He’s out in negative butt fucking freezing weather talking to that stupid thing Church disappeared in to! You know what he said to Caboose? "You’re in charge of remembering me”! Can you believe that? Now all Caboose does is stand out there holding an umbrella over the thing talking to it cause he’s too chicken shit to move the memory unit indoors cause “It might disturb Church”! Then I have to go out there and make sure he’s not frozen to death. It fucking sucks, damn it!“

Late night skype talks with Danni it’s like 2am when I drew this ok bye (he’s not wearing chest armor btw ahafk)

found a bunch of stupid tshirts on pinterest today

so where’s the red team fic where simmons finally snaps and kills Grif for Sarge’s approval n sarge has to pretend he’s proud of him and not like, horrified because hell if I know he does care about grif even a little bit

So I was overthinking the mechanics of how AI think themselves to death after 7 or so years in the context of Church and how he couldn't run the suit because of his memories and like.

I kind of hate how much sense that makes.

For those not in the know, computers have what is called RAM, random access memory. It's what programs use to store temporary data so that it can be called quickly enough to run a program. If you run a python script, those variables in the script are stored in memory. Not necessarily in a file unless you write the data there. They're just stored locally within the program and then the memory is deallocated when the program is done so that the computer can use that space for other things.

But as a computer runs, stuff starts to clog the memory. Memory leaks, background programs, whatever. Junk code can clog the memory that isn't helping anything and just slows down the computer. The easy solution to this is to restart the computer, which flushes the memory. It's why the number one tech support tip is to turn a computer off and on again, and part of why that usually works. It's getting rid of all the buggy jank code clogging up memory.

Okay great.

So what if the computer is a person and that junk code is actual memories.

What if that buggy, slow computer is a person that feels emotions and values his memories? And now that computer needs to run something that he. Does not have the space in his memory to run.

What if those memories are what are holding him together as a person, a person of his own, and without that he is seven individual subroutines?

And then he has to throw all those memories away because the number one way to fix a buggy computer is to reboot it.

Anyway I'm feral about that little blue bitch.
