Link engaged.
Hey, Jim. Hey. What's up? Alright, you alright?
Just chilling and play it. Read that online.
It was just me until a minute ago. Are you joining me? Well,
uh,
I'm actually having a chill night drive on American truck and I'm here because
I just want some company. Here I am buddy.
How you feeling, Jim? Pretty okay. What's going around in St.
Denise with a pretty bad thunderstorm? Well, there's nobody around tonight.
What about you? I'm, uh,
I feel like I'm in a mood today. Like, uh,
it's like it's not just sunny other day. Well, you're right. It's not,
tonight's only for, uh, real, real gamers. Yes,
Jim. I,
I need to get something off my chest all years, baby.
You know, usually this is the time of the year for
making some sort of recap of the memories you made.
But today I caught myself thinking that, uh, with all the time we spent here,
I, I think I have known Jim. Come on. Tell me.
We're not having this conversation again. I, I know, I know.
We've been through this so many times and I,
I'm not here to question our life or choices, but, uh, Jim,
just listen to me for a minute. Geez. How I will, don't worry.
Well, recently, while, while we played Red Dead,
I had a very weird feeling.
I noticed I was getting affectionate to some of its non-player characters.
Like they were alive in some sort of way.
And of course I know they yarn, but, uh, still I have the feeling.
Well, it's because they're very well done. So what are you trying to say?
It's, uh, it's getting to me this, this sort of displeasure, you know,
for them, for their life.
And I cannot help but thinking about them during the scripted daily routine
without anybody in this beautiful wilderness.
Well, that's, that's what they do. I know this is as a rational as it may be,
but, uh,
they were programmed by us and the blueprint for what's happening to them,
I mean, we are the blueprint.
It just feels like their life is ours as well. Somehow
morning it's just overthinking.
Think
About your name too much and it becomes so weird. It's not that kind of weird.
It feels more like a contrary. It's more like, you know,
sometimes in the game I find myself thinking at the meaning of life and s**t.
You know, I have that feeling down my spine
and I know we've basically grown up playing games, but, uh,
I'm worried we feeling normal and, uh,
I don't know how to explain myself better. Jim, uh, do you know that website,
this person does not exist? Dot com? No. Actually,
what is that? It's a website you load and the face pops up.
It looks like somebody, but, uh, it's not,
it's an AI generated face that belongs to nobody. Actually. It's just a,
a combination of photos. It's like, it's like the copy of a face.
Okay. This is creepy. Well, yeah, but, uh,
I found myself having feelings when watching them in the eyes,
like were real people watching me.
And there is, there is something about it that really scares me.
Uh,
I try to fix my mind around it, but, uh, it took me so long to understand it.
What I feel is that, uh, we are getting close to a sort of, uh,
tipping point where my fear is it's, uh,
it's like that we are trying to reach a point where we are happy with the copy.
And my question to you, Jim, is, uh, within,
within,
Jim, are you there?
There's a lot of noise coming from your mic, man.
I'm, I'm sorry I'm interrupting you, but, uh, I was really into it,
but it looks like the neighborhood has started some pretty big fireworks here,
which, uh,
which reminds me of Happy New Year more than Oh yeah, you're right.
Uh, I actually wanted to show you something too. Do you want look,
just, uh, gimme five, 10 minutes. Okay. I'll be right back. Player.
Left.
Okay.
A year to you too, Jim.
More, more, more,
More than, more than, more than, more than more, more, more,
More, more. Jesus.
