Would you sign up for an immersive VR under these conditions?


Ask HN: Would you sign up for an immersive VR under these conditions?

* You have no knowledge of the fact that you're in a virtual reality

* The simulation will threaten you with eternal torture if you attempt to remove the headset early

* If you resist the programming, the simulation will psychologically and/or physically torment you such that you'll eventually remain in a perpetual state of suicidal ideation

* If you accept the simulation, you'll be rewarded with pleasure and fulfillment as desired
