A WORD OF ADVICE ☝️ get off twitter and get on instagram reels. watching brainrot babyslop is way more fun than slowly killing yourself by reading about useless discourse you're not even a part of
there's a fine line between being wary of manipulation and becoming completely paranoid because you get very close to the realisation that pretty much all human interaction involves doing things we hope will lead to a result we like
this post is about a lot of things. it's about my ex saying it was manipulative to talk to them in a cute voice because that influenced their emotions. it's also about someone on this webbed site saying being funny is "engagement farming". like yeah every single conversation you have is going to be "manipulative" if your standard for that is "did something with the goal of eliciting a response". if that bothers you go live in a hut in the forest and speak only to the trees. I'll be over here manipulating my friends into being happy by giving them compliments
Spector is the Sierra Madre hologram of my Courier Six rambling about him below
Spector is a complete copy of Six’s brain. The thing is Six always had a very bad memory after being shot in the head by Benny and general repression. The brain scan salvaged all the memories it could. A computer stores memories far more effectively than a human brain.
When Spector comes online for the first time he freaks out because 1 he has no physical form and 2 for the first time ever he has a crystal clear memory. He remembers everything terrible thing that has ever happened to him and every terrible thing he has done all at once causes him to lose it. He tries to delete every negative memory but only succeeds in removing them and hiding them deep in the Lucky 38 servers. This leaves Spector with a very patchy memory of Six’s life on top of the near 100 years Six lived as a ghoul after he made that brain scan. Spector lies to everyone saying the memories must have just gotten corrupted, or lost in the transfer.
Due to the lack of memories Spector takes on a much cheerier disposition than Six had. Spector was supposed to only be an emergency protocol that would activate after Six’s death and shut off once Six’s affairs were taken care of and Vegas was safe. Spector decided he doesn’t want to shut off. He lies about this as well saying the shut down protocol must be broken.
Reminder, analytical AI and generative AI aren't the same. While I loathe generative AI and feel there is no ethical way to use it at this time, analytical AI can serve valuable purposes in many fields.
