I mean... Glados does look suspiciously like a bound woman hanging upside down...
For anyone who hasn't seen it:
.... well fuck
i refuse to believe that tumblr doesn't find christian borle sexy
Maybe they'd do better against someone else, but c'mon. It's GlaDOS. 10:1 odds she wins the whole thing
yeah there's no way glados loses unless there's some highly r34'd robot i don't know about in the contest
My money's on Aunt Fanny.
oh no what is that
that's disgusting
where
my friend saw this on my phone and now i reeally need the source just to make sure we both never see it again
XJ-9? Maybe? 2B if that even counts as a "robot".
oh so that's the name, thanks
i will absolutely not look anything up right now
Androids are literally what you call robots with human forms. C-3PO is an android and a robot, as are 2B and EDI.
when you can literally do a perfect cosplay of an android by putting on some specific clothes, it's for all intents and purposes not an android anymore.
It's like someone entering into a strongman contest with an exoskeleton suit that lifts everything for them, that's not following the spirit of the thing.
Let's celebrate with some neurotoxin.
no offense to Vox but I’d pick Mr. "Ant" Tenna over them. they stood no chance against GLaDOS
stupid sexy clanker
are they a clanker if they have at least partially a digitized human consciousness?
damn that's like a philosophical question.
But in my opinion, if it's a real human consciousness and it's the one itself that have total authorithy for their body, then I think it's human. Like cyborg.
Except when it is not entirely independent, like stalkers in Half-Life 2, they're under control of someone else. Or Half-Life headcrab zombies where it's under control of the headcrab, but the human is terribly miserable. I think killing the zombie would put that misery to end which helps the hijacked person.
If it's not a real consciousness but merely an LLM spit out of the persons' lifetime social media personality data, then it's a clanker.
I think this is kind of more realistic, social media corporation will launch a feature that "revive" a dead person as a personality that people can interact with, but they will try to humanize it as much as possible in the marketing language, implying it's a real consciousness while in reality it's just LLM built on top people's data.
But who am I, I'm not a philosopher.
but none of these are what glados is, glados is like if you put a brain into a robot which creates horrible new urges and filters your sensory input, and after some time you're just a different person due to all the trauma and how fucked your interaction with the world is
I completely forgot what post am I in 😆 I kind of feel like she's a just a sentient AI, controlled by personality cores and tasked to do the jobs Aperture Science is supposed to achieve.
What made me feel that way is because there's a possibility/implied that Caroline didn't consent to be put into glados, and the fact that glados can also be activated & deavtivated by Aperture workers. Also since her personality can be adjusted, like when she has high urges to murder, the Aperture workers just put morality core.
Also I'm not sure if Glados is properly aware that she's doesn't live in the same body as Caroline then nor I'm sure if glados know that Cave Johnson is dead. Or if did she ever found that out, I don't remember, I don't remember much of Portal 2.
I suppose she's more like omnics in Overwatch. Omnics are like sentient robots. But in Overwatch, omnics are treated closer like a human than ordinary robots.
I mean what Overwatch did is to make an allegory to IRL systemic racism. But since realistically now in real life omnics are still not human, so my position is that both omnics & glados, a very advanced sentient robots, are not human.
also I feel a bit weird that my personal stance is that pronouns (except "it") isn't necessary to a thing, or robot. But since the game uses she/her pronoun for glados, I just kind of went with that.
I usually feel like pronouns (except "it") is just for human. But people do use pronouns to animals sometimes. I guess it's valid & not just for human.
Ultimately I'm not so familiar with it. English is my second language and my native language doesn't have gendered pronoun.
Coughing Baby vs hydrogen bomb
GLaDOS is the robot people wanna have sex with, didn't even have to see the results to know what they'd be.
Never heard of Vox, no idea what their voice or personality are like, but these results don't surprise me regardless
Where the Acguy at? It's cute af.
!remindme somebody please...
