You can play Doom using gut bacteria, but the framerate is atrocious

Not running the game's code on a biological computer (maybe that's next?) but showing the opening frame of the game rendered in bacteria is a good first step

Imagine living your entire live as a sentient being not knowing you're actually just a logic gate in a huge-ass computer.
I would bet there's someone who has made a custom ass shaped computer case.
"What up YouTube, today we're going to build a custom gaming PC for our special guest: Sir Mixalot!"
Is that a vintage xkcd?
very vintage, yes
That's basically reality for all of us right now
Guess it's not long until the Vogons come.
Well, they really could stand to get on with it, you know?
If we're really unlucky, they might read us some of their poetry.
And then when AI researchers come along to make it so we don't have to be logic gates in that computer, we complain about "losing our jobs."
Well yeah because this is capitalism, and those lost jobs will be lost forever, and everyone who was working them will suddenly have no source of income with nothing to replace it. Instead of taking care of those people, they'll just be collateral damage.
Sounds like the problem is with our economic system. There are ways to fix that. Even ways to fix "capitalism" so that it isn't necessary, without changing the fundamental concepts of freedom and personal property that people are so worried about.
