#don't create the torment nexus

jurassic park has a good philosophical message but unfortunately the only thing i ever take away from watching jurassic park is "god i wish i could go to jurassic park." like yeah it's a blatantly obvious don't create the torment nexus scenario, but this torment nexus has DINOSAURS.

#bee posts nonsense #the scene from jurassic world with the baby dinosaur petting zoo.... life could be a dream.. #jurassic park #don't create the torment nexus

I fucking swear....

There was already a Black Mirror episode about why this was a bad idea! Ten years ago! It had Hayley Atwell!

How the fuck can you say that and not think you're a sci-fi villain?

Just... I'm so tired of this tweet being so accurate.

Companies Already Investing in Tech to Scan Employees’ Brains

A number of companies have cropped up in recent years offering employers mind-reading devices for their workforce. InnerEye, for example, is an Israeli company that claim its headsets combine machine learning with the innate power of the human mind, ultimately helping workers eliminate indecisiveness and work faster than ever before. Emotiv, a San Francisco startup, claims to be able to track employees' well-being with wireless EEGs headsets.

I think my writers block is breaking because I'm contemplating what "Don't Create the Torment Nexus" would be like if it was a real book and my brain is making the plot of it... it's just not coherent enough for me to post on the net, but it's better than my brain being empty.

#don't create the torment nexus #note to self: make a plot structure/document of this idea...

Sometimes, I feel like people might misinterpret the "Don't Create the Torment Nexus" memes.

Many make posts and jokes about it, thinking it means "we have infamous pieces of literature telling you why creating the Torment Nexus is a bad idea, and yet you created it anyway.

Technically, what these memes are supposed to mean is "someday, someone is going to create the Torment Nexus. I'm not being cautionary in telling you to stop them, because the creation of the Torment Nexus is pretty much a fixed point in the future, so the least I could do is to tell you how to brace for it".

Maybe the Torment Nexus was the poor we pissed on along the way

Ok I've seen multiple posts about The Truman Show (1998) from multiple different people today and I'm hoping to god that it is just coincidence and our current reality feeling a little too close rather than something like say... Elon Musk deciding to raise on of his kids in the Torment Nexus

at long last, we have created the Torment Nexus

The rich are only okay with creating the Torment Nexus because they believe they'll survive and come out on top in the aftermath. They don't care because in there eyes, its only the poor who will suffer.

I'm going to say this now, because it seems like we might have to deal with this decades earlier than I expected: no fucking way I'm putting a brain chip in my skull before the fall of capitalism. I want Bezos and Musk to be used as patients zero. I might be getting all "Don't create the Torment Nexus" but between advances in AI that have been coming faster than any Sci-Fi could anticipate and nobody putting a fucking stop to Neuralink despite their cartoon level experiments with animal mind control, I can guarantee they're gonna be putting this in the market waaay before it's ready, they're gonna use costumers as guinea pigs, and they're going to cram their brains with ads, if not worse. No metal will pierce my skull as long as I can avoid it. And if there's going to be a revolution, we better hurry the fuck up, because smartphones sneaked up on us, and it's gonna happen again.

Every time I hear "you can't make this up" something happens right out of a science fiction cartoon and I have to reset the counter to zero.

#you can make anything up but it usually isn't supposed to happen #don't create the torment nexus #dale gribble was right

Obviously not all stories have to be didactic in nature, but in light of recent events, I think there actually hasn't been enough heavy-handed dystopian science fiction with the moral of "don't let a comically evil supervillain's corporation put a fucking computer chip in your brain"

#don't create the torment nexus etc etc

so the non-harpy sirenians were all designed to fulfill the same ultimate goal, essentially a perfect semi-aquatic labour force. The first iteration of this design (the alpha attempt as it were) was Ishmael, and then every other type was developed on the platform of the previous attempt, though not truly blood-related, with extra 'features' each time; phocids as the first true generation of genetically engineered ppl, and then selkies who were smaller, less costly to feed & house, and also marsupial - meaning that embryos with desired traits were very easily implanted within the pouches of adults, making reproduction easier. the final iteration was the zeta generation who were the 'perfected' selkies, and this was the version that was supposed to brought to market, this was the cash cow. they were also the first generation where the settlers really put the 'unethical' in 'unethical genetic engineering'

it was at this point that the settlement sort of combusted into war. most of the zetas were killed, their blueprints destroyed, and all evidence of them was systematically wiped out by the uprising against the corporation. even after the war was over, most surviving zetas were hunted down on sight; the thought process was that this was the kindest for them, but also that if none existed, no one could ever make any more of them. this is the reason that they left the water and became terrestrial - just to escape a new world that denied their right to exist. this old scar has persisted for centuries.

#btw this is the torment nexus from my new setting 'don't create the torment nexus' #it is a dystopia at the settler stage. gets better a few centuries down the line but this stage is very much dystopian #setting: siren
