So that's how the Judge Dredd timeline started.
It's really incredible how I can no longer tell what's satire and what's very real opinions and ideas being shared seriously
Tech bros suggesting we live in a hive city is believable
It’s actually already proposed
What? That's not at all what that article describes.
That's talking about using federal lands to build towns. Towns with very odd and selected features, but I don't see anything even vaguely like a hive city in there.
Don't get me wrong still terrible, just for other reasons
promoting a specific social and aesthetic vision
And also
proposed by Donald Trump
🤔
In this case, "proposed by Donald Trump" is like saying that a ventriloquist dummy with a hand up its ass and someone else mouthing the words has proposed something.
those are closer to company towns than hive cities
if you can't tell that this is satire maybe some time off of lemmy is warranted
Tech bros unironically suggesting insane bullshit like this tho, that was a flavor
The blue check mark is throwing me off.
that cube could fit anywhere , not just newyork !
Pish posh where else is there?
I'm sorry, but what about this cube is "population sized"?
Well, if you liquefy the entire human race, it would fit into a container with roughly those proportions.
In fairness, you can probably keep enough whole humans to stack in there without touching and then just liquefy the rest. That should save some money and time.
If you keep stacking them high enough with a perimeter strong enough to keep them contained, the heat and pressure would eventually get high enough to liquify the ones at the bottom.
That is hands down my favorite P&R moment
It's all good until someone farts
have you smelt my brand?
it's had buildings cleared until they saw me and said "it's just this guy's farts false alarm"
We can have two cubes.
am i getting my own farting cube because i want an angry dome too. i'll share the angry dome but i won't share the farting cube. i mean i'll share the farting cube but after one fart it's mine.
Are we compressed into the gigantic meat cube mechanically or are we assimilated into it like the Borg assimilate species?
I think you just start pitching people in, and the compression happens naturally as the people pile up.
Good news though. Without using any math or science, my AI determined that the people at the bottom will be under enough heat and pressure to become oil, or diamonds or both. Just put a spigot at the bottom so we don't lose that economic value in the bodies of the people we've systematically crushed to fund our lavish extravagant lifestyle.
Such a stupid take. You build a data center in Sydney when all the people are in NY? Think of the latency!
We need to build a giant spherical data center and humans will crawl on the outside like ants. No one will ever be more than the circumference away from another user, and all traffic can be routed through the fastest and shorted physical route.
Then the rest of the earth gives us 24/7 solar power. 10/10 super happy love love!
But it'll take four and a half billion years to compile its model and just as it's about to be completed the Vogons will destroy it to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

The Web invaded Mainframe
Sprite and virus battled side by side,
Attempting to reclaim the city
from the rift which opened wide.
But Megabyte betrayed Bob and
he threw him deep inside the pit.
The pit was closed and Bob was hosed
and all that he could say was "Nooo!"
Without Bob to protect us
we thought we would have no barrier,
From he who would infect us
except Enzo, which was scarier,
The city shivered terrified
from fear of the Infector's touch...
"I guess your fear was verified, I wasn't a protector much."
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn't a protector^ector^ much)
It wasn't Enzo's fault at first
he only was a little Sprite,
At best he was the worst but then
he slowly learned to do it right,
And just as he was getting skilled
a Game came down he couldn't win,
I thought for sure they'd both been killed,
first Bob then Enzo, not again!
(And just as he was getting skilled a Game came down he couldn't win)
(She thought for sure they'd both been killed, first Bob then Enzo, not again!)
I went from Game to Game
I aged, I grew and lost my innocence,
I soon became enraged by each
and ev'ry bad experience,
The Sprite you knew was gone
I had become a grim aggressor man,
I knew from that point on
that I was truly Bob's successor man.
(The Sprite we knew was gone, he had become a grim aggressor man)
(He knew from that point on that he was truly Bob's successor man)
I met up with the Webriders
and took the form of Interface,
I joined my gun with pirate swords
and sailed the seas of cyberspace,
And when at last the pair of us
were fin'lly reunited guys,
Our shouts of joy did blare because
we really were delighted guys.
We soon made tracks to Mainframe
so our friends could reunite with us,
We made it back and Megabyte
was waiting there to fight with us.
When Bob went
face to face to face to face
with Hexadecimal
...his chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal.
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin'tesi^esi^mal)
Bob helped to defragment my head
while Matrix fought with Megabyte,
I thought he'd wind up dead
but Matrix put up a terrific fight.
I'd dreamed of this each lonely night
of doing in that virus trash,
But just as I had won the fight
he engineered a system crash!
(You dreamed of this each lonely night of doing in that virus trash)
(But just as you had won the fight he engineered a system crash)
What Megabyte had hoped to do
was cause his death to crack us up,
I gambled on the User to ReBoot
and thereby back us up.
It worked! We all were born anew
and rid of things barbaric,
And now we're back together,
Ev'rything's alphanumeric!
(It worked, we all were born anew and rid of things barbaric)
(And now we're back together, ev'rything's alphanumeric)
___And now we're back together, EVERYTHING IS ALPHANUMERIC!!
Game incoming
No brain for damn sure
how big is the cube, and how much space per person?
How much space you get depends on your credit score
that sounds like something a communist would ask
I feel like I'm already in it.
Isaac Asimov's "Caves of Steel"
This is close to the plot of Accelerando (Stross, 2005). After disassembling the other close in planets to make more compute, the AIs disassemble the Earth too, despite the pleas of what is left of the humans.
Looks like game dropped on that Reboot Mainframe
but, but why in New York?
