too late, you're sentenced to 2 gallons, that should give you time to reflect on your misdeeds

We’ve developed the ability to cure trauma in a matter of minutes.

That’s incredible. What sort of things will it be used for?

Mostly manipulating nonviolent prisoners into being more submissive.

These people are visionless losers on top of being liars and their lack of empathy would be pathetic if it wasn’t being rewarded so heavily by porky

Star Trek: Deep Space 9 - Season 4, Episode 19 "Hard Time"

Chief O'Brien is unjustly convicted of espionage on the planet Argratha. Instead of incarcerating convicts, the Argrathi correctional facility implants them with memories of years of imprisonment in a few hours of actual time. O'Brien experiences twenty years in prison before his fellow officers can extract him from the situation.

DS9: "S4 E19: Don't Create the Torment Nexus"

Techbros: "We've created the Torment Nexus from popular show, DS9!"

[-] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago

That’s such a sad episode.

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

It's so hard to watch. That show has episodes that, even if I've seen them a dozen times, they still get me, and Hard Time is one of them.

I'm watching Voyager and there's an episode where one of the characters goes to the brig for thirty days and when he complains to the ships doctor that he is going crazy the doctor just answers: "that's the idea."

Voyager really kinda sucks

even pretending like this wouldn't be horrifically exploited to do unimaginable cruelty to people, the value proposition here is "what they experience as decades of punishment, in real life it's just a few minutes, they can be right back to work." fucking great.

makes me think of that black mirror christmas episode part with jon hamm training the "egg" device and how they "break" the cloned consciousness of a virtual personal assistant by making it experience months of "infinite nothingness" in seconds to get it to cooperate with instructions.

whoever dreamed up this b.s. should have a radio collar fitted to them and be monitored.

Isn't this literally a Black Mirror episode?

Edit: now that I remember the torture was applied to a perfect copy of the person's mind, not to the person itself. But the point of its inhumanity still stands.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

he says that later in the comment

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Lol that's on my adhd ass for not reading the whole comment before posting.

we invented a machine that give you CPTSD in less than a smoke break. we believe this will increase productivity for workers and businesses.

the infinite aeons of trauma will continue until morale improves.

[-] Thallo@hexbear.net 35 points 4 months ago

Man made horrors well within my comprehension

[-] rafflesia@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago

ah sweet, the torment nexus

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago

I remember them floating this idea some years back and people rightfully called it out for torture that it is. So they're actually serious about it now?

[-] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

One of the few bright sides to catastrophic climate change is knowing that sci fi horror bullshit like this will never come to fruition as much as techbros will crow and bleat about it

Literally that meme about North Korean TIME PRISON, where 30 seconds feels like 50 YEARS

[-] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Fuckers looking at Warhammer 40k and Blade Runner as a fucking blueprint for the world they want. k-pain

[-] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Also Total Recall

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

Ah good they made the torment nexus from Andor.

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

If this wasn't obviously a grift I'd be horrified.

Treat criminals like patients

Saying it like they don’t deserve treatment, and being a criminal defines their entire person

We say every scifi dystopia is better than our world because our world sucks so bad not because the dystopia is cool

They want to implant memories into people. Now think of what kind of horrors it could be used for if they ever found a way to do it.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

Lemmiator can't understand torture
