I don’t know for sure but I believe the NPC meme originated from /pol/. Some time last month there were threads linking studies about how most people don’t experience an “inner voice”, which is a psychological phenomenon. The study seemed to be enlightening for a lot of posters. The population segment identified by the study was dubbed “NPCs”, because they don’t experience any sort of conflicting internal machinations of the mind. They are set characters

[Anonymous No.11045962]

>>11045945
To be honest, the meme's good but the study seemed like BS. It probably came down to how they worded the questions. I think it didn't even conclude that they never use inner voice, just they didn't report using it as often.

Yeah, the study doesn't really indicate what a lot of people are stating about only some people having an inner voice. But I think "NPC" is kind of synonymous with the term "Normies".

I didn’t actually read the study myself, I just saw that people were talking about it. My knowledge of psychology and doing good research is limited, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find that neurotypical brains are a little more systematic at processing life. It likely got the attention it did because 4chan’s atypical user base needs to differentiate itself from normies with something solid

The final red pill is that God is real, and your nihilistic outlook on life has been engineered via the (((media))) and (((pop-culture))) by those seek to kill your spirit. While you think nihilism is a red pill and that you've broken free form the "shackles of religion that has subjugated humanity for centuries", that's exactly what modern NPC's have been programmed to believe so to ensure that they never find meaning, happiness, and peace in their lives, and are ever reliant on materialism, consumption and substance abuse to attempt to fill the void in their souls.

Those who have found God are not blissfully ignorant; they are blissfully enlightened.

Thats because christianity has holes in the basic principles in what they believe god to be.

Once computing power is a few orders of magnitude more powerful than what exists today, it's practically guaranteed that humanity will try to create simulated words populated by sentient AI characters. The video game industry alone will try to achieve this let alone all the well-funded defense contractors and government labs due to the obvious military applications. Whose to say that we aren't living in one of those worlds now? It would be like the stories inside of stories in that Re:Creators anime.

It's just a modern/technological interpretation of the same magical thinking involved around the promises, answers and reassurance provided by religion. the idea provides an explanation for a creator, a possibility for technologically enabled immortality, and a reassurance that you have a purpose in some kind of data processing within the simulation.

He thought he could actually be Human, something special, rather than something mechanical/fake. This is proven to be incorrect.

That scene with the billboard version of Joi reinforces this overall message of non-uniqueness, when it talks to him in the same way his version of Joi does. Even his love is not special.

But, as the movie goes on, the message turns into this idea that he doesn't need to be Human to allow him to feel that his Existence is meaningful, and for him to be special.

Through his actions, he can become part of something bigger, and find a sense of meaning in his Existence. I wasn't saying that K, specifically, did not find meaning in his Existence, but that, it's not necessary in order to enjoy life.

The simulation program may only need atomic level precision for one solar system or one galaxy and just fake everything else to achieve the required level of fidelity. Maybe the simulation resets once the NPCs discover that they're inside a simulation. There's lots of ways to handle it. Saying it can't be done is like an ant trying to argue about whether travel to the moon is possible. Our civilization 1000 years from now will be capable of godlike feats that we can't even imagine assuming we make it that long. As to whether a K-III civilization will ever exist, that may or may not be true but humanity will definitely try to achieve it. Artificial worlds will be created one way or another. I would never bet against the hordes of tech nerds who want to make anime real even if it requires creating a simulated AI civilization.

>even his love is not special
No, i disagree. His love is special becuase the billboard joi is not his joi and will never be. Thats what he realises at that moment, that his experiences is what gives his existence meaning, not the nature of his birth.

>things don't exist if they aren't being observed by a consciousness to conserve RAM
This is logically absurd. If things don't exist if they're not being observed then our world would have no consistency. You seem to be misinterpreting wave-particle duality in quantum theory. This is the problem with pop-scientists like Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson. They dumb things down to a degree where people are basically just misinformed.

>>11046651
>The simulation program may only need atomic level precision for one solar system or one galaxy and just fake everything else to achieve the required level of fidelity.
So what happens when the simulated civilization reaches a point where it can explore beyond the boundaries set by the simulation? If we find such a boundary, then we can start talking. Anyways, this whole discussion is dumb. NPC philosophy 101. Going to bed now

I may have misspoken, they do exist, just on the "disc"/ether/world of forms and not currently in the "RAM"/world of material..
Consistency is maintained because it cues from the same spot of the disc and overwrites itself when it stops being observed.

All I can say is that high fidelity computer simulated worlds are going to become a reality due to market forces. One day, Overlord will become real. SAO will become real. Isekai Maou will become real. When full dive VR technology becomes mainstream as it eventually will and when computer hardware is fast enough to allow real time human-level AI, you'll be able to enter the world of Overlord as Ainz Ooal Gown and interact with all the AI NPCs. Due to the level of sophistication required those AI NPCs will probably be sentient and will likely consider the players to be the equivalent of gods.
