I looked at the pic before reading anything about it and I thought: What a piece of "modern art" bullshit. Then I read the description and the first post here and was like y u no make sense.

A story by David Langford • Other writing

right at the top of the link on the OP.


I know, right? I am in utter disbelief at the number of people posting as if this was even meant to be a prank. -_-

It's a story. A total "what if?" scenario. I mean, aside from the text right at the top of the "article" saying that it's a story, there's this little tidbit:

9. How can I get permission to display images on my website?

This is a news.announce.newusers question, but keeps cropping up here. In brief: you can't, without a rarely granted government licence. Using anything other than plain ASCII/ANSI text on websites or in e-mail is a guaranteed way of terminating your net account. We're all nostalgic about the old, colourful web, and about television, but today's risks are simply too great.


And this is clearly something that has happened! Right!? /facepalm

I'm drunk, does it still affect me, the question bears thought. Will I remember it as it says one must recall it several days later to take effect. Hmm. I will look at it some more, my ear hurts, is it related? Hmm.

Pretty sure i've comprehended worse.

There are images that will literally break ppl but not really shut em down imo. That would take more than just visual input.

It might be possible. Who knows?

For example, you can't normally crash notepad by typing various phrases into it, or strings of characters. But is there a possibility that if you put in a long and complicated enough string of phrases into notepad in the right order and timing, you could manipulate the transistors in your CPU or some other part of your computer that process this signal to violate their engineered safety factors and crash?

Any such solution to this problem would be retardedly complicated, however, and far outside of the grasp of our current science/knowledge.

anyone that knows anything about the brain does. It's not possible, period. The human brains have so many saftey devices for not frying including shutting down and rebooting. No image can crash your brain no matter what it does. The thing you are suggesting is the same as it "Might be possible" to move straight through a wall. Whenever you touch a wall some cells will leave your body they will even pass a bit into the wall because of the molecules structure. Now imagine one cell having the enormous luck of fitting into holes the entire way to get out the other side, do that times a couple of billion and you have yourself a man that just went through a wall.

It's flawed logic, the brain isn't a computer that is going to short curcuit because of a few weird commands, to break a brain you need to abuse it constantly enough for it to lock down and not boot up again. A brain isn't a computer it's just a likness becuase they share some similarities, your brain can't delete system 32 on its own.


I will even add to your comment as a Software Engineer. You can't crash notepad by typing a complex or "insane" string of symbols. The worst that could happen would be a out of space exception due to having a file bigger than your HD space =/ (Which could be related to long term torture for a human being I guess). There is also nothing binding the CPU and notepad directly. Notepad is not a compiler and it doesn't care of the input you give it, it doesn't analyze it and don't give a fuck about any timing you can think of.

So yeah, you won't crash your CPU intentionality with notepad and you will never crash your brain due to an unmanaged throw exception. The brain has a fuckton of try/catch clauses.....

5. How does a basilisk operate?

The short answer is: we mustn't say. Detailed information is classified beyond Top Secret.

The longer answer is based on a popular-science article by Berryman (New Scientist, 2001), which outlines his thinking. He imagined the human mind as a formal, deterministic computational system -- a system that, as predicted by a variant of Gödel's Theorem in mathematics, can be crashed by thoughts which the mind is physically or logically incapable of thinking. The Logical Imaging Technique presents such a thought in purely visual form as a basilisk image which our optic nerves can't help but accept. The result is disastrous, like a software stealth-virus smuggled into the brain.


A friend of mine sent me a picture over msn which is what this article is describing

here's the image in the spoiler if anyone wants to take a gander at it

The image has little relevance to the topic. It's from a creepy thread in 4chan.

I simply assumed my brain superior to a simple image.
The thought of an image actually able to damage the brain is so outlandish, I never even considered it was meant that way.
If you could kill people with imagery, it for sure would have turned up a whole lot more and probably on 4chan before it shows up here.
