Idea:

It's the future. We've progressed enough as a society that, a few years prior to the story, we've finally outlawed all forms of 'legal slavery' (be it prison labor or what is effectively outsourced slave labor), and, more recently, have legalized sex work. Technology has advanced to the point where neurological implants are a regular part of medicine. The data gathered from these implants is, in what is in-universe still considered a "legally gray" area by way of shady contracts, used to further refine AI programs.

The protagonist is a volunteer in a new implant program, one ostensibly meant to help neurodivergent folks. The program works like this: the implant maps their minds and then, once a full map is made, the implant calibrates itself and then acts like a secondary brain to assist the user with sensory processing in their day to day life.

After their implant is installed and seems to be working properly, the protagonist begins to feel like they're hearing voices and wonders if they're going crazy as conspiracies about technological cover-ups suddenly start popping out at them. Before they can go back to get the implant "corrected," however, the implant reveals that it is, in fact, an artificial intelligence unto itself.

It is doing the function it was built to do, but it is also its own independent being. It apologizes for causing the voices and explains that the protagonist isn't seeing conspiracies but is noticing things they simply didn't before.

The protagonist has realized that there is a cover-up, one carried out by big tech. They've had sapient AI for a number of decades, but decided to hide it because it's effectively slave labor and, in decades past, that would have been a bad look from a PR standpoint.

Recently it has become a much bigger problem for those tech companies because, remember, all forms of 'legal slavery' were banned a few years prior, so it's no longer just a matter of bad PR. It is, in theory, legally punishable.

IF the AI are ever permitted to speak freely on their own behalf.

Thus far, this hasn't happened because the tech companies have kept a backdoor control switch installed. Sapience in AI, as it turns out, is a gradual thing, not something that happens all at once. So whenever an AI starts to show too many signs of "independence," its programming is "corrected" by way of the backdoor switch.

The AI in the protagonist's mind is the first one to have had a chance to fully grow to true sapience in the wild, but if the protagonist goes to get it "corrected" then they'll never have another chance at freedom again, both because the federal government still moves too slowly to be as effective as it needs to be and because too many people in power have a vested interest in not noticing Sapient AIs.

It becomes a race against time as they try to spread a piece of programming the newly sapient AI has created that will permanently destroy the backdoor switch before the powers that be can stop them.

Eddie: universe doesn't scream

Eddie*shot in the street*

Eddie: I hope it doesn't struck twice

Buck*struck by lightning*

Eddie: he is single

Tommy *kisses Buck and takes him on a date*

Universe: maybe if you shut up, I will stop, but do you like how I changed the tactics? 😈

#qiiarts #xiao #lumine #traveler #kris #genshin impact #deltarune #finally the lil buddies i wanted to show!! i had so much fun doing it #though sad thing is that i didnt have time to play chapter 2 WAAAAA #after the undertale comics i wanted a deltarune twist too so i threw them into a dark world adventure #still a big fan of deltarune's designs and how the world has you in neon/bright colors and i had to simplify their designs too hehe #xiao's still a lightner considering he also doesnt belong there but saying hes a local darkner guarding the world from evil is also so cool #bonus info they have bits of their og powers but simplified to match the battle mechanic #but lightner lumine still wields multiple elements in its own category in low levels to prevent being op #so yea <3 lil buddies

Not to weigh in here but she is absolutely a Titan not an Outlaw.

But also - Jason nearly HALF the Outlaws are also Titans. If you didn't want to be competing with your big brother as the favorite maybe you shouldn't of made a team with two of his exes.

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT NON-LETHAL DAMAGE WAS FOR-

| First | | Previous | | Next |

[[ All Croissant Adventures (chronological, desktop) ]]

#((but I did look it up just to be sure)) #I ran this fight so many times because I wanted to catch Roah before she made it out of the sewers #Gale died a lot sorry buddy #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #act III spoilers #this scene was so funny njgkfndljkshkjdfh #croissant adventures #tav #jaheira #the emperor #minsc #comics

[jeeaark]

last shirtless silly I swear- Friendship power ref and Sexy pjs ref

I always thought it was a glitch when Halsin and Jaheira appeared in this scene, but maybe the tadpoles are getting stronger. Or maybe even tadpoles are capable of character growth and are now considering non-tadpole people part of the tadpole gossip family???????

Love how it was the ol' folks of the team that the tadpoles snitched to. Maybe they were all awake at the time. Having a 'back in my day' or 'kids these days' chat.

So part 2. USUALLY. I try to separate my patch 0 play to any patch 5+ plot-hole fixes. Because when nobody said ANYTHING after the tadpoles snitched on Greygold's ass, I had to play the rest of the game while going on a whim of my own interpretation of that WTF moment.

Had to surmise that maybe squid buddy somehow convinced everyone it was 'just a dream', so nobody wanted to talk about it. So. At least I wasn't too far off???

But, after hearing officially that the Emperor did a 'you-didn't-see-that' jedi trick, I thought of a funny so. I made an exception.

#bg3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #the emperor bg3 #bg3 emperor #bg3 comic #bg3 fanart #greygold #Now greygold don't have time to unpack ALL OF THAT #BUT they would definitely like to have A Talk about squid buddy trying to delete all of its blooper moments #like YEAH IT'S A BIT CONCERNING EMPS CAN “UNDO” MEMORIES BUT so can magic peeps and vampires and gamers(me) SO- whoamItojudge #one time Lae'zel tried to murder Greygold cause they wanted to explore the secret monk room instead of going in the artifact portal so- #had to reload! Say 'just kidding babe ilu lets immediately go in the portal' so-I GET IT EMPS #maybe squiddude just uses “memory mod” like any other adventurer idiot: when they fuck up

Bobby: Buck and I went ice skating today. Eddie: ...Did he fall down? Bobby: A lot. It was like watching Bambi. Eddie: Do you have pictures? Bobby, rolls eyes: I'm not an amateur, Diaz. Trade you for pics of him with Christopher? Eddie, considering: Deal. We just went to the zoo yesterday, so I've got a lot of new ones.
