@PersistantGamar @probiscuous @Foruko_ Tone policing for fictional characters is crazy is all I'm saying.

it's another sad attempt at self sabotage. Pomni and zooble especially let him know they care for his dumbass so he's trying to prove them wrong by starting shit
vamp@coffindwellers
jax trying to start another fight after what happened in ep6 what the fuck is his problem
English
@spi3lzeug People under the age of 15 should not be able to watch this show on god. Someone dying does not mean they are "thrown away", even if he is truly dead his death will pretty clearly have an impact.
English
The new TACD episode is genuinley awful like what the fuck. They literally just made Caine into AM and destroyed any complexity of his character by making him a cliché badguy before literally throwing him away. It's almost as contrived as the end of Unicorn Warriors Eternal
English
@bakujok3s I mean, breakdown in communication occurs between people all the time. Obviously he wasn't literally human, but he has the capacity to love and to care, and the capacity to suffer, and that makes him a person in my eyes.
English
@LakeSipper but he’s not a person. that’s the very reason that him and the circus members were having a disconnect in the first place. as an ai caine will never be able to understand or comprehend their feelings. it’s why he called them selfish, when they were just sad they couldn’t go home.
English
i might get flack for saying this and just to be clear i like caine as a character a lot unfortunately to me this end for him is kind of fitting. i do not think he could ever peacefully coexist with the others and would continue to live a tortured existence.
English
@LakeSipper @pomnify i mean, NPCs with human emotions, Caine as an AI with human emotions are also very scifi
English
tadc spoilers
I think the digital copy theory has to be right bc wdym her friends just left her unresponsive in an abandoned building with a headset on
English
@S1LLYM0NK3Y @igottoosilly48 That and the neural scans folder on the computer, and how Ragatha entered the circus. In general it's been fairly obvious for a while now.
English
@LakeSipper @igottoosilly48 are people saying its pretty much confirmed because of the ‘mindfiles’ caine mentioned?
English

@thunderbolt5827 @Dankeychoo @50Broo @tellow36104473 @MischiefMakerr @Equilate_ They aren't in our reality. But theoretically an actual sapient AI could be created, even if they never are, in fiction it's possible.
English
@Dankeychoo @LakeSipper @50Broo @tellow36104473 @MischiefMakerr @Equilate_ Twitter users when you tells them that computers aren’t the same thing as living things
English
@heartandstar19 @VAsgore_ People need to play a better game not written by David Cage, like SOMA. Or CrossCode.
English
I will think you are annoying if you call Gummigoo a Character AI boyfriend
Like yes its funny but people use it to shit on him and take away the impact he had on Pomni
And his humanity that he had while being a sentient AI
Idk why people dont treat Sentient Ai good at all
English
@saturniines I mean isn't she supposed to be the everyman protagonist?
English
@images_i_hate2 @Hi_im_Luci666 AM is also a tragic villain who Harlan clearly intended some sympathy for???? Like he's irredeemable, but also miserable and clearly experiences a LOT of emotions.
English
@Hi_im_Luci666 Tragic villain = evil ai (which has no soul, or emotions) who committed fratricide and then proceeded to torture and trap everyone for years... U all would baby AM if i have no mouth and i must scream came out today
English
Didn’t Caine canonically torment a trans char with their own dysphoria like 2 minutes prior to this? I feel no guilt
Marngel 🐸🦫🦎@MarngelRambles
TADC SPOILERS Is it just me or did anyone felt pity for Caine when he realized he got deleted? Despite the torment he brought to the circus members, being instantly killed by an accidental push of a button is such a horrible fate for any character
English
@images_i_hate2 @ITZH4ZARD @Hi_im_Luci666 In real life? Yeah probably. But this is fiction lmao. People would also never be trapped in a digital world.
Also the cast are all neural brainscans of people, not physical humans. So really, are they much different from him?
English
@ITZH4ZARD @Hi_im_Luci666 Except he doesn't because he's an AI which cannot ever have emotions or true sapience
English
@images_i_hate2 @gexmonkey69 @l0st_inl0v3 Yeah, it is bad. He did a bad thing. But it's odd to ignore that he was clearly painted in a sympathetic light.
English
@Gourgeist @aratakaswife I don't know, I think even with SOMA theory there can still be a happy ending. If the circus gang can learn to manipulate the world like Caine did, they could build a world for themselves.
There is still happiness and joy and love in their lives.
English
@aratakaswife I have a feeling that's where this is going yeah. I don't think there's a happy ending in store.

YALL
IS SOMA THEORY FUCKING REAL
English
@habitovin @SliceUnder ????
SOMA theory is literally confirmed after the new episodes? Caine directly refers to their brain scans, as does the code Kinger is looking through.
Caine created the circus, that's why it's dissolving. He didn't create the brain scans, he's just using them.
English
@SliceUnder they didn't even turn gray at the end like literally everything else that caine created either. i liked soma theory too but at this point dont kid yourself
English
@CLFMarx @MarngelRambles Yeah but like, a normal human who feels pain like a human would not be able to then sit down and casually eat a sandwich with the knives still in them and then nonchalantly take them out.
English
@LakeSipper @MarngelRambles Certainly not shrugged it off, I’m sure the pain fades but it definitely hurts in the moment. Like when Pomni got back from Kinger borrowing her she was still shaking from the pain of all the knives in her, but she eventually calmed down.
English

English
@GR4VASTAR_ @snickerolli Yeah, I mean that's kind of what SOMA is about and why it's called SOMA theory haha. Digital copies of people are still people, and you should treat them as such.
I think if they learn how to control the circus, how to shape it, that could be a good ending even if they're copies
English
@LakeSipper @snickerolli I hadn't thought of it that way!
English
STOP BRINGING UP SOMA THEORY OH MY FUCKING GOD
kris / snicker || TADC EP 8 SPOILERS FUUUUUUUUCK@snickerolli
okay so caine absorbed that other ai and created the circus and unintentionally trapped the other humans in there cause he clearly didnt know that could happen (cough cough ragatha getting trapped) so then where the fuck did the code go wrong that they get sucked in by headsets
English
@50Broo @tellow36104473 @MischiefMakerr @Equilate_ It has nothing to do with "pascal's wager for techbros", it's just like a basic human decency? If you create something that can think, that thing deserves care. That was the moral of Frankenstein.
English
English
@GooberInternet @uramokedd So did Kinger, he didn't mean to kill him.
English
@snickerolli Buddy you're gonna have to come to terms with it eventually, it's pretty much confirmed at this point.
But SOMA theory doesn't mean things don't matter. The cast are still individuals who care for each other and whose feelings matter. Isn't that enough?
English
@GR4VASTAR_ @snickerolli No? Because even if they are AI copies, they're still clearly real people who can love and can suffer and deserve compassion.
The point is that whether or not they can escape, whether or not they're "real", they still matter.
English
@snickerolli Would that not completely destroy the point
Why would they make it a theme and repeat it over and over "I'm real" "you're real" "this is real" and make them fake???
Arsehole theory where they're all shit from a butt/lh
English
@probiscuous @Foruko_ He can't hear us? He's not real?
Like I sympathize with Jax, but people don't need to speak softly to him cause he's not listening.
English
@Foruko_ Instead of speaking down to him (which is exactly what he would want you to do btw) you should refer to jax with kinder tones because that is what people who have similar coping mechanism's need.
