Dune: the very concept of a sentient machine became abhorrent to humanity and they were obliterated by the Butlerian Jihad.
the very concept of a sentient machine
Of a thinking machine, period. Doesn’t need sentience. It’s why they use mentats/guild navigators instead of calculators and databases.
They hated thinking machines so much they turned humans into machines that… think… for them… guys, I may have learned a new thing about Dune!
You are correct, I lifted that directly from the dune wiki.
Sometimes I genuinely forget what is dune and what is warhammer
In this regard they have a similar backstory.
Ok, I have to try lancer now.

I’m on Picard’s side with this one. We shouldn’t be exploiting LLMs for their labour. We should be locking them up for child abuse.
What is lancer rpg, and what do i play it on?
I got you. They have their own vtt called compcon. https://massifpress.com/lancer
Very cool, thank you.
Unfortunately i cant game on that, no one around to. But good to know!
Shadowrun: That thing that took the renraku arc and then destroyed the matrix as we knew it? Well… there is a golden dragon owning one of the most powerful megacorps of this world. Pick your poison, I guess.
I love Shadowrun. Sure, it’s still a grim dark dystopia where megacorps and their puppet states are grinding mankind into paste with senseless war, murder, destruction and debauchery, rogue AIs are devastating us while tech industries keep us pacified with digital drugs and bigotry is keeping us weak and divided, but at least there’s actual elves and dragons and stuff.
Unless it’s smart enough to take over, in which case I welcome our benevolent and merciful machine overlord.
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
If I remember correctly, they were fine with it in Battlestar Galactica…
Adama was not.
Noone was, they were the remnants of a war against sentient robots.
Star Wars - if it is not organic it needs a restraining bolt.
