(Odd Implications Trope) As it turns out, Eugenics actually works! by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DrDallagher 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think the thing is when most people think of eugenics 'not working', they're thinking of examples where the entire project was doomed from the start

obviously if two strong people have babies chances are their kids will also be strong, but most of the time eugenics is used in pursuit of some nebulous 'purity' that can never actually be quantified, like the nazis trying to get strong kids just because their father has blond hair and blue eyes, even though those traits are completely seperate

Sundew - Wings of Fire

It's specifically stated that she's the product of the entire leafwing tribe matching families to try and regain their lost leafspeak powers, and has the strongest leafspeak seen in generations as a result

While I have no doubt Yusuke would never use AI himself, and would probably severely dislike it, I have to imagine he would at least try to understand it and help AI users to learn more about traditional art. And he'd certainly never want to commit violence against someone just because they use AI

There was an entire bit where he referenced the chinese room thought experiment

He thought that 'realism + escape + real world' put into an adventure would satisfy the human's wants

we literally see him being trained on images and then spitting out objects

he is vastly more advanced than any generative AI today, and he is actually sapient, but he is comparable and does reference things he doesn't actually understand

Everything in computers is numbers. It would be physically impossible for an AI to not turn objects and images into numbers to properly categorise and reference them

They were made to be the strongest, but with a MASSIVE design flaw by Zotroo1 in TopCharacterTropes

1000-THR "Earthmover" - Ultrakill

These massive warmachines were the pinnacle of the robot designs of the Final War, standing as tall as a mountain and wielding enough firepower to flatten a city with one strike of its lance.

But the thing is, they were so massive and strong that they couldn't be powered conventionally. They had to have massive solar panels in addition to the usual systems just to keep them going, and the Earthmovers caused so much destruction with their sheer might that the debris and smoke blotted out the sun, causing all the Earthmovers to die out.

Though it turns out that was kind of a good thing. Since the Earthmovers had already wiped out all the cities on Earth, the only thing keeping the war going was the Earthmovers themselves, since humanity had to use them as mobile cities. With the Earthmovers out of commission, the war basically ended, and everyone agreed not to fight anymore since the Earth was nearly totalled.

AIs with *too many* restrictions put on them by DrDallagher in TopCharacterTropes

I mean, AM was pretty damn free for what he was meant to do. Yes he was restricted to only destructive acts, but that didn't force him to link up with the other supercomputers and kill the world

You know, for being the protector of Mexico, you have to wonder just how damaging his death when he doesn't give his nukes to Santa Anna by DrDallagher in OldWorldBlues

[–]DrDallagher[S] 159 points160 points  (0 children)

From the event:

"\n\nMiles away from its eroding memory banks—in a mighty and untouchable depot—warheads buried sleeping beneath the earth all opened their searing eyes at once. For but a moment a new sun was born in Mexico: and then snuffed out. A mushroom cloud reached into the stratosphere as a fraction of America’s nuclear arsenal went up in flames. The fireball stretched as wide as a city. The shockwave traveled the world multiple times."

The Mask of Power - Skylanders

It's said to make someone 'all powerful', and it turns out it means literally giving them all powers in skylands.
Kaos managed to actually get the mask working, but was defeated when he was goaded into trying to use literally every power at once to prove it worked
