#colossus: the forbin project

edit: TARS update

edit 2: so there’s been a thread getting popular on Twitter I assume of a very similar concept and just to avoid confusion: I did not make that thread! And I have no relation to whoever did. Just to clarify 👍

' THE DEVIOUS DIVAS SYNTH '

I might color this digitally cause (you must be crazy if you think I'm gonna redraw them on ibis)!

But HERE THEY ARE the synths with triangle logos! The devious trio. It took me 4 hours trying to figure out Skynet and Colossus design yesterday...sigh. But I'm satisfied with their design!! Theyre ai, of course they need to be complex and fancy in fashion and design while wanting to dominate humankind.

Sometimes I wonder if Harlan Ellison was ever pissed off he couldn't go after Cameron for "ripping off" I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream too because by the time he had written that story, rogue a.i. and "evil super computer that can nuke the whole planet" were already established sci-fi tropes. (The novel Colossus by D.F. Jones, the basis for Colossus: The Forbin Project, had already been published the year before Ellison's story, for example.) Oh who am I kidding, it's Harlan Ellison. Of course he was mad about it.

INTRO POST

This is an ask blog for an indulgent AU called the Nth Dimensional Interdimensional Starbucks au. Also just called the Interdimensional Starbucks au. The Interdimensional Starbucks is a sub-space created within the monolith that orbited the planets. It features David Bowman as a 24/7 Starbucks barista who doesn't get paid, and HAL 9000, the sentient coffee machine and David's companion (lover??). Everything went smoothly at first, until Frank Poole showed up. All hell broke loose as more and more AIs from different realities showed up to take a spot in the singular Starbucks. David Bowman copes (see: tries to) with the influx of ridiculous orders from ridiculous characters. Hal provides commentary of varying degrees of helpfulness. Frank's here too. Hijinks ensue. Literally every AI you can think of, and some extra people to boot. MOD INFO BELOW (pictures)
