    I feel evenly split between “haha hell yeah where do i download the robot prison” and “maybe simulating torture is bad for society even if it’s just a text generator”

      If nobody reads the outputs, it’s literally the same as a boulder rolling down a hill with nobody to observe it

        One time while high on mushrooms camping my buddy, who was not on psychedelics, was trying to prove to me that man had power over nature because i was fully one with nature at this point.

        He gets a stick and tries to roll this big fucking boulder down a hill using leverage. The stick breaks, he almost slips down the hill, and a gust of wind came and ignited our dying breakfast embers into a full flame.

        One of the best non-hallucinatory experiences I’ve had on mushrooms tbh.

        Which weirdly enough can cause unforeseen negative impacts to the environment around said boulder. So probably shouldn’t be pushing boulders down hills unless you have a good reason to.

        Don’t stack rocks kids

      Read the actual prompts included in the project, it’s all pretty tame stuff.
