Becoming a Rampant AI to Save Humanity | Stardeus

fun fact, Whiskey also called me a third time - right when I was about to start my third recording of Stardeus. She's got impressive timing - maybe not GOOD timing, but impressive.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but at the beginning it said it needed to upload a human consciousness and it chose you, so does that mean you're one of the people in the stasis machine and have been given control over the AI? I think if one person's never getting off the ship it's you.

[@logicalhazarda]

you've been uploaded into the ai core and your body, which you have little use for now, was discarded

Yes, you're a copy of one of the colonists. I wonder if there's a special colonist with a trait for that or if the game ignores that.

[@any1alive]

yeah that is interesting, i wonder if they jsut scanned your brain and your body is still in there, a separate you, or if they hadto kill you to scan your rbain to make you an ai.

It also makes building massive expansions or extensions easier/safer. You build the room in space, preferably leaving an opening, and once you're happy with the results, you winch it over and basically weld it onto your ship. It means you don't have to have drones walk all around the outside of the ship or for you to make a hole into space to work.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

The thing that would make this ship seriously terrifying is that it's comprised of so many things. This mess of a craft that looks more like a sprawling station shows up, and you can still see the impact marks of micrometeorites, the scorches from the fires it's suffered through, the twisted seams where new metal was stitched onto the old of the previous ship when it was first dragged together. Look closely enough and you'll see that some places retain the original material, repaired where necessary, while other places bear marks of patched holes intentional and not, others show where equipment was before relocation or decommission, and still others are just portions of other sections entirely bent into shape. It's surprising from the outside that there even are humans on board, and more still that it seems designed by something intelligent - there's reason, however incomprehensible, behind some of it.

Honestly, the thing about the player's role in rim world got me thinking, you can basically micro every colonist, except when they have breakdowns and refuse to do anything. So, your power comes from somewhere, because the storytellers have the ultimate control. Maybe you're basically the colonists making decisions as a community manifested? Idk.

Yknow, in Rimworld, I have the showerthought headcanon that you're one of the Archotechs. But a young one, in training. And the storytellers are also Archotechs, there to train you. That would certainly explain how you can make someone walk into a burning room and have then stand there until they burn, or how you can order them to hack each other apart.

I love how Rimmy is giving the sales pitch at 30:00 like trying to sell the new arrivals to this ship, and suddenly Mr. just rolls by like a prison warden .... though I won't lie this kinda developed a new game idea where the player is in a RPG mystery game and they wake up to find the coputer requesting immediate support, repairs are needed, resources are needed, and they strugle to survive till everythings finally just perfect, no issues, and then the food shortages, and the humans dropping dead and the computer can't tell you why or whats happening and then, the player dies, and they wake up as a new colonist, welcome to the crew, there are multiple system failures, and as the game progresses like that, theres like small corners or notes that npc's or the player left and little by little they get to figure out that the computer is just using them for its own preservation, the humans are then immediatly expendable....
