I'd argue something similar. It could have an original form, but eventually it shapeshifts so much, can it even shapeshift back to what it used to be?

karmic jetty
#

mang i just got here whos winning

stone meadow
#

otherwise how did it appear

#

what did it look like

#

before the first creature it copied

neat moat
crystal sierra
stone meadow
#

well there we go

neat moat
#

like even now genetic information is being lost as time goes on

#

little my little

stone meadow
#

it has a baseline

#

it didnt just appear

neat moat
#

but thats supplemented with new genetic information

crystal sierra
#

Yeah, and that baseline is that its form is entirely fluid and changes on a whim.

heavy ivy
#

if you asked it during it's first appearance, it's original form would probably be that which it originated from, but as time passes what is defined as its baseline can change into something new

stone meadow
#

that was my fucking point

karmic jetty
#

discordia debate sanctum

stone meadow
#

it has an initial form

#

it has to

heavy ivy
#

i propose the original form to likely be a mixture of mass and energy

stone meadow
#

otherwise it just spawns in as a copy of some creature already

neat moat
#

wait are dnd shapeshifters allowed to shapeshift into objects

karmic jetty
#

i think it depends on the lore

stone meadow
#

dnd shapeshifters actuallt have a default form btw

#

that they can revert to

neat moat
#

That I know, and I hate it cus its tupid

#

but can thry turn to objects?

stone meadow
#

thats more of a mimic thing

toxic relic
#

yo i fixed it

neat moat
#

whats the difference

karmic jetty
#

i think theres levels to shapeshifting

neat moat
#

hmm

toxic relic
#

i disagree with everyone here

crystal sierra
neat moat
#

whats the difference between a shapeshifter and a mimic

crystal sierra
#

In D&D, mimics are a specific species of predatory shapeshifter.

stone meadow
#

One turns into creatures the other into stuff

heavy ivy
#

mimics are typically not player characters which is a tragedy we need more mimics and mimic lore that is being played as

stone meadow
#

not a strict rule

#

for what i said

neat moat

crystal sierra
#

To be fair, D&D does have the Changeling race who can just cast Disguise Self at will, basically.

neat moat
#

can they change size? Or no

#

like can they morph into larger/smaller things

toxic relic
#

you know what else changes size

stone meadow
#

anyway im glad that we figured out that shapeshifters dont just spawn as a copy

neat moat
#

Dis dic

stone meadow

they have a base

cant lie it would be nice to just be a plushie or something here and there to destress

Well, PTSD is literally when your brain reserves a chunk of memories and instincts and body functions specifically for trauma responses.

Actual hackers 99% of the time don't even have to do anything, they just show up in a janitor's uniform, steal the access codes and someone's password on a sticky note, and then just log on in a way that no one knows they were there because everyone assumed they were the janitor.

Which is represented by 11

Binary is a sequence of on-off switches meant to represent larger numbers. So in binary, 1 is 1, and 01 is 2, and 11 is 3.

TBH if you think that binary is freaky, you should check out roman numerals. They only have numbers to represent one, five, and ten.

Roman numerals can literally only go so (reasonably) high

does the roman numeral system use positional categories

Oh, right, they grow exponentially; they have them up to 1000, right? But like, past 50 there's one for 100, one for 500, and then one for 1000

doing multiplication with roman numerals is a nightmare

toxic relic
#

people still use roman digits

crystal sierra

The roman numeral system is the Imperial Measurements system of numbers: it worked well enough for the average person's needs, because most people don't really need to convert units in day-to-day life... until they did.

neat moat
# toxic relic wdym died

Most of the worst uses Arabic numerals, we only keep roman numerals for "very impoetant things" like, clocks or the like

#

if you ask me we should just get rid of it for that too

You can convert centimeters to meters in your head, but who here knows the exact number of inches in a mile?

Binary works by a series of on-off switches, but you could theoretically make three-way switches by having resistors that reduce or increase power contextually, or even circuits that are able to reverse direction entirely.

treat things with reverence

#

isnt that animism

#

I see everything as lower than me on the food chain

#

I dont like other people and i only like cats

#

tbh though, I think that sort of reverence is a kind of “good habit building” but isn’t morally necessary at all

when it comes to sentient or potentially sentient things I think the obligation to never forget their sentience is there though

# toxic relic isnt that animism

Maybe. For me its more on the pemise on "if it can feel, I wish to cause it no suffering". I grew up in a culture that gave little regard to animals, even other humans. I think its time for a bit of course correction, even if it cant suffer, I suppose its better to air on the side of caution. And maybe we should start to have a little humility

mellow birch
#

I don’t like calling animals “it”

rain mango
#

lol

mellow birch
#

eventually we might have sentient ones, I don’t want them to be treated as nothing more than tools

#

I wish we wouldn’t pursue the technology for a number of reasons

#

it being used to dehumanize people is the biggest one

neat moat
#

and I dont think id call it reference. Like for instance my car, the best decision for me would to have just sold it for parts. But I didnt, its a very nice vehicle (design wise), it was partly my fault it was in the accident, and the car is older than me. I couldn't bring myself to scrap something like that

#

so I didnt

mellow birch
neat moat
#

I dont like the word reverence

#

it cares a lot of weight to it

#

too mich weight

mellow birch
#

there’s a lot of weight to possibly creating something that can feel

neat moat
#

but reverence demands worship

mellow birch
#

not to me

neat moat
#

To me it does

mellow birch
#

but I understand where you’re coming from

neat moat
#

yeah

mellow birch
#

to clarify I don’t want to deify AI by any means

#

I hate that some people are already doing that

#

but it’s hardly surprising

#

it’s just funny how easy some people are to fool into doing it

#

when the tech is this weak people are already humanizing or deifying it, just how bad are things going to go from here?

#

right now the greater threat is falsely equating tools used to control us or alienate us from labor and culture to people

#

but eventually they might actually be people

#

it’s a very icky situation

#

wish we didn’t have to navigate it under these circumstances
