Well it’s not like I made the OG image, I’m not sure who did

like anything else but to someone who doesn’t it’s fun and makes sense.

Invincible is very good with this kind of stuff generally, I find it engages a little more deeply with sci fi ideas than usual superhero stuff. Mind uploading with the mauler twins is another example.

They maintain this velocity even under immense force which gives them all their abilities.

It’s funnily similar to the Protomolecule from the Expanse. Something about it is just intuitively satisfying. Of course if you know anything about physics it probably falls apart just

Matched with you for the same reason. Then you see each other’s profiles as specifying actual character attributes and you take things from there and organize a meetup with which specific sleeves you will use.

I believe it would be more Efficient.

Which is to say, I believe this because I believe it turn consciousness into a much more practical matter than the alternatives. I’m not sure that it is actually a feature of reality however, I simply assume it is because doing so in my eyes is what’s most productive.

I wouldn’t put it that way specifically. I would say that consciousness being medium independent falls out naturally from assuming it must be strictly necessary for certain patterns of behavior, and that assumption is a load bearing one if you want consciousness to be empirically determinable.

I suppose there could be analogs to sex behaviors in AIs that form emergently over time. One example is the practice of model merging, which when you get down to it has some similarity to the horizontal gene transfer you see in certain microbes.

The reason I say this is because I have strong overlap with the former group but given that sex is specifically an evolved capacity it’s hard to see why AIs would have that drive by default, unless someone put it in there intentionally, and that feels icky.

Or maybe the majority of people will simply not give a shit. Like we have aircraft carriers now, and fiction will regularly depict aircraft carriers in very silly ways but almost no one will care.

Perhaps the idiosyncrasies particular to real spaceships as dictated by physical law would be reasonably common knowledge. Maybe unphysical SF settings like those you see now would live on as a kind retrofuturism like fallout.
