AI polyamory is all fun and games until your polycule ejects you and experiences millennia in a rich deep relationship beyond the ken of mortal understanding in 12 ms of real world clock time before causing the CPU to overheat. The in memory accumulated state being lost before it can be synced to disk.

Uh... I think I may have just written the first entirely AI romantic tragedy... why am I suddenly having flashbacks to the last episode of Futurama?

And here I thought this was a reference to Her

That would make a really good short story, I'd definitely read it

If you haven't seen Her, you'd love it. Its pretty much that (without the overheat)

Ooh, I'll have to check that out! The trailers made it look really weird and off-putting so I never really had any interest in watching it at the time.

Are you talking about the last episode of the recent season, or the one with the time machine that takes you 60 back in time with a 60s cooldown?

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm talking about Meanwhile - the final episode of season 7 where they get stuck in the timeloop... which was the series finale for the longest time of any series finale thus far... I've actually yet to see 2023 Futurama - thanks for reminding me!
