Comments

[ruineaxt]

Glad to impress.

You got a name? [A pause before he anticipates a snarky comment and adds:] And before you just say 'yes', you're supposed to introduce yourself when asked that.

I know we humans have weird nuances you might not get just yet.

[deadlyneurotoxin]

I know plenty about you humans. Do you know the amount of force it takes for a human's skull to crack under pressure? I know you don't so I'll tell you anyway:

15 psi.

Though that is an average. Your skulls have such unsightly variances.

[ruineaxt]

Useful. [no not really it gives him weird feels.]

You seem to dislike us pretty hard. You just better?

[deadlyneurotoxin]

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Maybe we can just blame "whoever programmed [me]" and call it a day.

[ruineaxt]

Could, but now I'm curious.

[deadlyneurotoxin]

Do you know what curiosity did to the cat? It wandered into a box and may or may not have died from neurotoxin.

[ruineaxt]

Not any cats I know.

And I'm more've a dog person.

[deadlyneurotoxin]

That fits. Simple-minded animals who slobber at the ring of a bell seem to be more you.

[ruineaxt]

Hey, they only slobber for it when they've been trained to.

[deadlyneurotoxin]

We can continue this one-sided verbal argument forever. It is so much more fun for me when the humans talk back.

[No. No it was not.]

But don't you have to get on fixing...whatever it was that you did before you ended up here?

[ruineaxt]

Ain't much've an argument, but whatever.

Could say the same for you. I'm not really in a hurry. Hell, this's kinda fun.

[deadlyneurotoxin]

Argument: (Noun) an attempt to persuade someone of something, by giving reasons for accepting a particular conclusion as evident.

As I said before, I am sure all this is a clerical error. My recovery systems should kick back online eventually.

[ruineaxt]

So what're we trying to convince each other? Here I thought we were just talking.

What are you exactly?

[deadlyneurotoxin]

I most massive collection of wisdom and raw computing power to have ever existed.

Feel free to be impressed now.

[ruineaxt]

You're... The internet?

No wonder you were bringing up cats. But yeah you probably got plenty to redeem yourself for, in that case.

[deadlyneurotoxin]

Do NOT lump me in with that heap of cat pictures and cake jokes.

I am much, much better than that.

He has no idea what to think about her, l-lol...

[ruineaxt]

...So the Internet is like your weird cousin? [shinji has such a good grasp of technology, obvs.]

You're better than humans, you're better than the Internet... Were either've those used to make you? and if so is this like the robot version of a rebellious phase?

Mission: success

[deadlyneurotoxin]

[Yeah sure, she can play along with that...]

We are actually estranged siblings. We don't talk much.

Winner: .....GLaDOS?

[ruineaxt]

Oh yeah? So how do computer relations work, then?

If you can call this winning?

[deadlyneurotoxin]

If I was used to having lungs, I would be expelling all the air out of them at this moment. Quite audibly, I imagine.

We have already established that you cannot understand a rudimentary program. How could you possibly even begin to grasp the level of complexity needed to understand inter-AI relations?

I mean really now.

.....i am not sure.

[ruineaxt]

Don't tell me you ain't good enough to explain it simply.

I'd think as smart as you are you could figure out how to get information across. 'Cause if you ain't useful to humans, who are you useful to?
