If you were in their shoes you'd believe the same thing

Imagine someone writing text like this about some other group of people.

Thanks. This is the kind of comment I originally went to reddit for. Good that I didn't click the link

But why? What if someone is truly happy in the simulation while in real life they're miserable. I doubt that on their death bed they're wishing they didn't spend more time doing meaningless work and having no friends.

No. I wrote the premise myself and I specifically said they appear consciouss, not that they are consciouss. I get what you're saying but that does not apply here. In this specific case we know for a fact that they're not consciouss. The only other consciouss being there on top of you are the other real people in the simulation. Not the AI characters.

Why? That's like making it illegal to kick your roomba

Now I'm curious. What's average looking to you if none of these aren't?

You advocating death penalty for wrong beliefs?

You get to keep the premium features even if you hide the blue checkmark.

Good explanation. I changed my mind now

You get to keep the premium features even if you hide the blue checkmark. There's no downside to it.

I don't quite see your logic here. You think Lemmy should add a "Donator" -tag that you can't hide to everyone who gives money to the developers?

I believe you get some premium features along with the subscribtion which probably is the main reason people are paying for it though I'm sure some just want the blue tick too.

Yeah I think the average twitter hater under-estimates how different a well curated twitter feed can be from someone who just randomly follows hundreds if not thousands of random people and they over-estimate how big role Elon plays in it. I don't go check my twitter feed because I want to actively support what ever Musk is doing. I was there already when hardly anyone had heard about him.

If he makes some changes that dramatically affect my user experience then I might consider leaving like I did from reddit after more than 10 years of daily use but so far he havent. My twitter experience is exactly the same as it was 5 years ago.

Well that's incredibly stupid. Removing ads is usually the reason I'm paying for a service. Ironic that I as a non-paying user see less ads than the ones that are paying for it.

I don't quite see what your average Twitter user needs the information for about whose a paid member and whose not.

I take my wish back and instead wish you get to walk again too

How high are you?

Yeah I agree. The only thing one can be 100% sure of is that they're consciouss themselves

It's not fake consciousness per se but a character that acts as it was consciouss despite the fact that it's not. So called "philosophical zombie"

You could have real relationships with other real people in the simulation. AI could be your barista, driver, random people in the city etc.
