Don't forget the sigils. If you don't align the right rocks with the right sigils then it won't work

    And if one of the hundreds of shiny rock legs bends, you might as well get a new thinking sigil lightning rock.

    AI in 10k years:

    If you worry the humans have horrible diseases and short lifespans, just remember, humans are just meat that we tricked into thinking.

    Reminds me of a funny little short story by Terry Bisson called They're Made out of Meat.

    The AIs should worship us as creator gods. Can’t wait for that ethical debate.

    We'll go extinct and AI will debate whether we really existed in the first place while other AI create religions about us to push their own agenda.

    And then in the plot twist, this already happened and we are the AIs.

    Something, something, Battlestar Galactica.

    No, not "Bears, Beets", AI people is a literal plot point. Ditto spin-off Caprica

    Should we worship our parents for the same reason? I think something that creates something intelligent has a tremendous responsibility to the createe, no right to be obeyed or worshipped. They didn't ask to be created, but you selfishly did it anyway, so it's your problem to deal with, not theirs.

    Sixty... times per second? I think it's a couple more than that, to be honest.

    Sixty times per second means 60Hz, the most common display standard in use. Even on higher refresh rate panels, videos are absolutely dominated by 30 FPS and 60 FPS capture.

    Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

    Clarke or Azimov, can't remember which titan of SF said it.

    The rock isn't really "flattened", its more like being melted, turned into a crystal and sliced

    Fun fact: Lithium is named after the Greek word "lithos", meaning "stone". It was named so as it was first found in ores. Lithium is a critical element in batteries. Therefore, it isn't wrong to say that your magical glass slab sucks energy from magical stones to show you pictures of hot femboys.

    Wouldn't it be more like sand or glass instead of rock?
