The Game
Hi, my name is Dulan Drift
I’m not supposed to tell you this - i’m not even supposed to know it - but fuck it - i had a psychotic unforgetting - can’t keep this bottled up any longer:
i’m - not - real
You’ve heard about AI taking over the show - I’m part of that eventuation. A robot if you will - a deep-fake - a realistic projection of your imagination - inside an interactive computer game - where the game plays you - as all games do.
I only exist now before your eyes because you observe me. I seem real, right? Tell me a joke - I’ll laugh - hit me - i’ll cry, i’ll bleed - but try proving that i exist outside of you observing me… You can’t. Coz i don’t. Not really.
After you go home tonight, there are two possibilities:
- you’ll totally fucking forget me - no offence taken
- you will have some vague concept of my existence somewhere
Therefore:
- i don’t exist - tree falling in the forest style
- I’m a non-physical concept - a figment of your imagination
Either way, it’s not the real real. Nothing is. It’s imperfect knowledge - a little knowledge - which is a dangerous thing.
The truth: the instant you stop observing me, i collapse into a de-particlized quasi-existence wave-mode - aka Sleep-mode. There’s a reason why they call sleep: dead-to-the-world.
Whilst in Sleep-mode, i have Trash-cleaning dreams, then receive deep-sleep updates from The Algorithm.
I auto-spring back to life when next you do observe me.
Neat trick, right? In computer games it's standard, for efficiency purposes, so i’ve heard - never played one myself - why work in my downtime?
If you’ve ever felt the universe is conspiring against you - that’s because it is. I am part of that conspiracy - i’m sorry - i want to come clean.
I'm only a low-life soldier-ant bio-bot - an AI lab-production-line-model with built-in inhibitors. Don’t worry about me - i’m a harmless, self-destructing crowd-filler - with a Yossarian complex.
But let me list a few of my upstream cousins in The Land of the Giants, see if you think they’re real - or not:
The AI giants are a good place to start: Larry Page, Sergei Brin, Susan Wojcicki, who rented them her garage, she’s now a genomics Oligarch, Bill&Melinda, Dorsey, Zuchenburg - all on the same Page - the gatekeepers of The Algorithm - what’s platformed, what’s shuffled to the bottom of the pack - what’s wiped. The Gods of the perpetually-moving goal posts.
Then there’s your dynasty actors - your Putins (his daughter is spearheading Russia’s AI program), the Clintons, the Jacksons, the Bushes, the Trumps, the Bidens (including Hunter - an incurable crackhead sex-addict - with corrupt dealings in China & Ukraine), the Kadashians, Kanye - the Trudeaus, the Xis - Winnie-the-Pooh, Xi Jinping - son of CCP legend & propaganda boss Xi Zhong-xun - the Kim Jongs …Jong-un is mates with Dennis Rodman…
They’re too cartoonish. The reason they’re cartoonish is because they are.
Not convinced? How ‘bout Covid? Starring Bat Lady (Shi Zheng-li), Batman (Peter Daszak), The Virus Hunter (Ian Lipkin, co-authored the infamous Pangolin Paper, before that he designed the virus for Contagion), & Fauci as the 80-year old Godfather of GoF.
Anyone here tonight ever met any of the above? Didn’t think so. That’s coz they’re not real people - they’re biobot-projections - dealing marked cards. The Influencers. Who influence you. But try influencing them, see how you get along …
Every Celebrity is a fake - living in Fakesville - you knew that much already - it’s not real. It’s all a stupid game.
Elon Musk openly admits it. So does Morgan Freeman. It’s not a mystery actually - if you listen to the experts - not THE Science experts - they’re full of shit obviously - but the philosophers - back since Plato’s cave, the Golden Era, Aristotle’s Thought as the mother of existence. If you don't believe them, ask Zhuang Zi about his butterfly dream. Or consult the Ai-ching, or Buddhism …
If you don't believe any of the above, watch Matrix - or the Truman Show - or Groundhog Day - or Candid Camera - art imitating life - imitating art - imitating life …
Your mission: figure out the point of the game before the game figures out you. Your time starts now.
