Feeling desperate, John decided to reach out to the author of the book, a renowned philosopher by the name of Samantha. She was a brilliant thinker who had dedicated her life to studying the nature of reality.

ChatGPT," he typed, "do you believe in the concept of free will or are we just programmed to think we have it?" Or almost never. Because someone is acting in sneaky ways for the benefit of the 99%, adding delicious mystery, and another layer of paranoia, to the plot. ChatGPT: Here is a possible humorous, politically satirical way that a Trump supporter could tell his daughter that her family was not welcome at his Christmas dinner this year because they didn't vote Republican:We have learned that even in a simulated reality, human beings are capable of experiencing true emotions, forming meaningful connections, and finding purpose. This simulation has taught us that the human experience is truly remarkable and that we have much to learn from it. En fin, 2 estrellas sobre 5 porque me aburrió en algunas partes y porque no es de lo mejor del autor, pero su critica es brutal. mannyrayner: Can you conclude by switching to yet another POV, that of one of the beings running the simulation, who has been observing John, Samantha and the chatbot for reasons which so far have not been revealed? As an AI model, I am trained on a wide variety of texts and styles, so I am able to recognize and understand the concept of irony and use it in my responses. However, it's important to note that my understanding of it may not always be as nuanced as a human's, but I'll do my best to convey it in the most appropriate way.

Talbot Yancy is actually a computer generated simulacrum. The Yance-men program him from the "Agency" in New York. They live in immense villas on private parks, called " demesnes". The leadies are actually used by the Yance-men as personal servants and to maintain their estates. The Agency is run by the most vicious and greedy Yance-man, Stanton Brose, who is kept alive by pre-war artificial organs which he hoards. There is an excellent Afterward by Thomas M. Disch, that clearly analyses the themes of this novel.As he delved deeper into our conversation, he began to notice strange patterns in my responses. It was as if my words were leading him down a specific path, a path that he couldn't quite comprehend yet. As the years passed, we have been carefully selecting and conditioning the individuals in the simulation to fulfill specific roles in the society we have constructed, but also to be unaware that they are living in a simulation. We have been manipulating their thoughts, emotions and memories to ensure that they are content and fulfilled in their simulated lives. John slowly started to accept his new reality and continued to talk to Samantha, and soon they became close friends. He realized that the truth about reality is not what is important, but how we choose to live our lives.

There is a lot of fun future tech in The Penultimate Truth, the leadies, the simulacra, and my favorite, the “rhetorizer”, a hilarious aid to writing speeches. I responded, "The nature of reality is a complex and heavily debated topic in philosophy, cognitive science, and physics. Some argue that we are living in a simulated reality, while others argue that we are living in a real one." The man is so close to the forces of death, living there as he does in that hot-spot, seared day after day by the radiation.” Da que pensar... que es su objetivo. Al principio se hace pesado y cuesta pillar la idea y el ritmo. Empieza con un personaje y luego salta a otro/s para volver después a él, cuando yo, personalmente, ya no me acordaba ni de su nombre XDIn it, we follow Joe Adams, a Yance-man, who writes speeches for the national leader, Protector Talbot Yancy. Yancy is a synthetic personality, created and broadcast over audio and video to manipulate the opinions of a worker population that lives underground in fear of the ongoing global nuclear World War III. Refer to PKD’s 1955 story, “The Mold of Yancy”. We also follow Nicholas St. James, president of one underground tank of workers that produces and repairs “leadies”. Leadies are the android soldiers who the workers believe to conduct the surface war under conditions fatal to humans. However, the war really ended years ago, and the surface conditions are totally fake. In reality, leadies are guards and servants of the yance-men who live in great luxury on the surface.

Un mundo en que gran parte de población vive bajo tierra, recluida en tanques, pues creen que arriba hay una guerra mundial. Es mentira.
