In base four, I'M FINE

[ultranos]

Here's a terrible idea: listening to GLaDOS's dialogue on repeat, in an effort to understand crazy AIs. I'm not sure if there's a better way to get into RepliCarter's head, other than smashing my head against a wall.

*grumbles about metal spiders taking over my brain*

does that help with understanding crazy ASIC interposers and modules too?

As long as it doesn't have access to deadly neurotoxin.

[windstar127.livejournal.com]

no, but it does have access to about 7amps coming off a 30V power supply.

Well, crap. We're doomed.

*mock-glares at you*
...I'm going to need an icon, aren't I?

[abyssinia4077.livejournal.com]

I have screen caps...

[ultranos-fic.livejournal.com]

So you mentioned before...

[abyssinia4077.livejournal.com]

requests?

"Replicators" is too broad, isn't it? :)

Decent shots of RepliCarter, the lego spiders, in various states, would be good. (I'll probably end up using them lots.)

hmmm, actually, you know, I got all of mine from either Stargate Caps (http://www.stargatecaps.com/) or Dedicated to Stargate (http://www.stargatesg1971.com/) and mostly the second (first is better for SGA though) - might be easiest for you to poke around there and see what you like.

Careful. Addictive.

I am so doomed, aren't I?

I hope it helps some - maybe read The Terminal Experiment by Robert Sawyer...a man creates three computer (program) copies of himself -
I remember one of them was Immortal (with no fear of death, and no prospect of dying)...but not the distinguishing features of the other two.

...but then he needs to figure out which of them (since they are limited to an online existance, no physical self) committed a murder.

[ultranos-fic.livejournal.com]

Hm, that sounds really interesting. I'll have to check it out.

(I'm generally now always on the lookout for new things to read, so basically book recommendations always make me perk up and pay attention.)

...or just write RepliCarter as Sam, only without her being resricted by the USAF guidelines. (half the Sam/Jack fic out there, then) ;)

[ultranos-fic.livejournal.com]

*snerk* There is always that, but it sort of lacks a certain...elegance? Is that the word I want?

Plus, hey, listening it GLaDOS on repeat is wonderfully creepy, and I'll take whatever excuse I can get. :)

[rodlox.livejournal.com]

well, its not just the Jack element, or the you-must-keep-your-hair-this-short element...think of how often Sam's had to ask permission to obtain something, or to run an experiment (even if Hammond inevitably says okay to it)...RepliCarter doesn't need anyone's permission. (approval? that's probably another story)

what is GLaDOS ?

[ultranos-fic.livejournal.com]

That's true. I've always kind of seen RepliCarter as Sam without the breaks put on. Which is a rather scary interpretation of both of them. You're right in that RepliCarter doesn't need anyone's permission; she has no boundaries that she can see.

GLaDOS is one of the characters from the video game Portal. She/it is a sentient AI that runs the "test chambers" in this experimental lab. As the game progresses, it becomes more and more obvious that GLaDOS is completely insane and a murderous psychopath. Both the title of the entry and the thing about android hell are quotes from the game.
