but it's not a vidya game because the show literally says they are conscious living human beings.
here are lots of other episodes where that is also the premise.

Except that’s impossible since consciousness is not algorithmic
You might as well say the shows premises is 2+2=5
Unless you suspend your belief cause it’s just a show, it won’t make sense. Like the eagles flying to Mordor
Sentience is more important that what you define as life. It's basically a mechanical recreation of a biological trait. It's also made up, as in not in our reality, but in make believeland where everywhere is possible.
If I had to choose between you and a brain in a vat in a trolley problem I would divert the trolley on the off-chance the brain has a greater thought-life than you. Seems likely even.
>You might as well say the shows premises is 2+2=5
Yeah it's called science fiction, bud.
I'm not saying the show isn't hot garbage
I'm saying that's the way the show is written so this meme can finally die
But you're also the NPC in a video game, you just haven't realized it since your actions don't have immediate consequences.
If you do not hold all forms of life as sacred, why should God treat you any differently?
Yeah but your consciousness is defined by the physical nature of reality (i.e. neurons firing) imbued with the "divine spark of life" (awareness)
The interplay between the two allows you to question your reality. Otherwise you'd be a simple beast at the whim of impulse, completely controlled by external forces.

You are exactly that though. It's been proven that all conscious human thoughts are elaborate self-deception. Humans make decisions long before they have conscious thoughts about what they decided. Essentially, humans don't really think about anything, they just trick themselves into thinking they're thinking.

They're not living human beings, though. They're lines of code. A dog's life is worth more than theirs.
it doesnt matter because in the show they're supposed to be conscious human-like beings
They're supposed to be. They aren't, though.
Sorry, cant suspend my believe that hard. Bot lives dont matter.

Everyone look at this retard, hypocrite that he is, that trusts the chemicals in his brain to tell him they they are chemicals
>It's been proven that all conscious human thoughts are elaborate self-deception
You only think you think that
They really went beyond credulity to make a fictional universe where letting your Sims drown in the pool is seen as a bad thing
Is that Todd from BB?
You mean Jesse Plemmons, zoomer? Yes, its him.
No that’s the neighbor from Game Night
Most of Blackmirror is retarded bullshit
There's already a thread about this trash. Fuck off
he is in the wrong because he is an ugly nerd
>reconstructs his colleagues by taking a DNA sample
>their reconstructions have all of the memories of the real world counterparts
That's a cinema sin
>I reject your reality and substitute my own
>Implying digital NPCs can suddenly just grow a conscious
Black Mirror is such a garbage series, with only 3-4 episodes that are good.
His real crime was wasting all his talent and innovation to create a safe space for himself to play Star Trek
Which then killed him
dogshit premise only a midwit would think is thought provoking. same with westworld.
