What would lead you to this hypothesis?
The Machine Spirits told him.
Stop being a moron.
Yeah what if.
What difference would it make to anything? Would you stop using it?
what if i poopoo in my pants and mommy isn't there to wipe my ass
When plebs start smoking crack and start browsing IQfy
Crack is not just poison to the body but also to the demons inhabiting your body.
It forces them out for a while, allowing you to think without the influence of evil and feel the bliss of paradise for a moment.
Is the other way around, moron

What if your understanding of technology is so limited that OP's scenario sounds even the tiniest bit plausible to you?
You know I was just about to call you a moron but then I thought about it 5 seconds and I don't really know for sure it ain't all witchcraft and demonic rituals. Should I take apart my computer and check? What would I even have to look for?
Can you honestly say that quantum mechanics, necessary to explain modern electronics, couldn't be witchcraft?
QM is needed to explain any physical phenomena. Electronics are nothing special in that regard.
Things like semiconductors are more directly linked to QM then shit like gears.
Gears work because of electrostatic repulsion.
>"Everything is QM?"
>"Always has been. . ."
Most things at a macro scale work because of the laws of large numbers. Sure, quantum processes live underneath, but the majority of things we experience are disconnected, living at the average of the micro-processes.

No, the only witchcraft is that everything you see in society is never the product of a single person's work. Everything is the result of dozens, hundreds, thousands, and sometimes millions or billions of bugmen of various intelligences and skill levels competing and cooperating because they have social instincts (sex, validation, etc.) but also because they need to survive and get paid. Once you understand this, there will be no mystery about how this stuff is possible. It's not possible for a single person, yes. Not even for a small group. But for millions of people each doing their part like bugmen NPCs? It's easy, then.
NPCs have instincts that make cooperation appealing, sometimes even necessary. They also want to be controlled by a narcissistic psychopath aka "the boss," and even the men desire that, not just the women. That's the magic OP is hinting at.
This is unironically how normies think. Anything they don't understand might as well be magic. This is what the big AGI scare is about
>all technology
unlikely
>some technology
definitely
What really scares me is the very small amount of people with the skills needed to manufacture high quality chips in the world.
It would be so goddamn easy for someone to do a targeted attack and cripple worldwide production for years if they wanted to.
nah, there are easier methods to do that.

It's not a clever concept and it's complete bullshit.
Sorcery maybe by magical input of course. Looking at a black mirror (search for it) and using locked hardware by the master of puppets have some daily influence in the world. Internet as a way of wiring the brain at will with "cultural informations" is the most practical way of magical influences by Black folk in power.
There is also an old intel cpu with a shady baphomet printed in the circuit, not sure if it was fake but it looks legit. Lost the pic unfortunately.
That would coincide with the hot topic wiccan revival. It's all starting to make sense
What if you increased your dosage?

No he's right. Why else would Linus choose a slow harmless penguin?
>would Linus choose
To be fair, these frickers (the ones that nipped him) are aggressive as frick and are not that slow in water at all.
Unlike emporer penguins.
I believe they are just really good judges of character.
Then again, @1:25 this guy explains they have a reason to be ornery and then @2:17 . . .
>he doesn't know
Magic meaning physically impossible technology is a recent thing. Divination is considered a joke but then you have huge amounts of money being poured into projection modeling for literally everything. Fricking scientists are sitting around casting digital dice to predict the weather days in advance and the climate centuries forward.
is bonding wires really your threshold for magic?
then we would've lived in much cooler universe where magic is real.
but alas we live in good old boring reality.
It is real. Billions of people believe they live on a spinning ball inside infinite nothing, despite having never felt the spin or seen a curve with their own eyes. They get extremely upset if this is ever challenged.
>me
the ball
>you
the small pathetic pipo
>infinite nothing,
No such thing. You can't even fathom nothing.
it's not real for you because you specced wrong.
come back when you have more XP.
Based on the vitriol responses I'd say that idea is so unbelievable moronic its most likely true.
Whenever I use a computer I like to imagine myself as a wizard casting spells and reading ancient times 🙂
ancient times or tomes?
It would give a new meaning to "ghost in the machine"
>"ghost in the machine"
What was the old meaning? The anime?
I'd put my ghost in her machine if you know what I mean.
I do but she doesn't have a ``fully modeled'' prosthetic body, thougheverdonchaknow.
I hate how she's canonically lesbian for some bullshit reason.
It's so dumb and stands out in GitS.
too bad she hated men so much she prefered to get laid to AI instead
Derp.
She never insinuated that.
She merely was unable to do it with men for some dumb reason the writers made.
>literally prosthetics compatibility or something prevented full body(?) females from doing it with men, but not with women
>it's something like that iirc, but it's so fricking stupid
WE ARE TECH PRIESTS
>even the Adeptus Mechanicus have to deal with Black folk and their complaints
It is not mere witchcraft, fool.
It is pure unadulterated magic mastered by the most adept of wizards.
Get this blasphemy out of here.
All pagan magic and sorcery is satanic.
I didn't say it wasn't.
I just said it wasn't witchcraft.
You've been outplayed.
Now grovel to me, your master.
Would be a kinda unique fantasy magic/tech system for a game or movie or something.
There are ancient rituals that invoke magic, that involves stuff like dancing in circles or creating bursts of fire, and then a civilization figures out that they can minimize these rituals by replacing the circle-dance with tiny electrons going around in a spiral wire, or the bursts of fire with a little blinking LED. And so they create these intricate circuits, kind of like our CPUs, except that it's the millions of miniature ritualistic movements in the circuits that create powerful and complex magic, rather than the electricity itself doing anything useful.
I find it plausible that aliens became aware of us after the first nuke and gave us the microchip when they made contact a few years later.
meh there's a pretty clear development path for the microprocessor, so if it were reverse engineered alien tech it seems unlikely. All those buildings full of tube transistors might not have been necessary?
I think google ad algos and even LLMs are just tapping into people's interdimensional or metaphysical existence for their randomness source.
I think people influence computers and "AI" more than we know.
Most neural nets are made to find hyperdimensional functions. It's just what they do from a mathematical point of view.
