    Add a Robotics/RnD to syndie base

    in Suggestions

    Posted

    Specific items that wouldn't/shouldn't be available
    - Anything telecomms related, syndicate researchers aren't meant to be contacting normal crew
    - Records console boards, comms console boards, AI core board, AI/cyborg upload boards etc
    - Mech tracking beacons/AI beacons
    - Robobrains and syndicate MMIs would need to be changed to syndicate versions to stop them syncing to the station AI and have them loyal to the syndicate that made them

    Additionally, IRCs produced by syndicate robotics MAY need extra information telling them they are bound to the same rules as normal researchers and cannot leave

    Ripping limbs off and pulling organs out seems like a good idea. If you do enough damage to the chest, abdomen or head the organs can fall out if you're using a sharp weapon I believe.

    Although, if you aren't gibbing for non-permakill reasons, you'll want to make them either unable to remove the head/take organs from it or unable to actually eat the brain, as this is the only part that needs to be retained for people to be revived. The rest of the limbs and organs are entirely superfluous (well they need a heart and lungs but not for cloning)

    How Did You Get Here - Jobs!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Right, let's see here...

    First character was a lovely lady called Audrey, who then became Audrey Atkinson, and I think currently resides, unused as Audrey Goldsmith. First character I made, learning the ropes. Mute, because I made her that way after my first time playing as a mime, I would get job transfers to robotics to learn while still being a mime, eventually changing to just straight robotics and further progressing into medical due to how fun I found the surgery process.
    Went Mime > Roboticist > Surgeon > and then the rest of Medical, I believe, with the exception of CMO. 

    Next up, we got Emily. Emily originally started out as a boring, grey IPC called E.M.I.L.E. (Didn't stand for anything). I played one shift as HoP, which was also my first shift as Captain, before realising I didn't like the emotionless paperwork robot. Due to being heavily depressed at the time, I decided to change from no emotions to one emotion - Happy! Fitted with an emotional inhibitor, E.M.I.L.E. got a pink paintjob and became E.M.I.L.Y., later evolving into Emily-5 who 'broke' her inhibitor to allow her to feel all emotions (I got salty), then finally stopping at Emily-7. Nowadays, I don't touch the character slot, but I do still use the name Emily for when I play AI.
    Went HoP > Captain > AI > (this is where stuff gets messy) CMO > RD > Engineer > CE > I think Warden goes here? Maybe Detective first > More Medical I think > NT Rep > Blueshield > Magistrate > AI again and I think this is where I left off (this list does not include any roles I played for a single shift only, nor does it include the rotation after Magi in which I just cycled between Captain, HoP, Magistrate, NT Rep and Blueshield on repeat for about a year. I played almost every single role as Emily. Cargo was at some point but I don't remember the timeline.)

    At some point during the long, seemingly unending Emily saga, I unlocked slime people. (oh god oh fuck she powergaming)
    Firstly, I made Domino. A simple, mute slimegirl (to replace Audrey who I made not-mute). Not a very big list here.
    Bartender > Mechanic > Station Engineer

    And then I made Sunrise. A germaphobe, an interesting roleplay challenge. Pretty much the same personality as the rest of my characters (I am bad at roleplaying).
    Mostly just cycling between Command roles, occasionally switching it up to play Security or Internal Affairs. Usually playing as HoP, if anything. Played a few rounds as Medical Doctor but given the germaphobe thing, I would only do first aid and even then I wouldn't do much in terms of that. Also a fan of Coroner.
    I don't really remember the specific order but it's something like
    Security Officer > Security Pod Pilot > Warden > HoS > Detective > Brig Physician > Magistrate > NT Rep > Captain > HoP

    I need to learn atmos at some point maybe probably who knows

    Is the AI sentient?

    in Public Archives

    Posted

    I've thought about this quite a lot. I'd have to argue that no AI is sentient, but simply imitating what they've been taught is sentience.

    Here's another example which may be easier to figure out than the sentience one
    A man is taken as a Prisoner or War to let's say, uh, Korea. This man is English and such does not understand Korean. This man is provided with a book in his cell. It contains Korean phrases, and Korean responses, with no English. When someone reads a phrase from the book, the man must respond, in Korean, with the appropriate response. Given enough time, the man wouldn't need the book, being able to perfectly respond to any phrase given despite not knowing what he's saying. 
    Korean people speaking to him would get full Korean responses, and as such believe he is fluent despite him not having any translation of what he's saying and therefore no understanding of the conversation.

    This is similar to how an AI would function. The AI could figure out the correct responses to prompts through trial and error, and as such, could appear to be sentient. Given enough time any artificial intelligence could perfectly mimic actual sentience and as such pass all tests and be declared as such, without actually ever having been sentient.

    Another argument could be that the AI was sentient from the moment it was created, however, the sentient beings that made it likely coded in what they perceive as sentience. As such the AI would appear to be sentient however it would only be following it's coding, which again, only makes it appear to be sentient, not actually so.

    I don't believe and artificial intelligence, IPC or otherwise, could actually be fully sentient. Can they have a watered-down version built by code and copied behaviour, which they believe to be the full thing? Absolutely. Can they achieve the same level of sentience as a Vulpkanin or Human? Probably not.

    @Ty Omaha I love you and will 100% put that in.
    @White In Sky @farie82 @rapaskoti will do those as well.

    @Trubus how do you mean? On a shirt?

    And @Dinarzad if you could provide like, how you mean, that would be swell. If you mean a white blouse with a black skirt, I could totally do that, although if you have another idea for it I'd be grateful if you could give me an example, you can just draw it on paint or whatever and send it to me on Discord, my tag is Christasmurf#1753.
