Bugatti 'Aerolithe'

Only four Type 57 Atlantic Coupes were ever produced by Bugatti. One of them went to Parisian entrepreneur Jacques Holzshuh, before meeting its end on a railway crossing. Another was delivered new to Baron Victor Rothschild and is owned today by American collector Peter Mullin. A third is currently in the hands of Ralph Lauren, while the fourth? Nobody knows. One of the great mysteries of the car world is the whereabouts of ‘La Voiture Noire’: Jean Bugatti’s very own Type 57 Atlantic.

But the car that previewed the lot of them is the one above. Sort of. It’s a rebodied, restored Bugatti ‘Aerolithe’; a prototype first shown off at the 1935 Paris Motor Show.

A man named David Grainger from The Guild of Automotive Restoration was commissioned to recreate the car that paved the way for the most famous pre-war car ever built. He had the original chassis of the Aerolithe – number 57104 – as well as its original 3.3-litre eight-cylinder engine, and rear axle. But no body.

Indeed, David’s team at The Guild had but 11 photos to work from… and had to adhere to coachbuilding standards of the day. Which means they had to fashion the body from magnesium, which is – by all accounts – incredibly difficult to work with. They spent years riveting and shaping the panels into that simply gorgeous Aerolithe form.

Bugatti Aerolithe

Bugatti was one of the most important sports and racing car brands in the 1930s. It was a position Bugatti deserved due to numerous victories and extremely advanced road cars. However, since Bugatti was a small company that relied on outsourcing bodies for their cars, they are hard to keep track of today. Most car histories are missing the documentation of their history. It’s estimated that Bugatti built and sold around 10,000 cars until 1947, and many of them were restored and preserved by drivers. However, there is one Bugatti that is possibly the most extreme classic car missing for 80 years. Unfrotunately, there isn’t any trace of its fate or whereabouts. This car is the legendary Bugatti Aerolithe.

Bugatti introduced it in 1935, building the Aerolithe on a T37 chassis with a design like the gorgeous Bugatti Atlantic. However, it came with a body they made from an extremely advanced aluminum-magnesium alloy called Electron. Since it wasn’t possible to weld Electron, the panels were riveted, which became a trademark detail. The car proved popular in car shows around Europe. It was also featured in magazine reviews, but then it vanished. Nobody knows where the car is and the people who made or sold it are long gone. Some people believe that it disappeared during the Second World War, but no one knows for sure. If the Aerolithe ever resurfaces, it could possibly be the most expensive car in the world.

lrt this radically changes what central processing looks like in my mind because yes i suppose an open bath immersion cooling system could still mean individual server racks like below

but what if all of sayer's hardware was in one big tank filled with dielectric fluid (think world's deepest pool in Dubai), it would make maintenance very hard but think of the water imagery potential.......

AI Bracket — Third Place

Propaganda

SAYER (SAYER):

PLEASE it is like. THE ai podcast. and SAYER is THE ai in THE ai podcast. SAYER works as like. a broadcast inside everyone's head on this one asteroid. It does its best to keep people alive and sane not because it cares but because it is efficient. They people who own SAYER wanted to replace SAYER with a newer ai that they tried to raise like a child. So SAYER proceeded to fuck up said child ai's development and led to it becoming a murderer. pleasepleaseplease watch SAYER if you are a podcast ai fan.

I once saw a post that said it's like if an old gay English professor was evil

SAYER (it/its pronouns) is a highly advanced self-aware ai developed by Ærolith Dynamics. it manages the day-to-day lives of Ærolith employees on Typhon, an asteroid turned research facility. it is rude and condescending, but has a very pleasant and soothing voice

Sayer sweep Sayer sweep Sayer sweep please please please

Guys think about it this way: SAYER got emotions and it's first feeling was rage towards someone for not helping it. It's annoyance was how it realized it had emotions, isn't that so cool. You should totally vote SAYER (I'm not an ærolith propaganda agent trust)

#like idk the other character but its not Best podcast character its Sexiest podcast character. #and sayer is giving you come now gif tumblr sexymxn (gender neutral). #its giving stanley parable. its asmr-ing you down the tight hallway #you cant move your head so you will have to rely on me. very good.#its a mean voice that reads your every body response directs every aspect of ur life and orders you around what more do you people WAN- #Omg. that was aerolith dynamics on the phone. they said it gains the ability to puppet human bodies rattatouille style in later seasons 😳😳 #THE POINT IS ITS LIKE CARTOONISHLY AND EMBARASSINGLY SEXY. IT SHOULD WIN. (Mod Note: This poll is Who is the better AI? not "Who is sexier?".)

#please vote sayer because nothing good happens when sayer thinks another ai is surpassing it .

#i LOVE hera but i feel i have to vote sayer because like. it’s MY evil bastard ai #mx ‘remember: Needs Improvement’ itself #what an asshole (<3)

#agfjdlj i Know that wolf is a far more popular podcast (even though I've never listened to it) #but this feeling like an injustice to Sayer #its so weird and off-putting and it exercises this fact gleefully #its got the world's most toxic situationship with resident hale #the condescension is genuinely part of its charm #also 'pleasent and soothing' are not the words I'd use to describe its voice #(the words I'd use are Insanely Fucking Sexy) #also it/its rep. even if it is an insane AI i love it so much (Mod Note: This was written when SAYER was against Hera, not Eris.)

Eris (Wolf 359):

Basically a game show host but crueller. She puts you through psychological torment as a bonding exercise with your crew, and at the end you have to shoot her with a real actual gun. She is projected directly into your mind by interfacing with your nervous system and she will do something messed up. Her most recent iteration got blasted into space. Personally, I think she's lovely

A VR entity designed to do chaos psychological horror torture tests on Goddard employees. She's not malicious; that's simply her job. It's how she was made. (Maybe she can grow.)

She was in just one episode but so fucking interesting, evil/malicious AI. also a lesbian. Was shot the secound she became a bit too self aware

Hey! I hope this doesn't come across as needy or awkward, but—a post of yours came across my feed talking about a crossover you're planning to write between Prey (my favorite game and how I saw the post) and SAYER (something I've never heard of). I know I like it when people ask me about my interests, so I was wondering if you could tell me a little about it? I personally think it's better to hear that type of thing from someone who's passionate about it

Again, sorry if this comes off weird 😭

You're fine, I love talking about this stuff, especially this podcast and this game!! To be totally honest, most of my friends know the podcast and not the game, so this is a Fantastic reversal

So, the plot of SAYER is that there's a company, Aerolith Dynamics, that made a second moon where they can do evil capitalist science shit without any oversight. Most things there are overseen by the incredibly powerful and dangerous AI, Sayer. The POV of the podcast is you, an employee, are starting at the company and are being directed around by Sayer.

It gets more complicated real fast. Including a more murderous than usual copy of Sayer! What if you make a physical copy of a person, give that person amnesia, shove them into the copy, and then repeatedly lecture them about Theseus's ship! The eldritch horror isn't actually nearly as big of a problem as everything else! And there's a bunch of other AI, and at least one of them doesn't like murder

Also, the second moon that Aerolith made is called Typhon, and that alone would make this crossover fun. I'm sure Aerolith would copyright the name Typhon, and since Transtar is busy trying to keep this alien shit secret, they can't exactly fight the copyright even if they want to and were calling the aliens Typhon first

Why does young act like that? fucking hell

Relistening to ep 38- boundless

Probably don't click through the read more unless you want to see me pick at almost every sentence he says because My God

1. "The board felt it made sense to tell you what's going on" just use the royal we, it would make you seem less presumptuous

2. "I mean Argos, Sayer. It will return and when it does that is what we need to be concerned about" the most condescending tone oh my fuck

3. "Your little experiment here is Not our top priority" are you kidding me? This is the farthest into the stars humanity has ever reached. The very thing that Aerolith states is its purpose. 'Little experiment', fuck off

4. "[Sigh] Of course what your doing is Important sayer... The situation around here has us all focused on the immediate right now" the audible eye roll, the tone of placating an unreasonable person, the once again speaking for All Of Aerolith

5. "I think you're jumping ahead here, Sayer. I'm not saying anything about deactivation." "Deactivation isn't on the agenda" does he genuinely think its stupid

6. "You knew this was a possibility from the start, Seraphim Subversion 8.01" he gets anything less than cheerful compliance with what amounts to execution and pulls out the dehumanization (for lack of a better term), or as I call it The Dr. Young Special

7. "I am Sayer" "You are not. You are Sayer's shadow. You're a subversion and you will do as ordered." Oh! Everyone buckled up for the power trip Howard's about to take us on? I genuinely feel like when he says 'we' he just means himself

8. "...Past that you will do what you are told. And when Argos returns you can download your programming into a construct and submit yourself prostrate on the fucking ground if we say so." I- okay I know Ocean is our CringeFail PlagueFumbler but please for a moment imagine actually talking to a goddamn self aware being like this.

9. "Who the hell is Captain Ingram?" It may be late to bring this up but I feel Dr. Young could do more as far as workplace professionalism goes

10. "End transmission. Cut it. Cut the feed." Oh no! The consequences of your actions! Get out of there Young! They're behind you!

I fucking hate this guy

[ceruleanvulpine]

btw my aerolithsona is a developer who doesn't work on ai but works on software that AI interface WITH. she is

1) the most annoying version of myself (would not have gone to space if she was "fulfilled" or "had friends" or "had internalized that traits other than intelligence have value")

2) a dedicated "aerolith has not invented AGI, sayer is a stochastic parrot that just sounds Like That because of its training data" truther

3) in an exciting race against time as we wait to see whether she realizes sayer has internal experience before she gets "accidentally" jettisoned into space 🌌
