tomscott.com - Or: what you see when you die.
If you liked this, you may also enjoy two novels that provided inspiration for it: Jim Munroe's Everyone in Silico, where I first found the idea of a corporate-sponsored afterlife; and Rudy Rucker's trippy Postsingular, which introduced me to the horrifying idea of consciousness slums.

+Andrew S. Greig Two points; one, you imply that because a thing happened in the past, it must be acceptable now and into the future. This is a logical fallacy. Two, you still have the physical capacity to have thoughts beyond those you are told to have. In this scenario, that is taken away. You believe whatever you are very literally programmed to believe, and absolutely nothing else. There can be no organizing, there be no resistance, whatever has that power is the totalitarian head of state, forever, wherever it is allowed to crop up, regardless of any other structure that exists.

Even if you're allowed to terminate life, it doesn't mean you will. When describing the tiers of life, it says that if you're tier 2 or lower, "your preferences may be altered to match those of our sponsors." Nominally that's just targeted advertising in reverse, but... It could also mean they'd force you to want to continue existing so you can continue being their simulated walking billboard

No need, all previous versions of Life are eligible for the new "LAAS" (Life As A Service) model. Your Life application is always kept up to date as new bugs and vulnerabilities are found. Of course you're always at risk involving zero-day Life exploits, which are used by hackers and/or the government to take control of your Life, but that's another matter. You may also opt in to defer Life Updates so that there's less chance of Life breaking patches being applied, since those are more thoroughly tested.

@@em.1633 Ideally you'd bring them out sometimes. The primary tier is entirely for rich people, while the other 2 tiers are to create slaves. This means if we had the ability to create human bodies we could upload individual brain washed entities. You'd have people who can't argue but seem normal. Essentially blind fans but WORSE. Then in irl they give you their money.

I wonder what the "ruined by lawyers" means. I suppose it refers to how Life was orginally a good idea, but then unchecked capitalism and state anti-terrorism measures happened? I initially thought it meant Life had been terminated by lawyers. "No, sorry, this heavily restricted and regulated simulation is like a dystopic vision of the future, you can't do this".
