A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Imagine being told that you're dead.
“You died on 2 August 1979. You were on a fishing ship at sea that sank with all hands.”
You are a computer programmer, you were born in 1985, you've never been within 200 miles of any body of water larger than a river, and come to think of it, you've always had a peculiar fear of oceans and lakes.
Did the AI make up a story of your death…or is it somehow aware that that's the day your previous life ended?
mom come pick me up I'm scared
