So…what you’re saying is my body is… a GPU…can it run Doom‽

Lucky_777@lemmy.world on 16 Apr 05:23 next collapse

They got Doom running on an actual potato 🥔. Human body? Easy.

I know i can, doing it on another screen now.

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de on 16 Apr 08:50 collapse

people can dream that they’re playing doom, so yes

plus people who play games with no sensory input (i.e. blindfolded and with earplugs) are effectively just playing the game in their head

It does hijack your cellular machinery to mine its own building instruction hashes, doesn’t it?

Sounds like the plot of a scifi book I would absolutely read.

In the next "The Matrix" reboot, the robots are just using humans to mine bitcoins.

boreengreen@lemm.ee on 16 Apr 10:07 collapse

It would make more sense.

CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 16 Apr 10:52 collapse

Fun fact: the original Matrix script actually had the machines using humans for processing instead of as energy output.

Studio execs thought it was too far fetched and made them change it.

voodooattack@lemmy.world on 16 Apr 10:57 collapse

It would be more plausible today. Big AI networking our brains as a big neural net that doesn’t consume too much energy compared to the alternatives, slow but very efficient if you’re looking at the long term; but that brings up the fact that the first thing it’d do in that case is find a way to get rid of all that unnecessary flesh wasting its resources and turn us into brains in jars.

That’s actually a cool concept, nanobots that infect humans to mine cryptocurrency

And they aren’t paying per compute time. Rent-free, always.

I have once accidentally exposed a postgres container to the net with the default password and then I wondered why my server is running at 100% 🤷‍♂️

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 16 Apr 13:42 collapse

Lmao how long was it running.

kameecoding@lemmy.world on 16 Apr 13:44 collapse

Took me like a week, I assumed it was people using my plex server not using correct settings and trigger transcodes on everything

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 16 Apr 15:19 collapse

Haha, I mean how long was it open? I’m starting to spin up containers and I get so paranoid playing with it. Just curious. Usually I set them up offline though.

kameecoding@lemmy.world on 16 Apr 21:45 collapse

I don’t remember, had to have been weeks.

Gladaed@feddit.org on 16 Apr 13:47 next collapse

In case one didn’t know: we do this in part since our anatomy does handle high temperatures better than foreign organisms. Hence it disrupts their lifecycle aiding in defense.
