Well, it's more like a person than Homosapien.

Didn't that actually happen? Like I may be mistaken but I thought like some computer tried to make illegal moves in the USSR.

@@Tula-cs1ef i know of the fake mechanical man that would cheat at chess but i'm not sure of any during the ussr.

@@Orchidbeetle most likely more bs spread around to make Russia etc seem more like a “giant gas station” which is actually sad because without them the world would fall just like without the US

Gary casperov accused deep mind of having a person actually operating it. That may be what you're thinking of.

Alright, I will put it on my list!

It would, I believe some Mr Handys are sentient like Codsworth and a great one is the Shooting Range Attendant in 76. He tells you that he knows the world is blown up, but he has to stay put because of his programming. Most of them though are just doing whatever they were programed to before the war.

@@Blubbstock ADA would definitely be a good topic to bring up in the video! Especially since she often gets into the details about the nature of her programming.

@@Blubbstock ​ jezebel and the robots in far harbor vault are just brains in a robot body, so kinda cheating regarding sentience.

@@Blubbstock the contrast of KL-E-0, Ironsides and Ada is interesting, as it shows how self-awareness in more standard robots can form in a variety of ways. KL-E-0's independent streak was the result of what I can only describe as a logic loophole, similar to Jezebel's reasoning for killing people in Automatron. Ironsides was the result of data corruption due to frequent overheating, which freed him from his more restrictive programming. Ada simply had advanced personality modules installed in her, then made permanently enabled by Jackson.

man the writing of the first game was so good

I wouldn't be surprised if the last one was made canonical for Appalachia residents decades after Fallout 76 started. Not only does it make sense regarding how legends work in the first place, but it also fits thematically within the setting: Another harrowing tale added to West Virginia's long list of harrowing tales.

Apparently! Does he have to try and kill me still though?

The ghoul made me laugh, ive never seen that when i played fallout 3.

@@Rad_King It's the only way he knows to show his love and appreciation.

There does seem to be a recurring theme with the robots gaining sentience over years through many ways. Like curie, or the other robots, that have done a fruitless job for so long they go against their programming and, essentially, gained sentience while others can even go psycho in the same situation. Although according to curie it seems a limited state of sentience.

I'd say it is due to their relative lack of Memory space that hampers their ability to truly become sentient As Curie is mostly self-aware but that self-awareness is more pronounced when she has finally inhabits a Synth Body and Mind. Not to mention the programming and fail-safes placed in by Rob-Co or General Atomics. Though what really seems to push them over into Limited Sentience is doing something that is Against their Programming. Example being Curie's terminal, at the insistence of the doctor, Curie has a personal terminal, which she said she cannot have as it is a violation, due to robots being property and thus property cannot own property, yet she is given the in terminal anyway and has multiple entries, thus she is violating her programming and that may have been the first step to Sentience. Codsworth may seemed to have just been at the Sole Survivor's home for 210 years, but as stated in an Affinity Talk, Codsworth went to the Vault Entrance to see if they had lived or perished, then while doing chores, even hoped that perhaps they, their spouse, Shaun, or even Shaun's Children may resurface. Thus, the fruitless maintenance became more of a coping mechanism for him instead of just being programmed routines. The violation being leaving the designated home area to go to the Vault Entrance and the nearby Concord, which lead to hopeful coping.

@@madmatt1998 I think if left alone codsworth really would have gone insane and hostile, and as far as curie I think everything should be taken with a grain of salt comparing her to others tbh. A lot of her story seems to be "truth by perspective" in the sense that it could be her personal truth with heavy personal bias, as well as her possibly wanting to be human more than anything, because to her the goal of best scientist and human are hand in hand with a rather anti scientific conclusion of the undone cannot be done. But unless she's a supercomputer that doesnt move or fractioning her memory like dima she will always have similar limits, she will never be able to take in all the data. If shes really human she will likely forget to make space for new, her reasoning just isnt all there to me in a beating around the bush way. But makes me wonder if there's a noticable difference in the robots that had their routine broken forcefully or broke it of their own accord, as curie seems a middle ground there. Off the top mr handys seem to have their routine broken and develop far wider range of reactions more than other robots. I wonder if it has to do with the programming to be dedicated to a specific task unlike killing bots, maybe the routine is like a drug to them and it's like being trapped in the body of a robotic heroin junkie suffering permanent mental withdrawal.

@@TheGanjologist An equally valid point. There's also the factor of the "Personality Mode" as Codsworth and Curie, and even Ada from Atomatron and Miss Edna from the Diamond City Schoolhouse seem to be more self-aware than other robots as they have what seems to be a personality mode that was switched on. Obviously this is not confirmed in Codsworth's, Curie's, or Edna's case, however based on how Codsworth treats the Sole Survivor in the prologue, we can assume he's got personality on by default upon first booting, Curie as well to make her a more pleasant assistant in the experiments, and Miss Edna to make her a more Pleasant Teacher. There's also a detail I discovered in my latest playthrough, that if you go out of your way to avoid the main story of the game, in which I avoided Sanctuary and Concord to not get the Minutemen Quests started as I want to do Nuka-World first, when you do eventually get Codsworth, he will start with a NEGATIVE opinion on the Sole Survivor, I know because I did a few things he liked and it flashed "Codsworth Tolerates You" which means Neutral Affinity.

@@madmatt1998 even ED-E might have personality mode on. I think he only beeps because he was damaged. I dont think the military mr handys had it, and although they break routine theyre pretty much all hostile unless it has an owner. But even they have weird cases. Like the one that you can talk your way out of conflict with. Most places with a receptionist handy or servants I assume have personality mode. They are initially neutral, it's really only because they want you to do something to satisfy their programming tho and they're often still in a state of not really recognizing the world. That said, the custom personalities could be a factor, but I'm more inclined to think that's just there for lore cop out purposes. It's like time travel. Somebody asks a question after the fact you cant rationalize an answer to? "It's because time travel". So in essence, that's exactly what the answer is to every unanswered question. And at the same time, it's likely not lol

His idle flavor dialog shows he reads through his programming and understand the code. Maybe he can edit it too?

rimmer lister and Kryten are all names he has voice lines for

@@aparrotformrpoirot8906 I know my next characters name then

I always liked that idea in star wars as well. Basically the longer a Droid goes without having its memory wipped the more sentient it becomes. I think it's the inspiration behind why r-2 is so quirky compared to other droids.

@@sethwinters3556 That's basically what happened with Robobrains in the Fallout universe, and Gen 3 Synths in the Institute as well.

*confused beeping*

Eyebots also existed in Fallout 1 and 2, and have a prototype model on display at the Repconn HQ in New Vegas.

Also the place you find the rare plasma rifle in fallout nv. It has pre war exhibits of early ones

@@surprisedchar2458 those are floating eyes I think they were called probably simpler like comparing the OtterBox that's just a computer with blades on it to the pods you can find in the Sierra Madre and Eddie would be equal to the OtterBox in the sink

The game clearly tells you that ed-e was remote scanned from the divide and the eye bots were recently manufactured and there was apparently some pretty advanced manufacturing capabilities somewhere in the divide.

I've always believed that if a machine becomes sentient, it will simply be a product of its environment.

I always felt it was unrealistic to assume an AI would become evil by default, I think that speaks to human paranoia more than anything else

Abby someone. Abby who? Abby normal.

​@hellspawn22001 one of my favorite scenes. 😁👍

@@Rad_King love to see a KZfaq that interacts with his fans

Love to hear it, lots more to come!

All of the Big Mt. Sink personalities are kinda at a point of contention, as the Sink CIU says, “All modules in this habitat are synthetic personalities atop a mundane operating system. There is no intelligence here, sir.”

@@fib900 that is what *they say*, but it isn't necessarily the *reality*. Most people forget this, but bot everything every NPC says in the Fallout series is true. Sometimes, they could be misinformed. The ending slides for the SINK disprove the dialouge line

@@fib900 I don’t think it’s beyond Mobius to create a runaway A.I. Most of the Sinks A.I. go well beyond the original definition of their purpose in the endings. Many don’t seem too concerned by Asimov’s laws either. With what we learn of him later, he could’ve easily forgotten he made legitimate artificial sentience. Simply providing the Sink with the “no true intelligence” line as he assumed the feat was beyond him. We see multiple examples in both 1 and 2, lines of code in Fallout seem to work different than the rules of our reality. There’s multiple examples of A.I. going bonkers from being left alone for too long. Then we get to Fallout 4 and a ghoul child can entertain themselves for 200 years.

@@fib900 yeah but the sink is the noted stuck up jerk the other sink is also snooty the light switch is bigger the toaster is insane the Auto Doc is pretty chill the Jukebox is a radio DJ muggy is muggy and then there's the bottle logical research station

Glad you’re here, you bet I’ll be covering the creatures soon!

Thank you! There is always progress to be made, but thanks for the nice words ☺️

Glad I can help with the workday!

I mean you wouldn't like it if you give people stuff then after all sharing is something communist dude I am chattering should not eat ice cream in winter

IM NOT EVEN SWEATING

Also "Hunt Master" is the English translation of "Jäger Meister"

And what a glorious five seconds it will be. I love the classic plasma pistol so much.

I'm assuming the Glock AI thing is a simple joke as it doesn't get referenced ever again after Fallout Tactics; Not even New Vegas mentions it despite the classic Plasma Pistol popping up in New Vegas.

Thanks you!

Welcome :)

It would be based more on our modern understanding/use, so it will be included in the next video.

@@Rad_King what about Kleo?

Feel the warmth

Agreed

Fun fact: the plot of Fallout Van Bueren included an AI that tracked and hunted the player

Completely agree. I also think the implications of having such an advanced AI hobbled by inferior hardware super interesting (like skynet being transferred to a non cybernetic brain).

Yeah being downloaded in to a human brain must be wild for an AI. In some ways they'd view it as limiting but in an other they could see is as liberating, to be free of mechanical thought. Just the idea of being distracted by a memory or having to sleep must be alian to an AI. Makes me think about Mr. Handys like Curie from fallout 4. Sure it was a custom lab assistant model, but like all other Handy models it wasn't sentient. What's that like for a non sentient program to run on a human brain?

💚

There’s some good stuff!

@@Rad_King it definitely deserves a chance from anyone who liked fo4 and even fo3 I would say. Heck, it even has some call backs to the original games iirc
