      They got Doom running on an actual potato 🥔. Human body? Easy.

      people can dream that they’re playing doom, so yes

      plus people who play games with no sensory input (i.e. blindfolded and with earplugs) are effectively just playing the game in their head

      In the next “The Matrix” reboot, the robots are just using humans to mine bitcoins.

          Fun fact: the original Matrix script actually had the machines using humans for processing instead of as energy output.

          Studio execs thought it was too far fetched and made them change it.

            It would be more plausible today. Big AI networking our brains as a big neural net that doesn’t consume too much energy compared to the alternatives, slow but very efficient if you’re looking at the long term; but that brings up the fact that the first thing it’d do in that case is find a way to get rid of all that unnecessary flesh wasting its resources and turn us into brains in jars.

    It does hijack your cellular machinery to mine its own building instruction hashes, doesn’t it?

    I have once accidentally exposed a postgres container to the net with the default password and then I wondered why my server is running at 100% 🤷‍♂️

          Haha, I mean how long was it open? I’m starting to spin up containers and I get so paranoid playing with it. Just curious. Usually I set them up offline though.

    In case one didn’t know: we do this in part since our anatomy does handle high temperatures better than foreign organisms. Hence it disrupts their lifecycle aiding in defense.
