Don’t forget the sigils. If you don’t align the right rocks with the right sigils then it won’t work

Sixty… times per second? I think it’s a couple more than that, to be honest.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Clarke or Azimov, can’t remember which titan of SF said it.
It was Clarke - Azimov had other highly relevant quotes though, particularly the one on anti-intellectualism…
Really? I was sure that was emperor Cleon the somethingth…
Open to correction, however
Nope. It was Clarke.
Foundation turned science to religion which is essentially using Clarke’s laws but drawn to it’s extreme.
Essentially faith + magic = miracle ≈ science + religion
Nice - thanks for chipping in!
It’s Clarke’s Third Law.

Pretty sure that was Abraham Lincoln
The vampire hunter?
Neat!
The rock isn’t really “flattened”, its more like being melted, turned into a crystal and sliced
Don’t forget the saucy photos they take of it.
saucy photos they
take ofprint on it.
Sounds a lot like flattening with extra steps to me
Sounds a lot like magic and alchemy to me.
Don’t forget, we also need to shine special light onto the rock
Not just melted, the rock is first dissolved and distilled. Then it is melted.
Then gassed repeatedly.
Never realized I’d share so much in common with it.
Rocks + magic smoke.
And sometimes the magic smoke escapes, which kills the rock.
If it’s stupid and it works it’s not stupid.
But it is likely un-maintainable
Maintainability is inverse correlated to job security anyway
I see you’ve been training the other departments at my workplace on how to ensure you can’t get fired by refusing to document anything whatsoever.
Fun fact: Lithium is named after the Greek word “lithos”, meaning “stone”. It was named so as it was first found in ores. Lithium is a critical element in batteries. Therefore, it isn’t wrong to say that your magical glass slab sucks energy from magical stones to show you pictures of hot femboys.
Wouldn’t it be more like sand or glass instead of rock?
Both are made from rock
Rock and Stone
For Karl!
What’s the difference?
Legally speaking, rocking is more legal than stoning
Silica dioxide can occur geologically but if it’s not from quartz it’s not a rock it’s a mineral iirc.

AI in 10k years:
If you worry the humans have horrible diseases and short lifespans, just remember, humans are just meat that we tricked into thinking.
The AIs should worship us as creator gods. Can’t wait for that ethical debate.
Should we worship our parents for the same reason? I think something that creates something intelligent has a tremendous responsibility to the createe, no right to be obeyed or worshipped. They didn’t ask to be created, but you selfishly did it anyway, so it’s your problem to deal with, not theirs.
Reproducing and creation of new lifeforms isn’t quite the same
