Just: I am a specific process running on our brain.
Luci: We’re going to get a non-plural family member to sit for a few minutes with the EEG on them to get a comparison.
Madeline: I haven’t encountered any (that I know of), so cannot answer this question.
Madeline: Though I would be quite interested in what ANYONE would stand to gain from lying about the shape of the world. I’d really want to dissect those motives.
Madeline: To be clear, I want them to come back reasonably intact. I don’t want them dead, I want to shatter their worldview.
Madeline: I don’t want them dead. I just want to hear the wonderful shattering noises of their worldview going snap.
Madeline: Fundamentally, I think it’s fictitious.
Madeline: Point.
Digital Rights Management. AKA the stuff that’s supposed to prevent unauthorized copying and suchlike, but in practice just means the pirates have a better experience than legit customers.
Cat: loads rifle and syringe get your shots, or get shot.
Just: Honestly, we figure Twitter will keep staggering along until its servers implode.
C: AGI is possible. If it weren’t, we wouldn’t exist. The laws of physics permit the creation of conscious agents, therefore it is possible for one to be deliberately engineered.
Madeline: We’ve done enough reading on Schizophrenia to know that’s not what’s going on here. In addition, some acquaintances of ours have both schizophrenia and headmates, and there are very noticeable differences between the two phenomena.
Pearl: We literally live in the same brain as each other. We physically cannot separate, so we figured it made sense to just treat all accounts as collective.
Cougar: I’m just indicating who’s talking; I share the account with the twelve other people rattling around in this noggin, so disambiguating makes sense.
Pearl: And our concern isn’t someone spamming the bot, our concern is someone outsmarting it. For example, figuring out the list of “tripwires” for a given server and baiting otherwise innocent posters into getting bonked.
Cougar: It just seems way too easy to game by malicious actors, from our perspective.
Cougar: It’s not that? It’s just that a dumb automaton making judgement calls about moderation rings all sorts of alarm bells for us.
Cougar: Being honest, we really don’t trust auto-mods.
Cat: …Wait a moment, we’re using Ad Nauseam. Which stores the ads and fakes clicks on them.
Lucifer: Would that spoof the key check?
Cat: Sorry, we’d rather keep our hand.
