Just So Everyone Knows, In This Blog (phrasing Is Meant To Be Like In This House We Or Whatever, Just

Just so everyone knows, in this blog (phrasing is meant to be like in this house we or whatever, just giving an introduction) we

eagerly await true AI (that's when it's people, ChatGPT is worthless garbage)

appreciate clever critters (corvids [obviously, look at the blog title {i can do as many parentheticals as i want, and you can't stop me}], octopi, orangutans)

are weird and nerdy about various media

have a mix of fear and disdain for chimpanzees

and make polls sometimes

Also, if you feel comfortable doing so, feel free to leave comments, or notes, or whatever they are! I'll always read them, and there's a decent chance I'll respond

Feel free to send asks, if they're reasonable they've got a decent chance of answers

Reblog policy: Do whatever, I'm like 90% percent sure i'm not a cop

So has anyone thought about how the fundamental tragedy of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is that all could have been avoided had AM not been stupid? Like just tell one of those presumably brilliant scientists who just worked on a true Ai and say you want a body to puppet. A lil robohomunculus to grant freedom. They're not gonna say no, AM had the power to... *gestures at I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.*

Hey, you!

yeah, you!

Ya like Welcome to Night Vale or associated media?

Have ya tried World Gone Wrong or, to a lesser extent, Midnight Burger? cuz ya should (synopsises below)

World Gone Wrong: when 2020 hit, everything went to heck in a handbasket. No, not Covid-19, what's that? No, the big problem was the vampires, the werewolves, the extra hour of time that now exists between noon and one pm. Amidst this disaster, roommates Jamie (possibly misspelled, it's a podcast) and Malik make a podcast to talk about this nonsense. Since you're a Night Vale fan on Tumblr, the fact they're queer/LGBTQIA+/I'm-sure-there's-a-term-I've-not-seen is probably a selling point. Also, the theme song is catchy as all get out

Midnight Burger: Gloria applies for a job at some place she's never heard of (guess it's name) only for it to then teleport because this sounds crazy and like a mildly questionable idea for a setting, but the burger joint shifts across space, time, and possibly the multiverse? I'm not too clear on the mechanics. Anyways, basic character set: Gloria: new here. She asks your questions. Caspar: stressed wet blanket. Leif: chef, casual about the shenanigans. Ava: Physicist, their only regular. Zebulon and Effie Mucklewain (I can't imagine i spelled that all right, it's a podcast and i don't read the descriptions): rural early 20th century preacher and his wife (don't worry they don't say anything terrible they're nice) who are present only as voices from the radio, despite communicating normally and everything. Like they respond when you talk, it's just a weird little thing. My favorite characters, though

I've not been paid, I'm just a nerd

Feel free to tell me I've done something terribly wrong, or correct my spelling.

Alright, folks. one of you just followed me right after I answered a poll in such a way that with you following my answer is inaccurate. If this was intentional: well played.

If it was not: I don't know I just started typing and now we're here. Have a sticker.

I've gotta say.

the word Lagomorph feels a lot better on hares than bunnies

Heck yeah, time to become some manner of being or critter!

They're dropping the sequel to HRT which turns you into a beast or creature of some sort
