- echelon 5y agoThat Bedouin nomad never imagined you watching him this day, on your couch, using your glowing pocket screen. Or being used to sell tennis shoes. Imagine what will become of our memories? Maybe future us can simulate the past so well that we can recreate it. Maybe we're just echoes of the past in this very moment, playing out for dwellers of an advanced future. Maybe they're omnipotent. They can capture all the radiation that gets emitted and reverse calculate everything. Our brain states. No simulation at all, but a recreation. We could be in a mundane No Mouth Cannot Scream or Roko's Basilisk scenario this very moment. Implausible, but just maybe... Maybe we're ads for a fancier metaverse platform.

- saltyfamiliar 5y agoSame here. I ignored it and kept scrolling then suddenly all the pictures turned into the same adidas ad at once. Very dystopian.

- quickthrower2 5y agoLucky you I got Elon Musk ads for some crap. Not sure if he approved of his face in these ads though!
