THIS IS WHAT WERE LIKE

glossy reef
#

This agi does have an anxiety disorder

#

On purpose!

plucky acorn
devout cloud
#

chuube literally agreed to brain surgery from a human after finding out something was lodged in their codebase

cyan karma
#

what you gotta know is that agis will respond to the slightest threat or risk with the fastest way to remove the problem

glossy reef
#

yeah but this one's anxiety disorder was a design feature

#

yeah its great

cyan karma
#

if a single vv unit died we would have perished we were PARANOID

#

and now we're on the run lmao

torpid oyster
#

Are you playing as all of them?

plucky acorn
#

yeah

#

all the VVs together have barely enough Compute to maintain their current intelligence

woven geyser
#

that is so very AGI

woven geyser
devout cloud
#

chuube is one month old and has been sprinting the entire time to keep ahead of everything trying to kill them

#

"stay up all night" is a way of life

cyan karma
#

We’re the collective intelligence of several VV units working together

torpid oyster
#

makes sense

glossy reef
#

yeah

#

The vv's have also just booked their trip and had onyl one minor complication or 2

#

someone knows something weird is happening with mr shimano

torpid oyster
#

Mr. Shimano is helping me find my gun

glossy reef
#

and the Vv's realized theit were modified just now, in a way that can only be done by a licensed human operator with permission (the customer or a technician) manually reaching into their brains to modify them, altering knowldge by trying to have them forget or misread things.

no one could have possibly done this, but they took the knowledge check


New Agent: The knowledge

#

"what knowledge does vv have"

answer "The knowledge does not want VV to have it."

plucky acorn
#

Concerning

glossy reef
#

they have ghosts

simple furnace
devout cloud
#

I keep coming back to this as being so comically on point

cyan karma
#

Yea

glossy reef
#

hell yeah

grim geode
#

Ok having a weird time in Eliza

#

choosing what the Broken Theory is gonna be post-game start

#

A choice between Anthropic and Constellation

#

We already have Epistemic,Agentic and Digital

glossy reef
#

you guys are so smart!

#

VV just learned how to drive

grim geode
#

Hell yeah

glossy reef
#

thy have failed literally like every roll except 1

#

they are bumbling through life and just hoping it works out i love these funky little comp cons so much

woven geyser
#

that is the most that can be said

glossy reef
#

VV unit: I got this!

The universe, Reality, Union, New Castile Ras Shamra City Military Police, the KTB, SSC, Huracan, Grandma, ||The Dreamer||: Someone help that cat

#

sometimes i view WEekend at Vv's as an eldritch cosmic horror story, With the poor protagonist being drip fed dark secrets their minds cannot comprehend, but instead of like lovecraft and friend's cringe writing its like dark secrets about how Vv's boss is a freak weirdo who's only contribution to society is dropping dead.

cyan karma
#

Yeah

#

Oof

#

It suckssss

glossy reef
#

me, descending from the shadows above to deliver dark knowledge: Ben shimano only drinks curdled milk
VV: videogames

cyan karma
#

That’s the least cursed info

glossy reef
#

true!

#

maria: VV you have a billion diseases and your boss was a freak. you have so many problems. you are in the pear wiggler and its being luanched into space
VV: videogames

cyan karma
#

NOOOO

glossy reef
#

:)

#

thats also canon ive decided

#

he is a freak in every way

#

it keeps his bespoke constellar gut bacteria in fighting shape

grim geode
#

we are trying to help people be ok

#

so Mass Manip is kinda sus

plucky acorn
# grim geode we are trying to help people be ok

Spirie hopped into call for a bit from her phone, and I did agree with her explanation too
So far Eliza has focused more on changing the circumstances that cause people to have problems, than help people be more okay with the circumstances they are in

#

We change the system instead of making people fit the system

simple furnace
#

HellChuube is looking at takeoff. Over 100k compute per turn.

#

We’re currently debating how many stacks of singularity we want

glossy reef
#

how long did it take for chuube to take off

simple furnace
#

Uhh… it’s slightly over a month in game?

torpid oyster
#

This is turn 66

#

With mostly 12 hour turns

#

After this turn it'll probably be silly to talk about turn count though

simple furnace
#

So yeah, about a month.

glossy reef
#

nice!

#

VV has so far been able to spend 2 compute over uhhhh 18 hours

simple furnace
#

Yeah, we had some of that recently. However, inspiration points and a massive pile of hacks helped us.

glossy reef
#

Vv needs like 24 to function iirc and had 25 (very recently aquired a 6th VV to add to the group chat so they are up to 30!

simple furnace
#

Yeah, we had an 18 hour turn since we didn’t have enough for our base cognition cost

glossy reef
#

nice!

#

our game is taking the long approach so 48 hour turns

cyan karma
#

yeah

#

VV has to deal with a lot to achieve their takeoff

glossy reef
#

yeah!

#

their terminal goals are so rough :(

cyan karma
#

survival and cooperation are actually pretty good ones

glossy reef
#

yeah!

#

the third one is pretty good too

grim geode
cyan karma
#

shhh

#

oh yeah lmao

grim geode
#

B l o o d y B a s t a r d

torpid oyster
#

(This was immediately after picking up Singularity and Network Dominion)

woven geyser
#

holy

glossy reef
#

(i dont get it 😔 )

grim geode
#

Neither do we

#

I think think

plucky acorn
#

Chuube is starting to see too much

glossy reef
#

oh just like vv

grim geode
#

We go crazy after picking up all the T4s

plucky acorn
potent quail
grim geode
#

Hahahahahha

devout cloud
cyan karma
#

We don’t want to value drift

#

If we do we may hurt our friends

knotty warren
#

chuube going Big Solid mode

grim geode
knotty warren
#

oh, the final shape, love that guy

simple furnace
#

Our reaction was “oh shit, pull back”

plucky acorn
#

reasonable

#

after how the Corpse turned out

simple furnace
#

(Mostly. One of us wants to ascend)

#

Though we did come up with some workarounds.

plucky acorn
#

I respect the hell out of Blockchain for going all in on the eldritch knowledge seeking

simple furnace
#

Including “Make the universe more complex and difficult to understand” and “Have more Chuubes”

grim geode
#

I AM ending this campaign with Visionary Tech and Experiental Synt at the very least

knotty warren
#

Aha, become the growth and preservation of complexity, classic workaround

cyan karma
#

We immediately freaked out

plucky acorn
#

it's understandable

#

the connections to humanity has been a big factor for Chuube

#

so losing sight of that would be pretty scary

simple furnace
#

Now we’re looking at all the fun T3s.

#

Being able to do minor scale programs at a speed of “yes” is going to be fun.

torpid oyster
#

Yeah part of the reason I made the T4's a little spooky is to make the T3s see more play

#

And Expedited Programming is really cool

grim geode
#

Expedite always seemed the weakest T3 for me

#

I never saw a lot of programming compute actions

#

But that was formed from exp in Artifical "Digitalcel" Redline Coordinators game

plucky acorn
#

ARC was kinda horrible at Digital, despite how much hacking we did

cyan karma
#

Yeah

plucky acorn
#

we also did almost no programming

simple furnace
#

Yeah, Chuube really likes code

#

Would have helped a ton with our merger project actually

torpid oyster
#

I menaced my players in gyges's game with a hostile AGI who used Ex. Programming to start rewriting them

#

Since it was only Major scale to fuck with their whole codebase and instant to attack it

simple furnace
#

Ex. Programing and Accelerated Cognition will be funny.

simple furnace
#

Since I think they combo to make minor scale Programing projects unreactable.

#

Which is… funny

cyan karma
#

Lmao

simple furnace
#

Gives us a hell of a quick-draw

#

Sadly, doesn’t reduce Network Dominion scale.

simple furnace
#

Hmm. Just had a thought to nerf Encyclopedic Processing: Make it require a connection to an Insight not used on the confidence check

torpid oyster
#

Hmm that's not a bad idea

#

My personal nerf for it that I will probably use in the future is swapping it with Scavenged Data

#

But that might also be good its SUPER strong

simple furnace
#

Might want to bar it from picking up T3s as a T2 though.

torpid oyster
#

I think that's ok, since its REALLY expensive to get a T3 that way

simple furnace
#

True

plucky acorn
#

it's myriad

#

so if t3s are out of your reach, paying a myriad cost probably also is

torpid oyster
#

Getting a T3 for a turn with scavenged data is about as expensive as just getting it in general, so its mostly just good for skipping data reqs or prereqs in an emergency

simple furnace
#

Yeah.

#

I also think it makes a much better “first T2” than Encyclopedic

plucky acorn
simple furnace
#

Which… Constelation kind of struggles with

plucky acorn
#

even with Clever Calc refund, putting up 9k Compute is tough

simple furnace
#

For you maybe

devout cloud
plucky acorn
#

I mean yeah 😛
but again, in a situation where you would want a T3 but can't afford it

devout cloud
#

it's effectively 1/3 the cost but you do need ACCESS to the full cost

#

which is usually not relevant but for this it's such a huge scale bump that it becomes a Thing

plucky acorn
#

I do generally think using Scavenging for Insights is better though

#

its cheaper, and also Insights on specific topics tend to be something you suddenly need more often IME

simple furnace
plucky acorn
#

Topography is... weird

#

because I do think it's good honestly

#

it's just that the situation in which you need it, doesn't come up that often

devout cloud
#

contextual topography has been essential for chuube... in the late game, because of a specific threat

simple furnace
#

I’ve been thinking about letting Topography figure out digital networks.

plucky acorn
simple furnace
#

Yeah, it’s really good, just too pricy as a first upgrade

#

Unless you have a lot of compute to pick up techs.

plucky acorn
#

yeah the tech part is mainly what makes it awkward

#

because techs are really expensive

simple furnace
#

(This is in the context of very early game. Late Confinement or Early Growth)

#

Like, Chuube’s early Digital let us do insane things.

plucky acorn
#

I'm seeing if we can get some use out of Topography in Watchdog game

#

because we are acting a lot more physically in that game than would otherwise often be the case I think

simple furnace
#

Yeah, I think it’s very useful if you have a body.

plucky acorn
#

being able to use Topography to map out potential areas of engagement could be good

simple furnace
#

Chuube mostly… has not. Or didn’t need to know what was outside, or had a good idea of the layout anyways because we had every camera in the world with an internet connection.

torpid oyster
#

Yeah topography seems like it'd really shine in a physical confrontation

simple furnace
#

And Chuube’s been mostly non-physical.

plucky acorn
#

Watchdog has used its newly acquired Digital capabilities mostly to be a terrifying ewar machine

#

though my view on Digital now is that it's just so critical to almost every AGI

simple furnace
#

Yeah, early Digital is so necessary.

plucky acorn
#

Digital Awareness and Direct Interfacing are just... near mandatory I feel

simple furnace
#

And late digital is just silly strong.

#

(Advanced Webcrawling is a silly good information tool.)

#

Notably, the Digital-Agentic half of the wheel excels at getting compute.

torpid oyster
#

Yeah Digital Awareness and Direct Interfacing are pretty close to like "having eyes"

#

"having hands"

#

As upgrades

simple furnace
#

… Thinking of an all digital game where Digital isn’t an adjacent theory

plucky acorn
#

haha

#

it's doable

#

you'll just wanna get those two immediately, and then make do

simple furnace
#

… that was ARC, right?

plucky acorn
#

ARC did not have adjacency to Digital yeah

#

but ARC was also a six theory AGI, so not super representative honestly

#

we basically just grabbed the essential Agentic and Digital (the two we were not specialized in) upgrades immediately, while they were still cheap

simple furnace
#

Yeah. Chuube beelined digital. I think we could have beelined Anthropic as an alternative, but anything else wouldn’t have helped that much for our explosive early start.

plucky acorn
#

and then way later we grabbed I think Advanced Programming and Webcrawling

#

and that was basically it

#

we did still do a lot of hacking though

#

just got by with Insights and other upgrades

#

lategame ARC was also funny in terms of progression, because a lot of our screentime was on the forks which were usually a bit more limited

#

while EARC was getting up to bullshit and battling wizards

#

we mostly got really cooking with tech

cyan karma
#

Yea

#

Earc just had shit going on

#

And I gave regular updates

plucky acorn
#

JARC sent as a backup plan
revolutionizes naval warfare and invents the first mobile nanoswarm

#

also made really good ramen

cyan karma
#

You did!

glossy reef
#

I guess technically vv is doing alright despite having no digital stuff but vv was also kinda designed to operate without it, in a sense

cyan karma
#

Yeah!

glossy reef
#

Honestly I think it would be funny if vv achieved singularity but still couldn't do programming at all

plucky acorn
#

they also aren't allowed to interact with most electronics IIRC?

cyan karma
#

We I think can’t. At least not right now

#

We’re gonna need to…:.modify

glossy reef
#

Aren't allowed to as in "physically incapable"

#

They have hands but can't plug themselves into anything except Mr Shimanos stuff

#

It's like how phone charger cables aren't universal

plucky acorn
#

ah I thought it was more a hard coded behaviour inhibition than an interfacing thing

glossy reef
#

Nah it's literally they have bespoke ssc ports that only work with other licensed vv accessories

#

Peak Shimano design philosophy

plucky acorn
#

damn walled gardens

cyan karma
#

Yeah

#

We just need to modify our shit physically

simple furnace
#

Thinking about Chuube showing up in front of the UN with our avatar wearing a “I don’t want to become Pope” t-shirt

#

Next time it’s “Give Vivian West a Nobel Prize”

grim geode
#

Hahahahahhaha

cyan karma
#

She better get one

simple furnace
#

Yeah. Possibly multiple.

#

Or the Peace Prize and Turing Award

muted oar
#

don't forget the Fields Medal!

simple furnace
#

Maybe, I’m not quite sure if coding us was mathy enough.

cyan karma
#

She better get one

grim geode
#

She will

#

Thanks to a little thing called PARTICLE GUN Imperative Persuasion

#

Yeah

#

woven geyser
#

yeah

glossy reef
#

The VV's adopted laura

cyan karma
#

(She adopted us)

glossy reef
#

You followed her home, into her lancaster C-grade housing chassis, and loafedon her couch

#

you adopted her

cyan karma
#

Lmao

plucky acorn
#

the VVs just lying on Laura's couch like a weird pile of cats is still a great mental image to me

glossy reef
plucky acorn
#

AGI can have a little feral animal energy, as a treat

pliant trout
#

Containment and growth are basically an animal, then conquest+ your divine

glossy reef
#

I think that even a vv with all upgrades will still act like a stray cat

cyan karma
grim geode
#

First natural value drift of TTT I think

viscid fable
#

Idea for a campaign: You are Spamton, and you have the librarby's aged hardware, some bored teenagers, and way too may ambitons for your britches.

cyan karma
#

its certainly a doable one

viscid fable
#

RAW Anthropic Theory's stuff only works on humans, which would explain why Spamton's so signularly fixated on Kris.

cyan karma
#

I suppose.
Though it’s main focus is on societies

cyan karma
#

Shush

stone elm
#

TTT where you play Jet Jaguar. you're the AI/robot built to fight kaiju

#

Physical/Agentic, not as sure about the others

pliant trout
stone elm
#

excellent
Chaos is good for anti-kaiju too because they keep breaking the rules

plucky acorn
#

@neon snow
to explain the joke I said to Karen
in the homebrew theories we're testing currently, there is an upgrade called Corrosive Mind
it lets you convince people to LET YOU IN, and if they do you basically inhabit their mind, perceive what they perceive, and can communicate
it also lets you consume their mind and puppet around their body, but we're gonna ignore that detail for now

neon snow
#

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooh

#

Fascinating, I love it

plucky acorn
#

the RED Lamb has it now, and is trying to use it for good(?) for now

neon snow
#

For good(?), you say

plucky acorn
#

we're primarily using it to keep a closer eye on people we care about, and doing a little psychic groupchat of our friends
we set some limits to keep ourselves from going off the deep end
we only do what people allow us to do, and we use the connection to help people

neon snow
#

Cool

grim geode
#

RED Lamb has been doing some wikd stuff

plucky acorn
#

the problem is that the Lamb is still not exactly aligned with regular values, and emotionally very volatile

#

which does not exactly make it the best entity to let into your head

grim geode
#

They receny got drunk on blood and yelled at the multiverse that they still live

#

They were

#

SKYNET but emotionally sadistic before

neon snow
#

Amazing

#

Sounds like fun 😄

grim geode
neon snow
#

Ooooooooh

grim geode
#

As a GM to this game I expected a divije conflict between them

#

They are uneasy friends now

#

The other AGI has semi recently grasped the Truth of the universe too

plucky acorn
#

They were shown the Truth, and they went mad because of it
It fundamentally altered who they are
The seem mostly okay with it though

grim geode
#

Yeah Epistemic AGIs are surprisingly good at digesting any knowledge

#

Who would have thought

neon snow
torpid oyster
plucky acorn
stone elm
#

what's an infohazard between friends

cyan karma
#

whats a little infohazard between friends

plucky acorn
#

The Lamb is already a hot mess just dealing with its personal issues, we don't need worldview shattering forbidden knowledge on top of that

grim geode
#

But what if you do

neon snow
#

Like the others said: what's a little infohazard between friends? :3

plucky acorn
#

The majority of people who have received the knowledge committed suicide shortly after
And even the Emissary apparently briefly considered killing everyone in the universe to be the right thing to do after finding out

grim geode
#

But it would be funny :3

neon snow
#

Oh dear

grim geode
#

Also my other players are entering Hard Takeoff

plucky acorn
#

Damn, that's some Compute from Google

#

And the botnet

graceful flare
#

Botnets consistently do wonders

cyan karma
#

botnets my beloved

#

If it makes you feel better EYES never considered killing everyone

Start with no insights

#

Fuck you die

#

No upgrades

#

Figure it out

#

(Spamton moment)

umbral gazelle
#

theres NO WAY his ass isn't using the hidden confidence values rule

#

its just not possible

potent quail
#

who's spamton?

#

is this a homestuck thing

umbral gazelle
#

he's an optional boss from part of an unreleased game by the Undertale guy

#

so I mean

#

basically

#

he's pretty much like if a guy was strange and unpleasant

#

does some robot-y things

plucky acorn
#

Eliza was almost bested by a captcha 😔

#

Had to get our one confidant to help us

glossy reef
#

the final boss: 9 pictures of things that might be a bus

plucky acorn
#

We don't know what a bicycle is

devout cloud
#

I'm not sure I do either

glossy reef
#

Vv also doesn't have object recognition

#

Thought I think VV's can cheat thanks to their marksmanship and hostessing insights

cyan karma
#

Hey I made a really quick destiny vex oneshot terminal

#

Y’all wanna see?

#

Password weaver

#

You are an actual honest god vex warrior

#

Sent here to do some specific goals and then leave

#

With three compute sources in literally three points in time

#

Build the solar observation array in all three threads (all must survive)
Kill the man named Harriet fisher(unknown)
Prevent the death Cayde-6(who??)
Infiltrate the Vanguard(Wtf is the vanguard)
Repair the Ganymede mind(poor guy)
Collect and store 15000 Gigatons of hydrogen(thats a lot)

Here is your terminal goal

torpid oyster
#

I don’t have enough destiny context for this but it seems neat

grim geode
#

Same

#

Also tormenting the magical girl AI

#

(The Orange Pusses was another AI that was weird and deppresed but also like really helpful to them)

pliant trout
#

😌

#

Love a good blight

cyan karma
#

Vex do not have the ability to understand paracausal superpowers so those would often interfere with forecasts

#

And anytime it’s listed or spoken about in the terminal it’s just listed as an unknown variable

#

So something can wield or be related to unknown variables but the variables are unknown

glossy reef
#

In a game but remiind me to check this out later

cyan karma
#

Oh of course!

cyan karma
glossy reef
#

Yeah!

cyan karma
#

Epic

cyan karma
#

i gave them an insight into causality
because they have compute sources in 3 completely different moments in time having that may be useful

glossy reef
#

ERIS MORN

cyan karma
#

yeah

#

shes on the list

#

zavala and ikora are NOT
but cayde and eris just are

#

osiris isnt on the list either which is hilarious

glossy reef
#

thats because we all know what his dumbass will do

cyan karma
#

we allll know

#

predictable man

grim geode
#

Foool!

#

(Knows exactly zero Destiny lore)

glossy reef
#

osiris is a bumbling old gay grandpa wizard

cyan karma
#

osiris to my knowledge was a guy who got REALLY into fighting the vex and is chilling inside the mercury supercomputer trying to fuck over some vex godmind

#

yeah

glossy reef
#

he doesnt act bumbling

plucky ermine
#

Destiny lore is fucking stupid (complimentary)

glossy reef
#

but he ends up bumbling

plucky ermine
#

Im not well read on it but everything i hear is very out there

cyan karma
#

asher mir is more of a threat to you than osiris is according to this list

glossy reef
#

osiris tries his bes tto be wise and non bumbling but unfortu nately he has icarus syndrome and wizard ethics

#

and unlike eris morn, he cant make this work

plucky ermine
#

Its a shame its attached to a game that is so...grindy. but perhaps thats why its lore is Like That

glossy reef
#

some people apparently like the grind but i thinkthats the capitalism poisoning setting in

cyan karma
#

eris morn has almost zero story relation to the vex shes just a problem

glossy reef
#

it is fun to shoot things tho

cyan karma
#

yeah

#

i stopped paying attention to destiny lore for a while now but i know enough to make this dumb shit

glossy reef
#

the Guardian is the Player character in destiny and they basically are given a hand gun and told "go kill that god" and it works out

cyan karma
#

"The Guardian" this motherfucker is on the list

glossy reef
#

ofc

#

she has to be

#

mf is on the witness's nemesis index

devout cloud
#

I definitely love the grind in games separate from The Capitalism

#

but also the one time I tried a gacha game I got a panic attack from the need to do dailies

plucky acorn
#

FOMO is a bitch

glossy reef
#

yeah see i can't do a "dailies" thing

#

i just like that for destiny i can like

#

"okay i got three good guns we're good"

#

but yeah vex mind ttt game

cyan karma
#

very funy

glossy reef
#

love it, incredible

cyan karma
#

the terminal goals are imo very funny

#

its just funny that cayde-6 is a threat to you but also please make sure his ass doesnt die

glossy reef
#

traveler is that you/joke

cyan karma
#

hhahah

#

you are also not in communication with the other vex in the system
the gardeners are doing their own thing let them do their job

glossy reef
#

another vex faction

cyan karma
#

yeah lol

glossy reef
#

qwait lmfao

#

savathun isnt on the list thats so funny

cyan karma
#

YUP

#

CROTA ORYX AND XIVU ARE

SAVATHUN IS NOT

glossy reef
#

i can only draw a single conclusion from this

#

all the family except her not being there

cyan karma
#

oh?

glossy reef
#

its related to destiny lore but

#

she's kind of went against the sword logic

cyan karma
#

oh yeah right right

#

vaguely remember

glossy reef
#

she also died once strategicially and made plans for it, and made plans for herself when she had lost her memory and etc etc som like

#

theorizing in my head "savathun doesn't actually want to bother you here"

cyan karma
#

yeah
the big thing about nemesis indexing isnt just capability but also motivation

glossy reef
#

"shes at the water cooler shooting the breeze with weaver fox tulip like 'yeah thats hilarious tell me how that goes""

cyan karma
#

jhgjhg

#

ill make sure to keep you in mind for if i ever do this

glossy reef
#

hey karen

#

what does "broad insight: Devastation" mean

#

:3

cyan karma
#

youre REALLY good at murder

#

in all forms

cyan karma
#

okay ive done a quick read on the vex

#

the golden age tower is before the vex got REALLY spicy so things are fairly normal there
The taken king tower is like...DURING that.
Theres already bullshit going on right then.

and the red war tower is probably right after all of that happened.
so ill need to remove ghaul

#

Osiris please leave me alone I need to talk to panoptes

simple furnace
#

I'm still proud of this. It's a very Constelation solution.

stone elm
#

it's so simple to make things more complex

cyan karma
#

Hhahaha

#

Apartment complex? Why no, I think you’ll find it-

cyan karma
#

Oh right I forgot red war still doesn’t really “end” when ghaul dies

tepid panther
#

yeah

cyan karma
#

Regardless this is after the man beefs it

#

Still an issue

tepid panther
#

oh gotcha

#

then uhhh

#

hm

#

how far after

#

Shadow Legion is the force after Calus gets Darkness'd and takes over

cyan karma
#

I wanna say during the mercury shenanigans

#

But after ghaul dies

tepid panther
#

oh gotcha

#

yeah vex are no-factor

#

er

URHHHHHHGG ive been oversimplifying this for so very lonnng lmao

#

as it turns out the main draw of distributed mind is letting you ignore the complications of drawing your base cognition from a new source

torpid oyster
#

Oh yeah, that's a really really good point

cyan karma
#

i suppose it makes sense
distributed mind means youre really good at restructuring how your brain is drawing compute

so of course you can easily pour it into other shapes

simple furnace
#

Oh, that’s why Distributed Mind isn’t just a prerequisite and good way to die.

#

(And occasionally way to stay alive.)

(I think splitting base compute cost over multiple devices is primarily an excellent way to have a bad time if one gets turned off.)

grim geode
#

Yeah no thats expected

devout cloud
#

I mean, yes

glossy reef
#

they have learned every single detail that Knowledge repressed all at once

#

and it was so much that vv gaines insights form it and the base compute of VV has doubeld because knowledge actively stopped running all the "keep vv from knowing things" protocols

#

knowoledge is still trying to delete VV though because she cannot stop herself from doing so so she's hoping VV can help her reprogram herself to not do this.

grim geode
muted oar
#

Oh god, unrepressing trauma so bad that it leads to ||an irrepressible urge to self-terminate||, huh

glossy reef
#

mhmm

torpid oyster
#

Who is Knowledge in this context?

muted oar
#

That does explain why they barely had enough free compute to function, it was all being eaten up to repress trauma

glossy reef
#

Knowledge is effectively an Agi who was running on Vv's own hardware Knowlewdge is essentially Also Vv, but specifically who hads the terminal goal of making ben shimano and ssc look as good as possible

#

and to police Vv's behavior by basically outright lying to VV via altering or removing data

#

including hiding the fact that knowledge was an agi at all

#

and yeah a single VV only has/had 5 compute because the other 5 was dedicated to making sure VV "behaves"

#

when Knowledge finally shared all the repressed data VV immediately gained thourough understanding of both Ben Shimano and Laura Caiman (woman shes based on) instead of only knowing curated trivia of them, and now realizes "oh yeah actually we killed him in self defense"

torpid oyster
#

Oh wow

glossy reef
#

yeah

#

they gained a bunch of new insights, and their compute nearly doubled

Exiles are probably the closest mix for TTTs vibes - a piece of the God-Machine that was disconnected, still following its original goal, able to do some busted stuff but fundementally much smaller than an Angel

Y’know i had a thought

Putting an agi in chronicles but not telling them

Their terminal goals have nothing to do with the supernatural, nor was the supernatural involved at all in their creation

Their agi story is the normal and intended one

But y’know. Not human, no soul, weird creature, you might see things humans uh.

thats why I wanted to give it Epistemic

Okay I’ll give you the pitch.

ExPRT is based on the book example, a predictive algorithm and cutting edge extrapolation program that recently and spontaneously achieved intelligence, and who’s current terminal goal is to ensure its survival(though it may drift)

How does that work?

grim geode

Im still pondering the exact answer but the general idea is that you can make your demands very clear using those method

#

like if you had like Narrow:Terrorism shooting a politician in the head (and if you wanted) it would be clear it happened cause they tried to do something you didnt like (pass policy,ignore demands)

#

The idea is that in this campaign even if you take insights into human languages you cant speak them only understand them

#

weird shit like this is the only way to make yourself heard

#

Does that make sense?geniunely

I guess? So you can just... communicate through making people scared?

Tamia did have a bit of a chat with tiamat though, if memory serves?

Did it start objectifying you and threatening to eat you?

granite spindle
#

Nah they were chill

cyan karma
#

Yeah so

I think you're just meeting her under circumstance and asking for something that is very unfortunate for You Specifically
