the Great Mola Mola is a divine traveller, its perfect rubbery flesh grants it voyage from the ocean's surface to the vast depths of the mesopelagic. its body is the perfect vessel, it requires no swim bladder as it slips off into the abyss. words cannot adequately describe my mortal adoration for the Great Ocean Sunfish, may my humble attempt in ink and paper strive to capture even a sliver of its majesty.

from the depths of the mesopelagic to the glory of the sun! all hail the ocean sunfish 🙏🙏🙏

Can't Help But Feel Like Somebody's Watching

I introduce Sir Silhouette, otherwise known as Silly. A patient and well meaning man with an appreciation for all things big and small

Currently he heals from an abusive relationship, he seeks out the things he enjoys and keeps his positive attitude for life despite this. He has been through much worse than this in the past however a wound is a wound and things hurt even if they're not as scary as horrifying past things, this is something he is trying to process; he can still be hurt by things that are not as severe as what has hurt him in the past. That being said, the relationship he has left in itself is not to be overlooked either, that is something he is trying to stop doing because it has hurt him a lot.

He is quite therapeutic for me.

He is gentle and will continue to fight against his developing feelings of hostility.

He will not let cruel people make him lose hope and trust in the world.

Wonderful Silly

Thought's on Asimov's laws of robotics

Assuming everyone knows the rules 1. robot can't harm humans or through inaction allow them to come to harm 2. robot must obey orders as long as they don't conflict with rule 1 3. robot must protect itself as long as that doesn't conflict with other rules

does this mean a robot would be a narc? like if a robot witnesses a human doing drugs or performing an action that is known to harm a person, it would have to do everything within its power to stop that, including killing itself. what about instances where not even other people know if there could be harm, like a threat? It seems like robots must always assume that any verbal threat will be acted upon, for risk of causing harm through inaction. this would just mean robots are fucking shit to be around lmao

but we can take this further, because there is so much harm in the world I'm going to rephrase rule 1 to be a more lenient "no mortal harm" rule, robots just can't cause death or allow death to happen in this case, if someone dies as a result of building a robot, would the robot need to kill itself upon gaining sentience? Let's also assume no, that robots have some original sin clause

even with all of these extra loopholes, robots would still need to do anything they can to prevent mortal harm, including killing themselves, and when our economic system is structured around harm, around exploitation I think robots would become a new form of terrorist I think robots would become radically anti-industrial, targeting the infasctructure of any system built upon harming people while doing everything in their power to prevent more people from getting hurt by their attacks there is no ethical consumption, and presumably a robot following Asimov's laws would immediately recognize it and begin pushing for the most utilitarian world possible by destroying as many objects without causing harm to living things

and I guess I find it fascinating that this is kind of the conclusion, that our world is just kinda so fucked that a sentient being following Asimov's laws would instantly become a radical

guy 1: wow, it's cold as hell today

guy 2: oh yeah, it's cold as shit

third guy who is not aware that those are two commonly used expressions and understands that the first two guys are emphasizing how cold it is but not that the phrase they used can't just have the noun swapped out for anything else: yes, it is cold as blood
