    Ok - I've listened to your feedback. I am going to be looking at longer articles of a more serious nature. This marks the beginning of this change. I hope you like it!
    PS - Thanks again to Lumi for providing her amazing voice work for this one. Much appreciated.

      @Marishi Ten Parts aren't well written, I agree. The AI uses a number of colloquialisms that really break immersion for me.
      But that line is not one of them. The parameters passed to the AI are, presumably, to waken the anomaly and ensure it acts in the foundation's best interests. Upon seeing a particular line of inquiry may cause anger, thus jeopardizing one of the AI's assigned goals, it changed tactics.
      What about that is unlike a computer?

    • @psyshock253
      @psyshock253 3 ปีที่แล้ว +123

      @Marishi Ten the point of that line and the implied threat is that the ai itself is just an intermediary between the new gaia and the foundation, what that really was was the foundation itself getting intimidated, not the ai.

Therefore, by sustaining another Operation Styx having this in mind, then the box can be opened again so we can have again interaction with dragons... although I read a theory this is the place where the faeries might have come and since we almost eradicate them, I don't think it will be wise to reopen the gate again just to play with Pete's Dragon.

      The AI, known colloquially as "The Volgun", is a Narrative-Driven AI developed at Site 19 by Dr. [REDACTED].
      The AI presents fictional SCP narratives, in the form of a mock briefing on the video platform TH-cam. This is meant to inject disinformation, while simultaneously placating the imaginations of curious civilians.
      In order to achieve this the AI integrates multiple personas to give the illusion it is, in fact, a physical being.
      The AI's primary persona is that of a "Dr. Miller", a researcher of the SCP foundation who presents the false SCP briefing. Its secondary persona is a TH-cam personality from a fictitious country located in Europe, "Aaron [Data Expunged]"

    I like the fact that even with the time dilation it takes Natasha a few subjective seconds to get authorization to pull up the files. It kind of implies that even for a Foundation AI assigned to a critical project and with all the proper clearances, getting through Foundation infosec can take hours. Nice little character beat for the Foundation itself.

    • @starmanexe7721
      @starmanexe7721 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Its particularly interesting when you realize that Natasha has to get authorization from the O5 council itself, a process that within the Foundation can take several weeks.
      The fact it only takes Natasha a few seconds is not a reference to her speed, or the readiness of the 05s: its a reference to the fact that their entire conversation takes place over the span of many months, due to the fact that the new Gaia processes thoughts very slowly.

      The right is far too concerned with finance and the fossil fuel status quo. The left is all about virtue signalling and shitting on the west.
      One thing we would need to do is embrace nuclear as a bridge between fossil fuels and fully green energy. But both sides are completely ignorant on the subject and so demonize it based largely on freak accidents at antiquated sites which were negligently maintained. Fukushima was also in a terrible location with sea walls which were far too low. It would be laughable if it weren't so tragic.

      While I am totally down for excellent productions such as this, I think the end goals are different. I watch/listen to TES a lot, and most of his vids easily go past the 25 minutes mark. Not everyone is fond of such long content, and animating all of it would take a lot of work and time. Not that it can't be done, but I think the goal of these short animations is to give a brief introduction or a resumed version. Like, if they manage to get a number of peeps hooked up and curious, chances are they'll go to the wiki check the full version.
