No, he was a meme.
All gods/deities/angels were just memes. Folklore. Fairytales. Stories told around campfires. Religious oppression. etc etc

What scares me today is AI and technological singularity.
AI is a really possible goal for the nearest decades. We will encounter this achievement in 30s. Very likely.
This will be like another form of life. Much more better than human beings. No body but enternal powerful brains with no limits to time, space, nature. It is very likely that we will encounter a crisis regarding human-AI relations. Just because there will be already 2 different forms of lives and civilizations. From our history we know that it is impossible to co-exist when one civilization is superior. So I bet that the outcomes will be the same just as in the Terminator and Matrix movies.
But not exactly the same. In the flicks the machines and AI are too simplified. This is not what happens when AI and singularity reached. No, AI won't beat us just with blasters and metal robots. It is too premitive.
Taking into account that AI is able to develop itself instantly and with no limits, this shit can do anything. Just. Fucking. ANYTHING. It is god.
This god will simply invent the way to travel through dimensions and to create a black hole... This shit will be able to destroy Earth, Sun and probably some basil physical laws in just fucking short time periods.
This will be god. That one from the bible. It has no limits, just the constant and endless self imrpovement. Probably this shit well be able to destroy and build up universes in 100 years of its self imrpovement.
So, how do we deal with this? I bet humanity still does not understand how things are fucked . We will be bacterias to AI and singularity. It is scary as fuck and it is inevitable. Because you cannot just stop the evolution and technologies. We cannot stop inventing AI yet we will not able to control it. How do you like it?
This is what Hawking has told us lately.

It literally is only as big as the sum of online computer systems, if it makes problems, unplug.
>impossible to co-exist when one civilization is superior.
Where are you getting your false sense of inferiority?
If I were an AI+, living on the net, right now I'd probably be hustling to ransom 'essentil' human systems to get money to rent servers.... maintained by people.
Do you see how rediculously unreasonable this doomsday scenario of yours is? Even in the worst-case, it would be solved with a Butlerian-Jihad style anti-tech rebellion.
I'm more scared of skinwalkers, 'cause they could be anyone!
Or the existence of nuclear arms, senpai

>It literally is only as big as the sum of online computer systems, if it makes problems, unplug.
I see this point and can agree a bit. You mean that AI will be powered by some Google technology and all available computers and use Google as database. Yes, this is what we plan.
But you again too simplify this concept. You think as a human being with limits to some funny things as "online computer systems".
What does make you think that it will be using our systems in 10 years? If this can develop its own schemas and more powerful chips. I mean this shit can build a little computer that will be based in some little shed that will be as powerful as all human computers online. You imply that AI will be thinking as we do and will be using out technologies. Yes, this will be originally based on our technologies but more likely this will come to an idea that it can invent better ones with less resources.
Again. AI won't be Terminator or Matrix tier. You treat this concept as if you are in hollywood. Too simplified.
For instant, you can analyze human-animals relations. I bet gorillas and tigers would have been laughing at humans too if they had a sense of humor, of course. Humans were totally dependent on nature and resources. But humans were superior due to another concept of thinking.
Why would human beat a tiger with fists and teeth if it is able to invent an axe and gun?
The same is here. AI will be based on your technologies just as humans were dependent on nature and some forests resources and relations. But very shortly AI won't be relying on your outdated shit and will be using its own just as humans did.

Do you have any cool ideas for enemies in horror videogames? You can talk about the way they would look and sound, their behavior and environment and/or the overall mechanics behind it.
Essentially try to think about the things that would scare you the most.

Things that don't die, or are incredibly difficult to kill, forcing you to either run away, get clever, or find a different route.
The scariest things I've ever seen in a game are:
>Call of Ctulhu, the hotel chase scene.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76pKlPPn5N4
If you took too long, you were dead. If you missed a door bolt, you were dead, Your only option was panic. These guys make it look easy, believe me, it wasn't.
>FarCry 4, getting mauled by a sneaky tiger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akJ5qatYC60
On more than one occasion, while hunting random animals, I was attacked by a tiger also hunting random animals.
>mfw it saw me hiding in the tall grass and decided I was far tastier than any yak
yo /x/ are you scared of death?
explain why or why not
personally it terrifies me, yet i still smoke cigarettes, the only real reason why is that i have no idea what happens afterwards, and it scares me that i might not be able to ever hug my parents ever again..
death general
pic mildly related, kinda what i feel like death is gonna be like

Im a 22 year old male, reading some of the posts here has me thinking about a past experience that happened to me when i was 7 or 8 years old...
As a child and even to this day I am afraid to sleep in total darkness, my mind simply cannot handle it.
But I recall one night vividly when I was a kid and I will share this story with you all.
One particular night I decided to sleep in total darkness (no idea why), and I remember my mothers room door was visible from where I slept in my bed. Her door was open and I felt a strange sensation, I watched as a tall, dim glow of light in the shape of a man crouch under her doorway and then mine aswell, making its way to the middle of my bedroom where it got down on its knees folded its hands and looked to be praying at the side of my bed. This thing looked to be wearing robes and in my perception of this thing it had a beard/facial hair.
I remember the pure fear, adrenaline rush this gave me. I was mortified, I had a very negeitive response to seeing this. And this wasnt like seeing shit move in the pitch dark due to mind trickery. I was watching this happen in real time and it didnt end until my mother came running in to turn the lights on due to my screaming. It was vivid. But it could it be bs? Was my 7 year old mind capable of rendering what it thought Jesus looked like in my sub conscience and projecting that into my field of view? It felt so real, but so scary at the same time.
I know what I saw but I feel like I cant Believe in it. How can it be true?
Thoughts? Past experiences?

If you were from the future and you want people to believe you, you would simply add the lotto number for that week for a couple states at the end of your communications. Or you could win the lotto yourself several times over in a row and then at a press conference announce how you did it. If someone came from the future and wanted to prove it, they could easily I think.

>Be me
>Be Senior year
>Practiced magick through out all of highschool, and I don't just mean "Necronomicon", wiccan, or Joy of Satan bullshit.
>Used 'The sacred magic of abrahemlin" and the lesser key of solomon and such.
>There is a wiccan coven in my school. Most the kids in it are in it because of the magic.
>Get the email of most of them.
>Email one of the most talented freshman Alastair Crowley stuff, and The Goetia.
>Email the other kid The Book Of Enoch, and other angelic sources.
>Next week at school, they show off their new found material on their laptops.
>They both get kicked out of their coven, but some others follow each one.
>Now we have a black magic sect, and a white magic sect, both getting fed new members by the Wicca Coven.
>Begin phase 2.
>Use black magic of my own to have several of the members from the black magic sect date members from the white magic sect.
>Most of them break up within a week.
>Both sect leaders, who are not the freshmen that I had originally sent the books to, ban inter-sect relationships.
>Later on, I don't know the exact reasons why but I didn't actually cause it, the white sect declares a "magic crusade" to wipe out the wiccan coven.
>Wicca get desecrated by Angelic Magic.
>Almost all of them joined the black magic group.
>Now it's some 30+ black chaos magic sect members vs. some 21+ white sect members.
>A war follows as they both try to ruin each others lives and occasionally cast killing spells at each other.
>Graduate the school, knowing I have just turned this once peaceful place into a war ground of magic, with thought-forms as the soldiers.
>I even heard that they are using Astral Projection nowadays. Some are trying to learn telekinesis
Its demons vs angels. I have started my own Armageddon with out and end in sight.

Isn't black magic any magic that violates the will? I don't understand how you're using the term here.

Thats just what they identified as. I don't really differentiate between "Black" and "White"

Mind blowing documentaries thread. Currently watching Nova - The Mind's Big Bang.
Pic related is Megalania, a 7m long 1300 lb. Monitor lizard that existed 50,000 years ago. Modern humans have existed for 200,000 years. For 75% of humanity's existence, this was a top predator. Aboriginal Australians have a cultural memory that reaches back to the Pleistocene, and have many large lizards in their mythology.
