Normally I laugh at these as they have some merit, but fuck this one. The right end of the curve isn’t some Jedi understanding of things, it’s tech bros that think AI is alive and they want to enslave us.
Is this sufficiently advanced technology?

I interpreted it as about like, microprocessor design and nanometer scale electronics and shit.

Yes, but also as a programmer, sufficiently complex code bases might as well be magical with all of the interactions between edge cases causing some fucky behavior.

Nah man. I’ve been a programmer and it’s very much doing exactly what you told it to. The issue is you (general you) did not do a good job of telling it what to do. It’s like speaking to a five year old realizing the instructions you give it are going to be literally executed, loopholes and all.

Be sure to leave bags of Kuai Kuai out for the magic elves.

Computers have daemons inside.

Ok, but what with the magnetic flux?
gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 1 hour ago
i think it just means that once you optimize the hardware close to what physics allows, you have to consider all kinds of strange phenomena appearing. like, quantum physics, electrons tunneling around, the internal resistance value of the wire antenna, etc.
it’s not just “logic gates”, by far not.

It would be better with a charge-carrier diffusion diagram, but your computer is also full of very strong magnetic fluxes, changing all the time and interacting with each other.

Otherwise known as “programmers.”
Seriously though we tricked metal into thinking with runes and lightning. That is magic.

well actually silicon is a semi-conductor. not entirely a metal.

Ok, we tricked stone into actually-not-thinking.

Don’t forget about “race conditions”!

Computers have voodoo goblins inside them with the personalities of extremely malevolent genies.

I thought they had angry pixies inside?

No, but the wifi chips do. Even radio engineers who designed them will tell you they just tamed the elves, they don’t really understand how radio engineering works.
