For the longest time after first watching murder drones I've wanted to make a video about the bio mimicry of the drones and theoretical anatomy. It mostly just an idea at this point since I don't know anything about video making yet and I just have a headset microphone, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about it

With a recent though and conclusion being that drones in the show having more in common with a hybrid EV car than a modern day robot

I think one of the more interesting things about their anatomy to me, is the fact that they use motor oil as coolant because that isn't something you'd typically do with a computer but it is one of the purposes of oil in an engine

they're very small, and shown to be fragile enough for a fork to the screen to kill one but at the same time normal worker drones are shown to be way stronger than humans, able to bite through chain and bend wrenches with one hand. They are industrial machinery like, will crush your entire hand or body without slowing down or stopping type machines

they're little glass-canon car-adjacent creatures they're a bit closer to these types of robots than they are to any modern androids or animal-shaped robots

Fungus robots definitely wasn’t a research project that was relevant during the development of the game, but it makes me wonder of the conceptual potential with D:BH androids being biohybrid AI.

Using fungus as substance for brain matter or for more complex processors like heat signal or other sensory input because Fungi are living systems. specifically Mycelia has the ability to sense chemical and biological signals and respond to multiple inputs, making changes in the agricultural industry using fungus to detect Ph balance in soil for row crops.

Fungi also supposedly have shown a pattern of electrical impulses, which mimic language and grammatical structures. Like literal back and forth communication, functionally similar to neurons. Seeing this revelation would make anyone want to connect it to a robot to see what it could do. & sure enough fungus can absolutely control robots, amongst other things like responding to light.

With that, intermingling fungi with biocomponents to mimic more complex environmental inputs that computers itself can’t process would make some great androids. Maybe the fungus could develop its own thought patterns and reactions to environmental stimulus instead of following the computer portion of programmed information. Mostly because the software cannot form an accurate response to emotional shocks, or to more tricky forms of communication such as social cues.

Therefore if CyberLife androids were biohybrid robots, and the deviation of their programming is as a result of fungal growth in response to stimuli…

wouldn’t that make them an organic form of intelligent life?

🤖 Tell me this:

★Reblog for a bigger sample size★

Robot: a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically. / It must be able to do at least one task a human could do physically in a similar way. Doesn't have to resemble physically.

Humanoid Robot: A robot resembling the human body in shape. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. / Must be recognizable as replicating a human to anyone who knows what a human is.

Android: A robot with a human appearance. / Looks more passibly human. Uncanny in their similarities even if clear differences.

Cyborg: A person whose physical abilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by mechanical elements built into the body. / Person with mechanical limbs (I don't really care if it enhances it tbh, let cool tech limbs count as cyborgs of they want)

Mecha: A large armored robot, typically controlled by a person riding inside the robot itself. / Big, has a person driving... usually.

Industrial Robots: Are robotic arms that can move in several directions and can be programmed to carry out many different types of tasks in different environments. / Arms only

Hiiiiiiii, do you have any hc about the cunning hares interactig with other factions?? Ö (btw I do have like, 3 pages done of the comic-thing I asked permission about, would you like to see them :3? I know It's been a while since then, but I'm a slow artist tbh xD)

AHDJSBEHABWBA FUCK YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM OML [formatting’s gonna be a wee bit different bc my trusty computer will be unavailable to me until wednesday]

i’m a slow artist too dw dw, i bet these pages are amazing

As for Hare Headcanons pt.4~ it’s definitely something i’ve thought about. sooo just for u, here it is <3 <3 <3 -> Masterlist

Victoria Housekeeping:

Corin’s an Honorary Hare [post here]

Rina’s bangboos absolutely LOVE Billy, and they hover over his shoulders whenever the two team up to give him a little power boost [the android gets really tired afterwards though, bc they end up kinda subconsciously feeding off his energy in return]

Lycaon teaches Nekomata how to get more power behind her kicks

Belobog Heavy Industries:

Anton and Billy are BESTIES [like the kind you’d look at and raise an 🏳️‍🌈? eyebrow at] Grace is insanely jealous that the mechanical wonder that is Billy prefers to hang out with her coworker instead of her [but she’s happy Anton has a friend outside of work more than anything else]

Ben Bigger lets Anby and Nekomata hang and swing from his arms whenever they come by

Koleda and Nicole bond over their teams being full of reckless and eccentric dum dums [and duly ignore their own reckless dum dum habits]

PubSec:

They run.

Section 6:

It’s rare that they cross paths in the Hollows, but when it DOES happen: Miyabi is Anby and Nekomata’s favorite [they bombard her with questions and praise]

Nicole bribes Yanagi into not reporting the Hares’…. less than legal activities..

Billy carries Soukaku on his shoulders and runs her around whatever area the two factions meet in [they’re truly terrifying when they team up in battle though]

Sons of Calydon:

The Cunning Hare dames are very protective of their resident android when it comes to these guys [they’re quietly worried that Billy will leave them to rejoin his old team]

Burnice and Lighter have hoards of pictures of every little thing Billy did when he was a Son and they show them off like embarrassing grandparents at EVERY opportunity [Billy is MORTIFIED]

Caesar makes sure to let Nicole know she’s doing a great of leading the Hares

Random Play:

BESTIE SQUADDDDD

They have movie nights every few weeks when their schedules align

If you ever see a Hare out and about, chances are they dragged one of the siblings out with them

and i’ll throw this one in since she’s all by her lonesome in the Obol Squad: Soldier 11 is like that cryptid you see in the middle of the night -> no Hare knows where she’ll show up, or when, but it’s become habit to just- toss her a snack and continue on their way

Tango Tek

Affiliation: Civilian

Power: Artificial Humanoid

It's not uncommon for the higher-ups of organizations and businesses to be supers, especially if their powers align with their role. The CEO of Tek Industries is a bit of a special case, though. Technically, Tango Tek is not a superhuman - because he's not a human. It's almost impossible to tell by looking at him, but what he is is a very realistic-looking android.

Of course, Tek Industries is famous for their information security, and that includes their own, making documentation like this difficult. Even when the original founder Tek passed and Tango took over, nothing got out - not even an official fake story. No one knew Tango's relation; most people assumed a brother, cousin, what have you. But the truth is that Tango was built by the founder of the company, possibly for the express purpose of taking over when he died.

In addition to his near-perfect human likeness and his skill in running a business, Tango holds another valuable part of Tek Industries: inside his own computer brain, he keeps the most important data the company protects. This makes Tango himself very valuable to any malicious entities. It's a testament to Tek’s technology and foresight that there has been only one known security breach since Tango gained ownership - and even that was stymied before any data was leaked, and all parties involved have since swept the incident under the rug. Tek Industries has a reputation to uphold, and the nHo doesn't exactly like to publicly lose.

What's going on?

Figuring Out My Phone Use

I keep struggling to write this because it keeps going long. Maybe I'll write an essay on it someday. But for now here are some paradigms and changes that are helping me renegotiate my relationship with my phone. This is Android focused but I think there are things Apple users might be able to glean.

Paradigm Shifts

In the 00's the wellness industry fixated on weight and we're entering an era where it'll focus on screen time and phones. Conspicuous consumption of wellness alternatives is incoming - victim blaming to follow.

Companies profit off of me using my phone in certain ways and they profit off of me being anxious about using my phone too much. Using my phone in ways that don't drive profit for them and being relaxed/unashamed about my phone usage is key.

What would I buy to replace what I use my phone for? That's now what my phone is for - everything else can come off of it.

Consuming more products to "fix" issues with my phone should be done sparingly, ideally as a last resort. I can start with what I have/where I am.

Rules for My Phone

Nothing with infinite scroll

Nothing news focused

Where possible, no ads

These rules are born out of experimentation. They're my technology intolerances. The same way I don't eat gluten because it makes me break out in hives and I'm stuck in bed for a week, I don't use infinite scroll because I wind up brain fogged and extremely irritable.

My advice would be to note when you feel crappy after tech use and see what aspects of it were involved.

My Phone Set Up

I am using an older phone (Samsung, 2020) running Android. I use minimalist phone as my launcher - 10/10 would recommend. I bought the lifetime tier and haven't regretted it. Their customer service has been very helpful in my experience.

I've styled it a bunch of different ways but this is my current set up

I made a custom green theme, because I love green, but they have several dark and light modes that come stock. So don't let my taste put you off of it.

I decided the main things I would buy to replace my phone were a phone, camera, ereader, ipod, and some sort of gaming device. I also have a family Discord server I use to keep up with my parents and siblings and Anylist is the glue keeping my household together.

So that's what guided what I kept visible, especially on the home screen. I have the phone icon set to open Signal which is my messaging app of choice. Camera icon opens the camera. Swiping up automatically opens a search engine which I have set to DuckDuckGo - highly recommend.

I've renamed the apps so the focus is on what I use them for - and I gave them little heart icons for the cute factor. I have a large micro SD card and the music and books I use are stored locally - we canceled Spotify and most other streaming. So everything I use in that regard, I load on to it with my computer - not difficult to do at all.

Everything else that didn't get pulled off with the three rules above and I wanted to hang on to went into the heart folder at the top of the second picture. I can still type their names into the search bar to find them. Minimalist phone allows me to rename apps so if I keep typing in the wrong thing, I can just change the name - so handy.

I have most Google products disabled and hidden - meaning they won't pop up if I search for them. I'm working on switching to Proton - which yes I know has it's own issues but still would likely work better for what I want. I probably will not keep email on my phone when I switch. If I need a QR code, I'll just screenshot it on my laptop and message it to myself.

I wanted to make my games visible so I play them more. I don't mind winding down with one of these. They're not ones I tend to binge. I play a few rounds/days and I'm done. It's a nice way to wind down.

If I had to have mobile only social media or other problem apps for work - I'd ether be asking for a company phone or I'd find a cheapish secondhand one and put it on that so I can put it away when I don't need it. But that's me.

Hope this gets gears turning for someone out there. I've had a version of this set up for a couple weeks and love it. I hope you find what works for you.

The Tech Giant Of The World.

Serenity Industries: The Titan of Technological Supremacy

Founder:Erwin Bekker (a.k.a. Accel) Founded: 2070 Headquarters:Neo-Berlin, European Federation Current CEO:Liam Bekker (Post-Erwin Bekker’s Death) Specialization: Advanced AI, Robotics, Military Tech, Cybernetics, Energy, Space Exploration Market Valuation (2126):$23.9 Trillion (Largest tech conglomerate on Earth)

Origins: A Visionary’s Empire

Before becoming a legendary hero, Erwin Bekker was a prodigy. A genius in mechanical engineering, AI, and quantum computing, he founded Serenity Industries at just 21 years old in 2070, revolutionizing several key industries. Initially, the company specialized in next-gen cybernetics, creating biomechanical augmentations for disabled individuals. However, it quickly expanded into military technology, robotics, and AI-driven defense systems, securing multi-trillion-dollar contracts with the European Federation, the U.S., and Japan. By 2095, Bekker Industries had outpaced all competitors, effectively monopolizing advanced weaponry, AI warfare, and energy production.

Key Innovations & Divisions

• A.R.C. (Adaptive Robotics & Cybernetics)

• Military-grade androids & mechanized infantry

• SPARTAN-Grade Power Suits (Used by elite operatives worldwide)

• AI-powered prosthetics & augmentations

• VOLTERRA (Energy & Power Division)

• Zero-Point Energy Reactors (Replaced fossil fuels globally by 2102)

• Quantum Batteries (Used in both civilian and military sectors)

• Artificial Fusion Plants

• NEURO-NEXUS (Artificial Intelligence & Automation)

• AetherLink (The worlds fastest, and most reliable internet.)

• High-level AI for warfare, security, and research

• TITAN ARMS (Weapons & Defense Division)

• Kinetic Barrier Systems (Defensive energy shields for combat units)

• Plasma & Gauss Weaponry (Used by elite forces and private contractors)

• Experimental Anti-Superhuman Weaponry (Predecessor tech to Project-OMEGA)

• ASTRA (Space Exploration & Terraforming)

• Lunar & Martian Colonization Projects

• Deep-Space Mining Operations

• FTL (Faster-Than-Light) Experimental Propulsion

The Hidden Agenda: Anti-Superhuman Measures

While Bekker Industries publicly focused on human advancement, Erwin Bekker always feared the growing power of superhumans.

• Secretly funded research into superhuman suppression technology. • Helped create early SPARTAN prototypes to combat rogue Empowered. • Designed containment systems capable of restraining even SSS+ individuals. • Developed “Override” AI Kill-Switches that could shut down rogue AI or advanced cybernetics.

Legacy & Power Struggle:

With Erwin Bekker’s death (killed by Gluttony in 2121), Serenity Industries remains in chaos. His successor being his son, but over the years corporate leaders and world governments continue to fight for control over the company’s classified projects. Despite its unknown future, Serenity Industries remains the most powerful technological empire on Earth, holding the keys to humanity’s next evolution… or its extinction.

I've been working on this for a long time, and I still didn't go over everything I want to go over, so this is going to end up being a multi part series on how I make my wavs, as well as a bit of general audio engineering.

Reed Behind the Scenes Part One:

Microphones and Recording Environment

A couple of notes before we begin:

For this series I'm going to focus on audio recordings, not video recordings, as they are very different mediums with different requirements. I am by no means an expert, I just have a little more experience with audio production than the average person.

All of my equipment is in the Android/Microsoft ecosystem, and as such I do not have much experience with Apple products. I apologize in advance if anything I discuss does not work within the Apple ecosystem.

Let's talk about microphones. You can't make a recording without one, whether it's the one in your phone or a standalone mic. I use the latter, but some phones have decent mics. Since we just mentioned Apple products, I will say that I have heard that the microphones in iPhones are pretty good these days. When I record on my phone, I prefer to use a dedicated recording app, because it allows me to record directly to an mp3 or wav file that I can then export to my computer for editing, as opposed to recording a video and trying to rip the audio later. I use an app called Voice Record Pro, but there are plenty of voice recording apps out there.

For my best quality work, I use my microphone. You don't need a super fancy mic to make good recordings, but the kind of mic you get is important. There are many different kinds of mics at many different price points, but they generally fall into two categories: USB and XLR. USB microphones can plug directly into your computer, whereas XLR mics need to pass through an interface first. For the vast, vast majority of people looking to get a mic for making fetish content, I am going to recommend getting a USB mic, and the main reason is cost.

For XLR mics, you need two pieces of equipment: the mic itself and an audio interface to run it through to a computer. Not to mention XLR cables, a stand, and a mount. Even if you get a relatively inexpensive XLR mic, after you get all of the other equipment and accessories you need, you may as well have splurged on a decent USB mic.

I only recommend investing in a good XLR if you want to pursue a professional audio career of some kind, and even then I'd wait to sink serious money into it until after you've gotten your feet wet and know that it's really what you want to do. These can be very difficult industries to break into. I do professional voice work, so for my setup I have a Neumann TLM 103, Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, and a Surface Go tablet for recording. More on that in a bit.

In both USB and XLR there are generally three types of microphone: condenser (which is also sometimes called capacitor), dynamic, and ribbon. I'm not going to get into ribbon mics, because you don't need one just for snz content, and I'm not well-versed in them anyway. Most of the mics you will encounter when shopping for one online will be either condenser or dynamic.

Condenser mics are more sensitive than dynamic mics, so they're generally clearer and better suited for voice work. I'm using the word “generally” a lot here, because there's such a wide range of mics, and you may very well find a dynamic mic that works better for your voice and your space than a condenser mic. Unfortunately, the only way to really know for sure is to get one, try it out, and return it if it doesn't fit your needs.

There's this idea that dynamic mics are better for untreated spaces, because they're less sensitive and will therefore pick up less background noise. That's not exactly true. Dynamic mics do pick up fewer audio frequencies than condenser mics, so if you have some background noise that's outside of your mic’s frequency range, then that may not get picked up. Your average background noises, though—loud neighbors, motorcycles and trucks driving by, your cat meowing, the hum from your PC fan—those sounds will still get picked up. The best thing to do is to sound treat your space, but we'll get to that later.

I'll post a few recommendations, but I haven't used any of these mics for myself, so these are recommendations from the voice acting community at large as good budget mics. Any prices are USD, and unfortunately I don't know the global availability of these mics.

USB Mic Recommendations:

Blue Yeti USB

AudioTechnica AT2020 USB (Note that there is also an XLR version.)

Both can be purchased under $100 pre-owned. Both retail for around $130 new. If you're in the US, the nice thing about the Blue Yeti is that you can walk into just about any Best Buy and pick up a brand new one on the spot.

XLR Mic Recommendations:

RØDE NT1 5th Gen

AudioTechnica AT2020 XLR (As mentioned above.)

The AT, at about $100 new, costs less than half as much as the RØDE at $250. If you're set on an XLR but shopping on a budget, that may be the mic for you. The RØDE, on the other hand, is a great introductory mic for professional voice work. For these mics you'll need an audio interface, also called a preamp. A solid one for the budget-conscious, and what I use, is the Focusrite Scarlett Solo, which will set you back about $100 new.

The microphone I use, a Neumann TLM 103, retails for about $1,200 new. You can sometimes find them under $600 pre-owned. They're pretty much the gold standard in the animation industry for how well they can handle loud sounds, like yelling and screaming, without clipping. I invested in one several years ago when my husband got a nice bonus from work, for which I am eternally grateful. Do not go this far unless you are serious about voice work.

Now that you've learned far more about microphones than you ever wanted, let's talk about sound treatment for your recording space. Whether you're using a dedicated mic or your phone, sound treatment will always elevate the quality of your recordings. Even the highest quality mic in an untreated space will sound worse than an average quality mic in a well-treated space.

What is sound treatment? Sound treatment is taking steps to reduce and eliminate the amount of background noise and reverb from the space you are recording in. Have you ever noticed a slightly echoey quality to your voice in recordings? Like you can "hear the room"? That's reverb. When you speak, the sound waves go from your mouth to the microphone , but they also go out into the room and reflect off of the walls before coming back and hitting the microphone again, creating that slight echo. You'll need a sound treated space to prevent that from happening.

One fairly easy and inexpensive way to do this is to utilize thick moving blankets. You can try tacking them up in a closet or hanging them from a booth frame. I currently use a recording booth made from a PVC pipe frame with a double layer of moving blankets hung around it and draped overtop. (Here’s a link to a video tutorial on how to build your own). Another method is to use sound dampening panels hung on the walls of your recording space. A lot of folks use those textured foam tiles. Just be careful with those because if you get really cheap ones the foam can be poor quality that doesn't dampen sound very well. (The Foam Factory sells great acoustic foam, but the cost can add up quickly depending on the size of your space.)

I've also seen booths that are made by lining the walls of a closet with carpeting, so if you happen to have some carpet remnants that might work for you. I’m upgrading my own recording space by converting a closet into a recording booth. I'm building sound panels made from wooden frames filled with sound dampening insulation that I’ll hang on the walls. (Here's a link to that tutorial as well, but that option costs a few hundred dollars in supplies.) If nothing else, a closet filled with hanging clothes can do in a pinch to dampen background noise.

Let's talk a little bit about computers while we're on the topic of background noise. Remember way back when I mentioned my Surface Go tablet? Now remember when I talked about how mics can pick up PC fans? The Surface Go is how I get around the problem of PC fan background noise. The Surface Go doesn't have a fan, so it doesn't make any noise. I can bring it into the booth with me, hook my interface up to it, and use it to run my recording software. I'll then transfer the file to my main PC for editing. If you can do so with your space, you could potentially get cables that are long enough to leave your PC tower outside of the recording space so you can't hear the fan. Definitely cheaper than buying a tablet just for recording.

For editing, I use Audacity, which is a free digital audio workstation, or DAW. Another popular DAW is Reaper, which is "free" in that they don't limit the trial version, so you don't need to pay to use the full version (although they'd really like you to buy a license). I'm not going to go too far into depth on software and editing here, since I plan to do a Part Two on how I edit my recordings. Besides, this post has gotten long enough, and this seems as good a place as any to end it. I'm always open to questions on this kind of thing. Like I said, I'm not an expert, but I'll answer what I can, and if I don't know the answer I'll do my best to find the information for you. Thanks for reading this far, and I hope you've learned something that's helpful or at least interesting to you in some way 😊

Shui Long Yin VR Metaverse: Technologies and Digital Assets, and the melon about it being released in Summer 2025

What is the metaverse?

The Shui Long Yin metaverse is a parallel world closely resembling the real world, built through the use of digital modelling and technologies such as VR and AR, and designed to exist permanently.

This virtual realm integrates cutting-edge advancements, including blockchain, augmented reality, 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, and 3D engines.

When you acquire a ticket to this world, you gain a digital asset, allowing you to become an immersive citizen within the Shui Long Yin Metaverse.

Every item within Shui Long Yin can be experienced through Augmented Reality using VR devices, providing a seamless blend of the physical and digital realms. These digital assets are permanent, and in some cases, overseas users may trade or transfer their tickets to enter the Shui Long Yin world.

What is VR and AR?

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that enables users to interact within a computer-simulated environment.

Augmented Reality (AR), on the other hand, combines elements of VR by merging the real world with computer-generated simulations. A well-known example of AR is the popular game Pokémon Go, where virtual objects are integrated into real-world surroundings.

Tang LiCi's universe

The Shui Long Yin film crew has digitally modeled the core art assets, 50 000 square meters.

What technologies does China Mobile & Migu bring to the table?

China Mobile served as the lead organizer for the 2023 World VR Industry Conference. Its subsidiary, Migu, has also been dedicated to advancing projects in this area.

Shui Long Yin is their first priority this summer 2025.

5G+AI: VR world in Metaverse

AIGC AR 3D: Using AI technology in graphics computer, with the best trained AI system in China.

Video ringtones as a globally pioneering service introduced by China Mobile.

Shui Long Yin from Screen to Metaverse to Real Life: Epic Battles and Intricate Plotlines

The United States and China are world pioneers in the development of TV drama integration VR Metaverse. Notably, Shui Long Yin is the sixth TV drama map worldwide to be merged into the Metaverse.

How can we enjoy these technologies?

-- First we need 5G -- According to a report by the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), by June 2022:

》There are 70 countries around the world had active 5G networks, you can fully experience all the technology featured in Shui Long Yin.

Example: South Korea, China, and the United States have been at the forefront. Follow after are Japan, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Viet Nam...

》No worries—even in countries without 5G, you can still watch the drama and enjoy AIGC and 3D technology through the streaming platforms Migu Video and Mango.

•Mango available on IOS and Android, Harmony OS

•Migu (Mobile HD) soon availabe on IOS and Android, Harmony OS

-- Second, we need VR devices --

In country where VR is already commonplace, such as the United States, owning a VR device is considered entirely normal. Users can select devices that best suit their preferred forms of home entertainment.

European countries have also become fairly familiar with VR technology.

However, it is still relatively new to many parts of Asia. When choosing a VR device, it’s important to select one that is most compatible with your intended activities, whether that’s gaming, watching movies, or working.

It's no surprise to us that the drama Shui Long Yin will be released in the summer 2025, but it will also be coinciding with offline tourism to Long Yin Town in Chengdu, online VR Metaverse travel, and 3D experiences on the new streaming platforms Migu and Mango. Stay tuned!

[beer4breakfast19]

Dystopian authoritarian fiction has long served as a mirror reflecting society's fears and anxieties about power, control, and the loss of individuality. Authors like Aldous Huxley and George Orwell are central figures in this genre, crafting narratives that remain profoundly relevant.

The Foundations of Dystopian Fiction The genre gained prominence in the 20th century, with Huxley's Brave New World (1932) and Orwell's 1984 (1949) standing as seminal works. Huxley's vision depicted a society pacified by pleasure, consumerism, and genetic engineering, while Orwell's world was one of surveillance, propaganda, and brutal authoritarianism. Both authors explored themes of dehumanization, the manipulation of truth, and the suppression of dissent.

Other writers have expanded on these themes: - Ray Bradbury: His novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) critiques censorship and the erosion of intellectual freedom. - Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale (1985) examines gender oppression in a theocratic dystopia. - Philip K. Dick: Works like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) delve into questions of identity and reality under authoritarian systems. - Yevgeny Zamyatin: His novel We (1924) is often considered a precursor to Orwell's 1984, exploring a regimented society where individuality is suppressed.

Music and Film Inspired by Dystopian Themes The influence of these authors extends beyond literature into music and film: - Music: Bands like Pink Floyd (The Wall) and Radiohead (OK Computer) have drawn on dystopian themes, exploring alienation and societal control.

- Film: Movies such as Blade Runner (inspired by Philip K. Dick), The Matrix, and V for Vendetta reflect the genre's core concerns. Adaptations of 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale have brought these narratives to new audiences.

Nine Inch Nails and Gary Numan fit well into the realm of dystopian-inspired music. Both artists have explored themes of alienation, societal decay, and technological dystopia in their work. - Nine Inch Nails: Trent Reznor, the creative force behind Nine Inch Nails, has often delved into dark, dystopian themes. Albums like The Downward Spiral and Year Zero reflect a world grappling with control, despair, and the consequences of technological overreach.

Reznor's music combines industrial rock with haunting lyrics, creating soundscapes that resonate with dystopian fiction. - Gary Numan: Known for his pioneering electronic sound, Numan's work often portrays bleak, dystopian landscapes. Albums like Replicas and The Pleasure Principle explore themes of alienation and the dehumanizing effects of technology. His more recent works, such as Intruder, continue to reflect dystopian concerns, including environmental collapse and humanity's disconnection from nature. Both artists have drawn inspiration from dystopian narratives and have, in turn, influenced the genre with their unique musical interpretations. Their work complements the themes found in dystopian literature and film, making them integral to the broader cultural conversation.

Dystopian fiction continues to evolve, resonating with contemporary issues like surveillance, climate change, and technological overreach. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to challenge us to question authority and envision alternative futures.

RANT: technology and how I am stressed about the future of it

With the rate that technology is evolving and how so many people are putting all their chips in robots and ai...

The events in the game being set to thirteen years away (2038) doesn't seem as impossible anymore and I am stressed.

Like I know the game isn't going to become real and that the game is fictional.

But the idea of sentience from a robot is a lot terrifying right?

I'm not alone in thinking sentient robots are terrifying right?

The idea that robots become so important in day to day life is terrifying

And you're not allowed to call me crazy when machines have literally already taken over to some degree.

Computers, telephones, card readers, and a lot more technology has replaced human operated things.

There used to be a whole operating line where people had to connect you to other businesses when you called.

Factory machineries have replaced too many careers than I can even name.

Door to door salesman have gone way down ever since advertising became digitalized.

I mean they're even replacing cashiers in some degree. Self checkouts keep popping up everywhere.

Heck they're laying off teachers in favor of just giving students a website to learn on their own and take tests on.

And if we're moving into not just physical machinery we have the whole ai taking over different fields fiasco. Art, voices, writing, even full on videos have started to be made by ai which threatens humans that use these mediums as a career.

And while yes we're not at android level yet.

The top technology of 2012, was mini tablets. That was thirteen years ago.

And if we can go from mini tablets to how technology is now in thirteen years.

Then how far are we going to go in the next thirteen?

What happens when the world becomes self sufficient on machinery alone? When machines do everything to upkeep themselves and create themselves?

IM SCARED MAN

INVENTING THE TELEPHONE IS ONE THING IN INVENTING ROBOTS TO TAKE OVER MORE PARTS OF THE WORLD THAN THEY ALREADY DO OWN IS ANOTHER.

I'm stressed

I don't wanna be here anymoreeeeeee

I'm going into the farming industry if I ever reach recovery. Plants are too complicated for robots to master for awhile. Plus they need to be grown outside and require all different types of upkeep tasks that vary in skill and field.

I firmly believe that farming is going to be a harder field to completely robot-ify. Because plants are very hard to maintain if you aren't gentle with them. While farm machines do exist to assist farmers when farming. It's not going to be automated on a major level anytime soon.
