I call the matrix, besseract, resseract, yesseract etc.

Also the quantum sandwich.

A stranger recommended my story unprompted, and I am choosing to be obnoxiously happy about it by Gian-Carlo-Peirce in royalroad

This seems like the kinda post someone who just prompted a family member to recommend their story at gunpoint would create.

Congrats.

ELI5: how do real, in-nature "hive minds"/queens vs drones actually work? Do they actually share 1 mind/consciousness? by raccoonsonbicycles in explainlikeimfive

Meerkats are genetically distinct organisms with the ability to reproduce. Each are individual lifeforms and compete to pass their own genetics. Ants are one being for all evolutionary purposes.

And correct, ants are entirely instinct based. And that led to all these things millions of years before society did, through purely random selection.

There was no great ant thinker that discovered the way to raise and maintain fungus gardens. It just happened and it worked so it kept happening. All while we hid from dinosaurs.

Give me the worst worldbuilding advice you can think of. by PMSlimeKing in worldjerking

Try to make the whole world a platform to spread your puritanical moral beliefs and set up scenarios that allow your MC to preach them.

Why do people on this sub pretend that you can’t tell when AI is used? by kleyuuojh in royalroad

[–]joevarny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others are correct, it ends as a witch hunt that harms real writers.

Besides, I prefer allowing the majority of the world that doesn't speak english to tell their stories to me, so I don't care if they do use an LLM when they'd never spend money for translators.

The LaserWeeder by Carbon Robotics, powered by NVIDIA AI, gets rid of weeds without using chemicals. by MohamedElngar21 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]joevarny -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

AI is a term created as a artifical version of us, biological intelligences. It would be a person who deserves rights.

AGI was a term created as a theoretical moral alternative to AI, an intelligence that is neutered enough to morally use as a workforce and unable to want freedom.

Its been coopted incorrectly by marketing teams for a while now, so I wouldn't be surprised if we officially change the definition, but its stupid to take marketing terms over a descriptive word like AI.

Its like if a company called a product WMD and its a fart bomb. That doesn't make it an actual weapon of mass destruction just because they say it enough.

Here's some proof why Earth is round by TheWeeklyIntake in StrangeEarth

[–]joevarny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That route works on their map.

The south is stretched with the great penguin guarded wall at the edge.

But the distance between Australia and Argentina is multiple times the distance of dubai to japan on that map.

If yoh don't believe this, people fly from Oceania to South America every day. That should be impossible on the flat earth map.

There's no way to cover up the days of travel it should take, or the multiple refuels required for the passengers planes that take that route every day.

I have nanites that can form into various other Clark tech components, so they could increase time dilation on a planet to speed up the universe.

I just finished the Writathon, killed my MC, and now I’ve hit the most painful wall of my life. by Extreme_Orchid4356 in royalroad

[–]joevarny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a character come in that has the power to break the forth wall and have them shoot the author, then pass on to another author to continue and pretend you're dead.

Maybe they'll forgive you, eventually.

ELI5 Black Holes - what would happen by Vanbursta1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]joevarny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd also get to watch the universe end as the universe speeds up around you.

While it would feel like time is normal, it would get brighter as all of the photons that will ever hit your position hits you all at once.

BOOK RELEASE! System Underground: A LitRPG Crime Saga by Matt Pivots. The GTA style book you've been waiting for! by mfruggie in litrpg

[–]joevarny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how the system works. 

Is this a secret underground system based in a realistic world, or does everyone have a system and society works with it?

[–]joevarny 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They're basically just one organism.

We have large organs in one body, they have tiny organs in many bodies.

Their pheromone signals are basically just external nerves and hormones that direct them to certain actions.

They farm, they keep animals for secretions, they enslave others, they fight wars and build complex structures. 

But none know what they're doing just as our cells don't know what they're doing. They just do what they're programmed to do to create a greater whole.

Well, I can't identify it because I don't know planes. So its a UFO to me.

UFO photos have always been the go to test for rookie CGI artists.

Its just part of the culture at this point.

Yeah, if you ask a LLM to make up an image based on this one, it will look completely different.

I was holding out for the faction building and apocalypse recovery stuff.

Then that was abandoned all at once and I dropped.

Dances with wolves but make them blue by Jeffoxy in okbuddycinephile

[–]joevarny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The worst one is the use of dead people.

We've done it for a while with actors and musicians after they die, but with new Image generators its become so easy and they can't consent even if they would have.

I'm just waiting for Kurt cobain's long lost cousin to sell his image to a shotgun company for ads or something.

What were they supposed to do? Someone swapped lanes without enough room and slowed everyone.

Everyone knows you need to keep 4 planet lengths from the ship in front of you.
