/cyb/ - Cyberpunk Fiction and Fact

Environments are so messy in Cowboy Bebop and I think it's interesting that old people react to it with "omg this world feels so organic and lived in and natural" while younger people react with "jesus christ doesnt anyone clean in this universe? Why is everyone a fucking junkie? Christ some kid's playing the harmonica in a smoking room".

Cowboy Bebop is the best thing Japan ever made.

>>2149
It is a good show.

I get why small viruses aren't considered life but I just don't understand why giant viruses are considered nonliving while intracellular oblobigate bacteria like rickettsia are considered to be alive.

>>2157
It's not really a question of size, but functionality. Viruses have no capability to reproduce on their own, and no biologica funtions other than to stick to and infect host cells. They technically can't even move on their own. They don't move, breed, eat, breath or fuck: they're better described as objects than living things; plausibly the vestige of some bygone cell-signalling method gone horribly wrong.

>Viruses have no capability to reproduce on their own, and no biologica funtions other than to stick to and infect host cells.
This is is also true of intracellular obligate bacteria.

>They don't move, breed, eat, breath or fuck: they're better described as objects than living things; plausibly the vestige of some bygone cell-signalling method gone horribly wrong.
Giant viruses have all the nessicary genes for metabolism.

>>2170
>have all the nessicary genes for metabolism.
What? What kinds of metabolic functions do they even have? Do they have any catabolic or anabolic activities?

>>2195
"schi-fi"? I don't understand the joke.

>>2196
The joke is that the board is full of schizos. Schizophrenia starts with /sch/.

>>2197
Nice joke!
"Storing explosions and taking them home to put them somewhere more useful" indeed. We can get hydrogen from places far less dangerous than the sun.

Do you think JEWISH NIGGER BOTS are going to be a thing one day? Just niggering along with swinging arms and spinning hands going "BEEP BOOP, I AM A NIGGER. TAKE ME TO YOUR WHITE WOMEN". It plays shitty rap out of every orfice in its body at once. It runs into walls. It runs into people and attacks them and calls the cops on them if they can't be beat by the niggerbot. Nobody can hack the program to make it hate niggers.

On the Esoteric Aspects of Technology.

What is it that suggests demons are waveforms?

>>2395
The idea is unsettling and the implications on modern technology are obvious.
Reeeeeeeeeeeee

>>2395
That face looks cool. Got any more shit like that?

>>2395
>the intersection of computer technology and what we knot about demons suggests that demons are waveforms
yeah, I'm gonna need a source on that because that sounds pretty fake and gay.

>>2399
>that sounds pretty fake and gay
The proof is evident and pretty straightforward. Everything that manifest into the physical realm has an associated waveform, a crude example of that is the intrinsic resonance of all matter.
Physics and Magick 101.

>>2400
Associated waveform of what? What is creating the wave? What is the frequency of this wave? What is happening enough to show a frequency at all?

You're not using words that are commonly defined, you're using words from Deepak Chopra and getting smug that we don't understand your gobbledygook.

>>2401
>You're not using words that are commonly defined
I'm sorry, I don't have the proper reference at hand but I found something that might help.

>Resonant Frequencies
>Every physical system has a resonant frequency.

The above gives you a glimpse on the mundane scale, the Earth has its own frequency at macro scale, and going to the micro scale we enter into the electric semiconductors' realm where funny things begin to happen. Suffice to say that if demonic activity can be felt, then that presence must be accompanied by a resonance, also the inverse might be valid.

Thanks anon, I guess I'll look into it this week. Also, forgot to mention, I'm not the anon who said it was fake and gay. I'm genuinely interested in the possibility, just not convinced yet.

Remember, vibration (resonance) is energy manifested in many forms. Look at the graphic for the whole spectrum.

>Everything that's a wave is spiritual.
In the days of the birth of the internet a group of people did an experiment to banish any demons (paranormal/spiritual beings) from hardware/software. Things crashed and the connection cut before the planet wide banishment occurred fully.
There is correlation of spiritual matters and material matters that's been known for ages.
>>2402
>Waves can do cool stuff.
Like matter and waveforms, beings that are spiritual do also exhibit those qualities barring the stranger ones but those ones aren't a concern right now.
What can be tested is physical effects of stuff made of matter behaving differently when compared to matter that has such beings and when compared to matter in a zone designed to block such beings.
A huge issue is accounting for all the variables and errors.
There's much more than just String Theory but also Spiritual.

>>2405
To clarify pinning everything as demons (or anything spiritual) be physical waveforms is a stretch without any evidence.
What is known is that the physical and genuinely spiritual do interact.

>>2406
>is a stretch without any evidence
Sure, I agree. That said, intuition and telepathy lack evidence too, and yet we feel and even use them everyday.

>>2407
Intuition is just pattern recognition passed down between generations.

>>2408
Not quite.
Intuition doesn't depend on the senses, and can alert on something happening remotely. Some people have it, some don't.

I second >>1493 over there in respecting your digits and congratulating you on an absolutely fantastic post.

I'm trying to work through a certain kind of religion-related thing here, and I'm seeing a ton of new layers to just about every idea. Your post really hits the spot on a number of angles and made connections in my head that I'd never made before. Thanks for that.

I believe it is the same mechanism used by other mechanical brands, the machine goes crazy for 2 or 3 minutes and returns ERROR printed in red ink, if I remember well.

Was the monkey alive? this is some nightmare shit.

This is what happens when money mixes with science, all the moral boundaries are jettisoned in a blink.

They already wired multiple monkey brains together to have them do things. And it worked, the brains (monkeys) were able to cooperate on tasks. That was about ten or so years ago.
>>2542
Sounds roughly correct for what they're aiming for.

>>2545
I think the point is to create coherent messages from neural networks. It's pretty groundbreaking for the future of cybernetics and/or other computation. Being able to translate an image from electrodes hooked to brainwaves is a pretty big deal. Those images are clearly faces, and recognizably monkey faces (the dark eyeholes, pronounced browline and pale face surrounded by darker colors are a dead giveaway): the machine was able to interpret images from the monkey's memory and imagination by analyzing the part of its brain that produces abstract thoughts.

>>2545
They were alive then?
>>2546
Fuck that shit, its so dystopic and you are simping for it.. i don't want these faggots to be able to read thoughts.

>>2547
>you are simping for it..
Learn to read, faggot. What part of my post said that I approved of this? I said it was a breakthrough, not that it's good.
>i don't want these faggots to be able to read thoughts
Well, it looks like they already can, to a certain extent.

>>2547
>They were alive then?
Yes, or at least mostly alive. If they were dead they wouldn't have thoughts to read.

>>2410
A lot of that is retroactive confirmation bias, a subconscious coping method that helps people deal with the unknown and unrelenting chaos of the Clownworld we live in.

Ahem.
I'm sure most of (you) have no idea what are these.
