In 2124 someone will synthesize your consciousness from this and other posts and tell "you" about the results.
- idlewords 2y agoPlease don't synthesize my consciousness from Hacker News posts.
- Loughla 2y agoOr my online presence in totality, to be honest. Who I am online is only a small part of who I am. Just like being a father, or an employee, or a woodworker do not fully define me as human, being a little snarky bitch on the Internet also does not sometime define me.
- ben_w 2y agoOn the internet, I'm a wolf. So synthesising a persona from my digital presence would be… well, 100% on brand for how weird everything else is, honestly.
- jon_richards 2y agoBy asking that, you just guarantee your synthesized consciousness will be miserable.
- idlewords 2y agoWell, at least it will be accurate.

- konstantinua00 2y agotoo late, my imagination is fuuuming
- pavlov 2y agoIt’s going to be Roko’s Basilisk who is angry at me for making fun of cryptocurrency on HN and therefore delaying the Buttcoin Singularity by 3.7 minutes. As a punishment I’ll have neutron star hot NFTs poked into my virtual eye sockets forever. But in between the tortures, the merciful Basilisk will grant me a glimpse of Proxima Centauri taken by its interstellar drone armada.
- PhasmaFelis 2y agoMy favorite thing about Roko's Basilisk is how a bunch of hard-nosed rationalists using remorseless logic somehow managed to conclude that God is real and will torture you in Hell forever if you sin.
