Cast
gollark: Possible crossover opportunities?
gollark: I mean, working from that idea that advanced civilizations would run a lot of simulations which may then themselves run simulations, and therefore it's likely that *we* are simulated... one of the major purposes of our simulations is entertainment (video gaming). These are steadily getting more complex; advanced civilizations may construct even more complex ones for their own entertainment.So while you may not live in a comic, you may be part of some ridiculously overkill video game.
gollark: You should also bring a hammer. You can either whack the server with it, or just threaten to.
gollark: <@325718443208736768> You're doing image recognition neural network things right?
gollark: I wonder how practical it would be to detect communist symbols in images automatically.
