Prediction: at least one of them will forget that the sombreros can take voice commands from either of them (or possibly from anyone), and that, like the idiot he is, Ulf gave Sombrero 1 the name Sombrero and one of them will forget to call Sombrero 2 by its number.

I've just realized something ironic - Ulf thought that the existence of a secret mastermind was the only possible explanation for the nuking of Earth being likely. Now, in his attempt to stop it, he's become one.

Not buying the current plotline. An ulf multi-mind smart enough to create a mind virus must also realize how loving stupid religion is.

Sizone posted:Not buying the current plotline. An ulf multi-mind smart enough to create a mind virus must also realize how loving stupid religion is. Ulf isn't smart. His hivemind is powerful, but not clever. There's plenty of examples of that. The whole "replacing leaders with robots" thing for example: once he had the idea, he had the brainpower to implement it, but not the wit to foresee how it could backfire horribly. Another example if that he's able to build a holodisguise sombrero that changes how the wearer's head looks, but forgot about the arms and legs. So the Ulf are perfectly able to solve the problem "how to make religion contagious" without ever asking themselves "is that really a good idea".

I'm beginning to wonder if this is the reason Ulf's doctor whose name I forget tried to kill him -- perhaps he wasn't the first patient she's tried the procedure on, just the first one who successfully escaped. So her control back in the lab will have fed back to her all the awful poo poo that goes down when a brainchipped patient gets loose (presumably from one of his alternative selves who did get loose and go on a posthuman robo-Christianity spree) and she'll maybe have some idea what to do about it. She's certainly an unresolved plot thread and it's interesting that with all his surveillance power Ulf hasn't had any luck tracking her down.

One of the robots is going to kill Aisha for not being a Christian and her martyrdom will make Ulf realized he hosed up bad.

Ulf didn't exactly escape though, he just said "I don't want to be here anymore" until she agreed to let him go.

I think this will end up with Ulf and Aisha on the run from his own robots. Maybe the chip shorts out or something and frees him from the virus, and since he programmed the robots to kill him if he stops being Christian then he has to try and bring down his own crazy regime.

Why didn't she just say something truthful but misleading about the "operation"? I mean, there really is an operation that really will save the world, etc. They're only lie detectors, not mind readers.

Plus, she WOULD die if she didn't have the operation. It's not like she'd become immortal!

Now how many clicks until they run into an Aisha that converted when the first Christian Ulf did, and she starts hijacking things?

Mister Olympus posted:Now how many clicks until they run into an Aisha that converted when the first Christian Ulf did, and she starts hijacking things? That's not how it works, the universe she connects to only splits off from when she hits the button, just like the universe that Ulf connects to only splits off from that 1 week interval time. None of the Ulfs came form before the chip was implanted, and none of the Aishas will have any previous experience different from the Aisha we've been following all the story, only their futures will be different.

I wonder if the new brain-chip will have the same double-every-week timer, or, now that they know about multi-brain thinking, she'll set it to, like, double-every-second or something. Or maybe the double-every-week limit was a practical limitation.

I was confused at first when there were three Aishas, but pressing the button only splits the presser's universe in two (or, more accurately, it only buts two of that presser and that presser alone's possible universes in contact with each other). This seems at first like it'd reduce the rate of growth to one-at-a-time, but if, for example, Aisha B committs to pushing her button twice, she'll split into BA and BB, who will then perform the second press and each split in two, resulting in four Aishas. This leaves one other limited - the chip's unknown limitations. Edit: was using ComicRocket, didn't know about next page. Over ten million Aishas is worth between 23 and 24 Ulf-style doublings. She's playing it relatively safe. But once she masters brains and the chip, there will be nothing to stop her from becoming God. BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Feb 23, 2015 |

Unless merging their minds gives them extra fine motor skills somehow, this seems like a really bad idea. I guess some of them at least had the chance to practice with real brains.

Guessing not because all of them have been stuck in the hospital room requiring surgery on vera to convince the angels to let them escape. e: unless the angels brought them some brains to practice on.

156 Well, that wasn't how I expected Vera to die. I can't even tell whether it was a reaction to what they said ("How dare you not have faith that God will protect us? Clearly you're not a true believer."), or the idea is something like "Kill them while they're still Christian so they go to heaven."
