Would this count as simulated torture? If so, would you care about stopping it, or is it different from computer-simulated torture?
Cute idea!
The computations involved in producing the clipbook count as a torture sim. Flipping through the flipbooks just counts as some sort of twisted torture-porn fetish.
Agreed. Actual computations have to be performed and I think a useful mental-model is of a turing machine and tape and figuring out what in a situation is part of each.
