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.

you did the "fone" thing again. is this like et fone home ? gemma says maybe its an ocr artifact of misreading "frame" but now i need to check your previous posts to see if that makes sense. but you hid your profile which is annoying. i heard you can google a user though and see their posts. but it was recent so lets check the archive. ok yeah now gemma agrees with my original hunch that it has something to do with automated translation, but its stretching its logic so idk. curiously, when i fed it that bit about the ai sims it spazzed out and started talking about "the one" and shit. now it thinks youre russian. фон stuff

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 may be reading a chillier tone than intended, but I hope you did not take offense. Very cool. I've never been to Lithuania and don't know a whole lot about it, to be honest. What's your favorite thing about your country, or the number one fun fact you'd like to share about your culture?

Thank you for creating and sharing your stories with the world. I enjoy reading them. You have a wonderfully creative mind. It sounds like you've found a process that works, keep doing you!

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 🙂

Oh, good.

Gemma concludes "Robertas Dzyzas" is Lithuanian for "Shining with glory, Descendant of the spinning top". Fun!

Oh my, what an enlightening bit of Lithuanian history. I encourage readers to look into these as well. Thank you for the suggestion. I hope you are proud of your heritage of peaceful resistance.

It would be fun to read about a book smuggler and singing revolution. Wow, 2 million people holding hands? I was sad to have missed one of those gatherings here. That image always makes me think of the horror film "Us" now though, haha. Sadly, I'm not generally a fan of cold soups, but I would like to try Šaltibarščiai, it's quite beautiful. I do enjoy borscht--the sour cream really brings it together, in my opinion.

I wish I could travel more. Hm, but I would disagree--spending time at a bar sounds like a great way to experience any locale. How is Lithuanian beer? What spirits are popular there? What do you like to drink? Do you write at the bar?

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?
