Thanks for the upload I enjoy spending time on a Sunday listening to these after a roast dinner

[@VeggiesOutFront]

Every 4 days? I need more! Thank you for the posts

[@musickalxf]

Just what I was looking for. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@yuleeyahoo]

Thanks! 🙂

You bet!

Great, fun story. Loved the reading with that little bit of irony. Thanks much :) 👽🤔🤩🌷🌱🌷🌱🌷🌱🌷🌱

Usually I don’t overthink these stories but the potential analogy with Ai technology is uncanny.

[@NewThinkable]

Agreed. Thanks for listening!

[@thewordbtrue2461]

True, indeed true. The outcome is in question on AI

[@ajobdunwell2585]

Still not crediting the librivox readers, huh? I hope you at least donate a little bit of what you make off volunteers back towards the project they volunteer for.

[@MorlokKurak]

👍 But, will anyone learn from this story? Please continue the wonderful stories.😎

[@for.tax.reasons]

You're back! Thank you for sharing these wonderful stories

[@Seven-Planets-Sci-Fi-Tuber]

That was great ! It's this kind of stories that put the Gold in Golden Age, not taken seriously back and now eerily prophetic. Edmond Hamilton wrote early Space Opera like The Starkings. Also the novel, City At World's End, and many short stories. Thank you, Newth!🪐

I can smell the musty, yellowed pages.

This short story is allegorical to your channel.. You scan all the cool info from these old magazines and then using electronics , such as my laptop, the information is transfered to my brain.

Now that is scary. Dogman has nothing on these kids.

The reboot of the outer limits did a variation of this story called Stream of Consciousness about society in the future where everyone has a chip that connects us to a huge network. If a self-aware virus does not intervene and mess things up I think something like this will happen but I hope with beneficial results. Ray Kurzweil says the Singularity is near. I am 70 and might see it in its infancy. My grandchildren will live it.

[@NewThinkable]

Is it just me, or does this remind you of a certain scene in The Matrix? 🥋

[@snailcorepistolwhippits9488]

Glad you are posting again. I love this channel. ❤

I know kung fu.

We miss you

I wonder if this is where they got the idea for "Joe 90". They take brain scans of people and put them into the brain of this little boy so he can perform complex missions. It's a puppet / supermarionation show made by the same guy that did Thunderbirds

[@johnnybgoode7983]

What a maroon the guy in the story is! Lol

[@Michelle-Eden]

ma·roon adjective Of a brownish-crimson color. You must have meant moron. I know it's just a simple spelling mistake, but you're still a maroon.

[@johnnybgoode7983]

@@Michelle-Eden I meant it as in bugs bunny's "what a maroon!" Lol

[@michaelmoser4537]

You must read or listen to Isaac Asimov's "Profession" after this one!

[@sidartagautama9440]

Ok
