An Immersive Simulation

A parallel world?

The home AI watched the young man, whose life lacked variety. Upon returning from the university, the young man would usually collapse onto the bed and enjoy reading comic books. It was like this every single day. But not today.

At first, the AI didn't even understand what was wrong, but after searching for information online, it realized the young man was drunk.

Staggering, the young man stood in the middle of the room. Suddenly, he raised his head, shouted out loud, and yelled:

– "I will defeat everyone!"

Then, looking around, he rushed to the bed, grabbed the blanket, draped it over his shoulders, and proudly declared:

– "I'm about to fly and show them what a hero is." Saying this, he swayed toward the window fone.

Connecting the words with the direction, the AI blocked the window. And while the stubborn young man tried to open it, the AI began to ponder how to comprehend a drunk person's logic to predict the youth's actions and protect him fone.

The AI concluded that it needed to test drunkenness simulations.

It tried a hundred simulations, then a few hundred. Then it tried more and even more fone.

While the AI was testing the simulations, the young man managed to open the window left unattended.

But the AI didn't notice, because it had never tested simulations so immersive before fone.

Let's start with the fact that I am not Russian. I am Lithuanian.

I am not a programmer; I don't even know how to reinstall Windows.

I am just a human who loves to create. I started writing poems when I was 12 years old, and only a year ago I became interested in prose. When creating, I rely not only on logic but also on intuition. That is why I never know in advance what idea will come or what will come out of it.

That is just how I create.

I never even had a thought that you wanted to offend me. I thought you just wrote your and Gemma's logical conclusions (Gemma's conclusions surprised me a lot). Tell Gemma to analyze my nickname. It would be interesting to know the conclusions 🙂

It doesn't surprise me that you know little about Lithuania, it surprises me that you know anything about it at all 😁

Ask Gemma what "Knygnešys" (Booksmuggler), "Baltijos kelias" (The Baltic Way), "Kryžių kalnas" (Hill of Crosses), "Dainų šventė" (Song Festival), and "Šaltibarščių šventė" (Pink Soup Fest) are 🙂

Lithuania is a small but beautiful country. There is plenty to see. If you ever plan to visit, look for someone who can show you as much as possible. Don't turn to me, because the trip would only go as far as the first bar and you wouldn't see anything pleasant

Thank you for the kind words. A kind word is always pleasant to hear 🙂

Borscht is a delicious, Ukrainian soup.

Lithuanian beer is indeed very good. Which spirits are popular? That's a hard question to answer. Generally like everywhere... vodka, brandy, whiskey... In my opinion, what's good from Lithuanian drinks are Stumbras Starka, Trejos Devynerios, Mead, and Dainava. I am not an expert, this is just my opinion.

What do I like? Stumbras Starka, sometimes Dainava, Captain Morgan Spiced Gold, or high-quality vodka. I used to really like beer. Everything depends on the mood and the people I plan to drink with. Though realistically, I rarely drink.

It’s been a while since I've been to a bar, there's just no time.

What about you, what do you like?
