(+) Philosophy & AI
So what excatly *is* sentience...? Moo brought up the usual definition, namely that of agency, but I argued that rather sentience is a matter of purpose, that sentience is the state of having a purpose, but to conciously decide to alter that purpose to something different.
This then begs the question, where do we draw the line...? Is sentience binary? No not really, but rather it's a gradient & someone can be more or less sentient.
(+) Potential lore spoilers
A sentient is a machine which chose to be something different, while a cephalon is like a sentient rid of things deemed unneeded & leashed to a set purpose. So how could Hunhow use Suda to shield sentients in the void?
We think that it is not so much that they are different, but rather that Hunhow used her as a reference point in regular space, to map the difference in the physical rules. It's not perfect & they still deteriorate, but it's better than nothing.
(+) Potential lore spoilers
First we started discussing what exactly "the void" is, arguing that the closest approximation is likely to be the area just past the event horizonth of a black hole where regular physical laws no longer work, which might also explain why sentients do not function there.
This however begs the question of what AI & sentience is, as well as what makes the difference between a sentient & a cephalon.
On that note, what happens when you play Sanctuary Onslaught with a @maxinered@queer.party & you're both a little weird...? Let me take you for a trip...

It's been 150 days, not of constant farming mind you, though I wish I knew how many runs we've done ^-^;; but we're finally here. ❤️

(~) Kinks / Catch 22
So how does it make sense, to have your kinks out for public view, but at the same time being too awkward to just talk about them...? I don't know, maybe it's just me that's weird...
It's also not that they know, but rather the act of telling. If they find out elsewhere, from art, deduction or a list & then come & ask about it then I have no issue talking about it... I can't say it makes much sense. I can usually sling a few out myself, but then I quickly close up & stop.
(~) Kinks / Catch 22
Still, it's easier to speak to a stranger than it is to a friend too & how does that make sense...? The latter should be the one you trust more.
Many have those kink list things & back in the day I made one too, simply because it's less awkward to simply point & let them read & ask than it is to manually iron everything out every time, an awkwardness that's multiplied with friends.
Still, it's also weird to have your kinks out there for public view just like that somehow.
(~) Kinks / Catch 22
Kinks are an odd thing, how you can be simultaneously not embarrased by having one, but embarrassed that others know.
I find it easy to talk about kinks that you're definitely not into, but when it comes to things you like, especially weirder things, then it gets harder, particularly when it's with a friend whom you never really had anything sexual with before.
It's a catch 22, wanting to talk about something that excites you, but at the same time being too embarrassed to.
(~) Loneliness / Relationship ponderings
I'm an omega, I need an alpha, however aged by life I realise I don't have the spark, nor is my physical form compatible. I feel a decade older than I am and my style matches that. I don't have the style that would attract whom I need, nor am I cool enough to be anything other than me.
I realise that the chance of me finding someone is practically nonexistant, but if I embrace who I am beyond needs, then just maybe. I worry though about being burnt again.
(~) DK politics
We used to have two "leading" parties, one for the rich, one for the workers, but steadily they've become alike & in the process they're both kissing the arse of the local racist party, but more parties have arisen.
So what to do...? Vote.
I'm from Denmark & I'm sure you've all heard of the burka ban. Both these parties voted for, so now I vote against. My vote'll go to the Joker, because he might be a dreamer, but he's a good person. No more of this racist demonising nonsense.
Friday is upon us & it's time for a stream! ^-^ Tonight a bit of casual Pupperframeyness with Mooxie for some Squeaky shenanigans & casual Khora farming.

(~) Symbolism & metaphors / Trans / Visible handicaps
Imagine suffering a visible handicap, to be unable to exist without being tied to visible aids every day and how it is to always be looked at, to always be viewed as your sickness or handicap before being viewed as a person. Then imagine having something that adds to that, but which you could hide away to save yourself additional looks... would you?
Yes, this is a metaphor for being trans and passing. Symbolism is an important tool for me.
