If we’re starting to meddle with actual brains scans for AI, why do we do to AI what we wouldn’t do to a child? And why is AI toyed with by dudes who’d make a child play doom?
Are you saying you wouldn’t make your kids play Doom?
Not until they’re teens and it makes sense they seek transgression. Then I’d let them play gory titles so they can feel edgy while not selling crack. Doom is unfit for children, IMHO.
Doom is not transgression at all, it’s just dull entertainment with surprisingly Christian values, the box should come with a 6+ warning
Of course Doom is not a transgression to an adult. It’s even worse to me if it displays christian values though, like, why would I want to fuck up my kids with hyperviolence AND christianity? Listen guys, you can defend it all you want, if it comes to being a parent I will not do like our dear boomer parents and expose them to hyperviolence before they’re teens and can start having a rational approach to graphic representations and fiction in general. I’m not american, I value the mental well-being of young children.
I wouldn’t let them play Doom, Carmaggedon, any form of survival horror, etc. No Disney shit either. Just no american shit. They’ll get Nintendo, Ghibli, etc. And when they’re old enough, they’ll get introduced to Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Doom, etc, all the edgy/horror/gory/disturbing stuff they want.
I played Doom as a child and I turned out!
I too exist!
What most people call AI are LLMs, they are fancy text autocomplete tools, and fundamentally incapable of awareness, nor could they ever develop one. Read it up.
If you’d rebuild the actual brain of a child authentically in silico that would be however indeed madness. We aren’t talking about human children though but about a fly. You have no idea what we are doing to flies in experiments, all sorts of terrible things indeed. Let it play doom is not nearly the worst.
Nice. We uploaded a mind into a computer and the first thing we did was put it in a simulation of Hell and teach it how to shoot things.
wonder what would happen if doom took that into the plot… doomguy discovers, hell is not real, it’s just a simulation of hell. and he’s just been a fly forced to play.

Worth a read, because it’s 100% accurate
Holy shit
I remember when I first watched Black Mirror White Christmas and the profound existential dread I felt… poor fly… you are just the first.
I mean, at least you’re safe.
Your mind clone, however…
does that mean you can place a fruit fly in a mech and tell it to shoot people?
