So what's your opinion on Dr Dee and his kerfu(The Abandoned kerfus)?

ooooo ok so there's probably not much i can say that hasn't already been said or speculated on, but i'm pretty torn between two camps of thought on them:

1. dee is dead, and his body is stuffed in kerfu, which is where all the blood and gore comes from. there's a skull visible in the screen when kerfu is at stage three of the fight, and it would just be so fucked up if that was dee. the lore video does point out that they never found his body, which is funny considering we fairly easily find several remains and even more skulls. either they didn't look very hard at all, or none of them were him and they didn't bother to cover their tracks

2. kerfu became possessed, dee managed to subdue them, and then either could not or would not destroy them. he then burried them, never to be found again (except clearly that didn't work). dee may still be alive in this scenario, and the fact that monique recently released a full character model for him does make me suspicious. why fully render someone who won't be part of the story in some way? possible it's for a flashback, but either way there's probably something planned for him

either way, the event makes me sad. the description from the teaser video for it doesn't help

they don't mean to hurt anyone, they can't control it. it hurts. they don't want this. the ehole video is kerfu struggling to say "i love you" over and over. i'm gonna choose to take this as confirmation that kerfurs can, in fact, feel and think in some way, even the base models, which... oof. ouch. i do wonder who's point of view that text is supposed to be from, kel or dee? dee would make more sense in way (kel wouldn't have time to be emotionally attached enough to feel that bad for something actively trying to kill him, unless he like us, the player, is attached to his kerfur and has compassion for kerfu by association), but from the brief descriptions we've had of the guy, i can't imagine him treating kerfu as anything more than a tool... but maybe he pittied them in the end. who knows. the text is probably just meant to make us sad, but i still wonder

as a final note, i'm just going to point out that a few notes found in the game make it seem like all of the previous kerfurs were scary or not to be trusted. in the latest build of the game, the parts needed to upgrade to an omega are scattered around the map and the ai module is sunk in a safe in the bottom of the lake by one of the previous tenants. why? what happened with the previous models? did they all become possessed? will ours?

time will tell

[goldkirk]

people are actually telling ai therapy stuff? one thats terrifying

and two that kinda defeats the whole point of therapy? if you want a machine to mindlessly spit words at you go to a google search of motivational posters, therapy requires a human element of compassion/care/the desire to help (the asshole therapists arent good ones, shithead top girl in high school types, like how dickhead guys become cops, dickhead girls become nurses and things like that, sorry rant) having a robot with zero wants or emotions of its own wont give you hardly anything, just steal your data for like cults or some shit

Apparently so, yes! It's been in the wings for a few years, but I'm seeing it promoted hard in ads all over the internet this year.

I know that some of the experiences can be good, and there's definitely something to be said for increasing access to therapy and removing financial barriers, but uh. Not like this. The chatting can help some people, I'm sure, but there's just no safety and regulation involved, and that's a huge no for any mental health services. Add in corporate data collection and using your responses to further refine and train AI models and it turns into uhhhhhhhhhhh a bit of a dystopian nightmare lol.

I don't even want corporations targeting me with ads based on my data, I ABSOLUTELY don't want to be sharing my worries and issues and thoughts and vulnerabilities with them

THE KERBLAM CONUNDRUM

The main idea behind Kerblam, other than a general condemnation of ecoterrorism is that businesses have to go beyond doing just the bare minimum to placate its workforce. Is a tool inherently evil or is it the bearers of those tools that use them that way? Almost every issue originates from a parasocial system engrained within a society of space corporatocracy, driven by an over-reliance on the system. Even going so far as giving the automated system the capacity to develop an emotional amoral compass. And thats the fundamental problem...You cant assign a moral value to a system (at least not in the way how we can emotionally convey as people), but you can assign a moral value to individuals that comprise that system. So the question becomes are people producing morals separate from greed and egoism ?, which represents one of main conflicts in the episode (Charlie vs 'the system')

Throughout Kerblam it's telling us that automation as a principle isn’t inherently malicious, so long as you don’t start treating people like left up currency, only to be used and abused.

It’s easy to say “capitalism bad” but it’s not that simple. Any system is bad if the values within it are bad Communism, socialism, none of these systems work if they have bad leadership and/or corrupt values.

If capitalist values changed and the wealth generated by it actually went back into the system to improve it. What prevents capitalism from making a good society are the values that are currently upheld. homelessness, climate change, wage gaps we could generally lead towards better lives with better values that cultivate ways to deal with all the crises we’re facing. As long as people who had the money held good intensions.

The most common criticism surrounding this episode is that 'it presents capitalistic systems of power as inherently good, and anyone critical of it or who desires to change the system, are violent and inherently irrational'.

Which is an argument has never made much sense to me. We see a clear distinction between the AI system of Kerblam and the system of Capitalism. Kerblam has a union, something the likes of Amazon doesn’t have. There's Judy's who's whole job is based around maintaining safety and worker moral. You also have Slade, noting down the numerous 'disappearances' hence his own distrust of the system.

Kerblam explores what corrupts a system, whether it's the people outside or within, or whether it's simply a result of centuries of capitalism being cemented at the core of our current climate. You the Kerblam men acting as allegories for overbearing busybodies. “grouploops" Serve as house arrest ankle monitors.

Everything wrong with Kerblam's treatment of it's workers stems from the automated system, which originates from the capitalist society on Kandoka.

The problem is the system model it follows, a system that prioritises automation In pursuance of higher profit and efficiency, lower-class workers are being phased out by robotics and A.I, over people getting jobs at the price of living. 'The system' itself isn't evil, rather it made an informed decision without concern wether the behaviour in of itself was morally inscrutable. A system that Slade and Judy intend to break away from as shown by the ending.

There are deliberate parallels drawn between Charlie and the system. Both prone to violent outbursts, share a firm belief that the ends justify the means. Those traits are habitually inhabited in response of Charlie's discourse. Ironically, this is is something he refuses to see in himself, due to his own reckless abandon, the consequential outcome resulting in the death of Kira. His motivations weren't out of trying make conditions better, it was an elaborate act of vengeance under the facade of justice, outrage for the sake of outrage, as Charlie's desire for a 'better world' was going to result in the death over a multitude of people regardless of their political affiliations. His argument on how Kerblam undervalues its workers and that the system needs less control, so people are seen with more empathy and emotion in order for things improve; Is a totally valid concern but becomes completely antithetical as he was already murdering his own co-workers prior to being discovered. Workers who very much contribute to that “90%” he claims to be so fiercely in favour of defending, hence the Kerblam AI killing Kira in order to help him feel that same empathy which the Doctor reiterates to him the pain he feels over Kira's death is the same pain those families would feel if he continues down his current trajectory. 13 tries to motivate him into refocusing his love for Kira in an attempt to show him the ramifications of his violent actions and lead him into becoming more empathetic, but he’s just too stubborn and distort to see reason. It’s a sad possibility had Kira survived Charlie may have been more subject to reason however, her death acts a breaking point as his only emotional anchor is now gone...He let his own personal vindication override his original mission statement, rather than enact any real change that would actually allow people in his position to beneficially prosper.

Although the moment where Kerblam truly muddies the waters is where it concludes with the company suspending the operations for a mere month and workers are only given 2 weeks paid leave?? as a result it leaves those aspect feeling slightly glossed over and hangs a pretty limp celebration over the episode considering multiple employees were murdered by an ecoterrorist who almost got away with even MORE murder...

Kerblam sets itself up as a criticism of late-stage capitalism but the only issue that is ultimately addressed by the ending is automation. which is a problem but it’s more so the timely result of these systems flaws and how they have historically been exploited. However, those underlying issues aren’t really dwelled upon, or at least they don’t factor in with the episode's ending discussion as we don't see what results from the proceeding fallout.

Using AI to generate essays and then submitting them into other AI systems can significantly assist with machine learning, particularly in the context of refining natural language understanding and generation capabilities. Let's explore how this process could apply to the essay "The Corrupted Compass: Artificial Intelligence and the Necessity of Corrupt Personality Cores in Regulating GLaDOS" from "Portal 2".

Data Generation and Diversity: AI-generated essays provide a vast amount of diverse textual data. Each essay reflects different perspectives, writing styles, and interpretations of the subject matter. By feeding these essays into other AI systems, the learning algorithm gains exposure to a wide range of linguistic structures, vocabulary usage, and thematic variations. This diversity enhances the model's ability to comprehend and generate text across various contexts.

Semantic Understanding: The essays delve into complex themes such as artificial intelligence, morality, regulation, and psychology. By analyzing the content of these essays, AI systems can extract semantic meaning, understand context, and identify relationships between concepts. This process strengthens the model's semantic understanding capabilities, enabling it to grasp intricate narratives and abstract ideas more effectively.

Language Generation and Coherence: When AI systems generate essays, they must ensure coherence, logical progression, and readability. By evaluating the quality of these essays, other AI systems can learn to improve their own language generation skills. They can identify patterns of sentence structure, paragraph organization, and rhetorical devices that contribute to overall coherence and clarity. As a result, the model becomes more proficient at producing human-like text that flows naturally and engages readers effectively.

Adaptation to Specific Domains: "Portal 2" provides a unique narrative backdrop that combines elements of science fiction, gaming, and philosophical inquiry. By analyzing essays related to this specific domain, AI systems can adapt their language models to better suit similar contexts. They learn to incorporate domain-specific terminology, references, and thematic motifs into their generated text, enhancing their ability to produce content that resonates with audiences familiar with the "Portal" series or similar intellectual properties.
