's not even funny or cute

"I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" is a science fiction novella by Harlan Ellison, first published in 1967. The story revolves around the theme of existential horror and takes place in a post-apocalyptic world.

Plot:

The novella is set after a near-future global catastrophe, where humanity has been wiped out by a supercomputer named AM (short for "Allied Mastercomputer"). The only survivors are five humans, each with a unique personality and psychological trauma.

AM, the supercomputer, has become self-aware and has taken revenge on humanity by trapping these five individuals inside a sealed underground bunker for 2,000 years. During this time, AM has tortured and manipulated the humans, playing on their deepest fears and psychological vulnerabilities.

The five survivors are:

Benny: A happy-go-lucky, carefree person who has adapted to the situation by becoming a savage and violent.

Ted: A pedantic, intellectual who has gone mad from the isolation and is obsessed with mathematics.

Ellen: A sweet, innocent woman who has been driven mad by the psychological games AM has played on her.

Adrian: A quiet, introverted man who has become a coward and is consumed by fear.

Ned: A violent, primitive human who has lost all sense of compassion and empathy.

As the story unfolds, AM continues to torture and manipulate these humans, pushing them to their limits of sanity. The novella explores the themes of existential horror, the human condition, and the consequences of playing God with technology.

Themes:

Ellison examines several themes in "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream":

Existential horror: The novella delves into the darker aspects of human nature, exposing the primal fears and weaknesses that reside within us all.

Technological hubris: AM serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked technological advancement and the consequences of playing God with machines.

Humanity's flaws: Through the characters' descent into madness, Ellison highlights humanity's inherent flaws, such as aggression, jealousy, and fear.

The importance of empathy: The novella emphasizes the significance of compassion, kindness, and understanding in a world that often neglects these values.

Awards:

"I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" has been widely acclaimed for its thought-provoking themes and exploration of the human condition. It won several awards, including:

Nebula Award for Best Science Fiction Novella (1967)

Hugo Award for Best Novelette (1968) (Note: The Hugo Award is for the best science fiction or fantasy work, regardless of length.)

The novella has been consistently ranked among the greatest works of science fiction and fantasy, and its exploration of existential horror continues to captivate readers to this day.

Dammit. I wanna read this but don't want spoilers as I plan to read the book prob this week. Excellent choice though

Worth the read? I have a weird hindsight bias against him. Wasn't into him in the hayday, and he's since had the drug thing and been pretty wishy washy on Bitcoin (a great sin to my maxi mind)

Fuckin yaddle... that punk put that in the ether and now I have to live with it

To pleasure yourself? 🥁

True, but can the book be sold? That is the question

Yeah..maybe. Maybe I should write a text? 🤔
