So that if there’s a big event like a Taylor Swift concert you couldn’t go to and they detected you’re most likely a fan, they’ll gen AI a photo of you at the concert
If you missed a Christmas gathering with your family, they’ll gen AI one for you
If like Japan but haven’t been there yet, they gen AI a whole vacation album of you there
They’re literally trying to embed fabricated events into your life and brain lmao
People are largely very excited for this idea. All the apps between different companies constantly copy each other to achieve feature parity, there’s no escape. You will live a life of luxury and excitement whether you want to or not
Wow. Last Thursday-ism swinging in hard
Whats that?
It’s a philosophy built around the idea that you can’t prove the universe wasn’t built last Thursday. Adding in fake memories could make it harder to reason what our histories are
Ah a very relevant philosophy, as important as “the universe is a simulation”, “we are the dream of an alien” and other onanistic bangers
It’s more of a “proof by absurdity” against Young Earth Creationism. There’s no way of knowing if the universe was created five seconds ago or if the people around you are real with their own seperate thoughts, so it’s better to act as though the universe is not five seconds old and other people are real.
The argument made by YECs is stuff like fossils, evolution, sediment layers, tree rings, etc. are all “false evidence” put there by God to test our faith or by Satan to dissuade people from believing the Bible (depending on who you’re talking to). “Last Thursdayism” is a rejection of this, by using the same argument: “Then how do you know God/Satan didn’t invent the Bible to convince you the universe wasn’t made last Thursday?”
The point is we can only rely on what we can physically experience. Acting as though material evidence is a trick helps no one.
Ah, nice.
