Personally I am a bit of a fan of "When she was young, men had sex with her. They kissed her virgin breasts" and "Their private parts seemed as big as those of donkeys. And their flow of semen appeared to be as much as that of horses"... I'd be interested in seeing a movie version of the...
This is from Ezekiel 23:

The highlights:
According to Ezekiel these are words from God himself. I didn't expect God to say things like that, especially the last two sentences about donkeys and horses.
Well I've dropped the price from US$0.99 to free.....

BTW if you play for at least 5 minutes you can leave a review by going to "Store Page". A review helps the game's visibility even if you set Visibility to "Friends only".
A lot of progress is being made - e.g. realistic laughter and sense of humour - for NPCs:
And impressive text-to-video:

Even doing a single operation on a computer costs money so it is unlikely that NPCs would be less expensive than that.
Do you mean the outer...
I know quite a lot about AI and simulations. With AI an approximation of a human is cheaper to simulate than a perfect copy. This is similar to an approximation of the Sun. You could make a realistic looking Sun in a video game but it would be a lot more expensive if it was exact because the Sun...
In the case of the Roy game I think Rick paid for it for Morty at Blips and Chitz:
The point is in that scenario ordinary people are running simulations - i.e. there would be large numbers of simulations...
Ok then maybe everyone would find it worth it (according to Alan Watts). Maybe those...
Well in a simulation it is much cheaper to not make NPCs truly conscious and capable of suffering... while appearing to be truly conscious. So that reduces the problem of suffering by a huge amount.
Well I'll just quote what Alan Watts said again:
So he's not saying that people would...
If you wanted to minimise suffering you'd probably make most or all of the NPCs "philosophical zombies". So you'd only be choosing genuine suffering for yourself. Otherwise all of the NPCs wouldn't have consented to their suffering.
You would believe that after your simulated life you would...
A quote from Alan Watts:

It looks like you just have to wait until you "wake up".... if you could easily stop it I guess you wouldn't be so anxious about your life....
If this is a simulation I think it is possible that you consented to the suffering but you temporarily forgot this decision....
Like when Morty plays the Roy game: (well Rick forced the game on Morty but normally it would be the player's choice)
Or there could be simulations that are like...
Are you talking about simulations that are indistinguishable from reality (taking thousands of years to achieve)? A lot of progress is being made.
e.g.
AI's that have realistic humour and laughter (for NPCs in a simulation)

I know what NAND is (not AND). That is similar to people building all types of computers in Minecraft in "redstone" including Tetris games. I did an OS subject and a subject involving basic PDP-8 instructions at university.
I didn't consider the cards and how it seems they can be navigated by...
@Pogo and @Banach-Tarski Paradox seem to be saying that something like ChatGPT could run on a single Analytic Engine. i.e the entire program could be stored on it and run. It says "the" Analytic Engine.... not "an" Analytic Engine - not one that works the same way but had been extended.
Note...
But it never mentions determinism....

I never talked about that computer. You're mixing me up with someone else.
Like I said your 900+ word quote doesn't even...
Mixing up reality with non-real experiences could be fatal.... like in the interactive film Bandersnatch on Netflix you can choose to jump off of a tall building. Also one time I was playing VR and it let you walk off of a platform but I was too scared to try it out.
