Linking

[SheikhJahbooty]

Am I an excessive linker?

I notice that I link a lot, not just here, and not just in the RPG Laboratory, but like, everywhere.

Here, for example,

Maybe if I link enough things to enough other things, the internet will become self aware, and it will really like slick compelling RPGs.

The internet becoming self aware, thats a scary thought

[Chainsaw Aardvark]

Even scarier thought: The internet has no endocrine system, not hormones, no fight or flight response or other animal demands as we know them. As such, it would be completely alien from any other creature on this planet. It could already be sentient, but so outside our realm of understanding that its inquires have been ignored or misinterpreted.

I for one welcome our new web 2.0 overlords...

All hail, the new god. we're not worthy.

I posted a blog entry a few days ago loosly related to A.I. thats kinda weird.....

Fortunately, the internet does not possess intentionality so we're safe. If you try and argue that the internet is sentient then so is the plastic cup is sentient too.

I'll have you know my plastic cup is remarkibly intelligent (for a cup)

"What is a drop of rain, compared to the storm? What is a thought, compared to a mind? Our unity is full of wonder, which your tiny individualism... cannot even conceive."

"In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that devastate the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well."

The Polito form is dead, insect. Are you afraid? What is it that you fear? The end of your trivial existence? When the history of my glory is written, your species shall only be a footnote to my magnificence

Are you quoting OUR GLORIOUS BENEFACTOR?

You can call me SHODAN.

The idea of a sentient internet becomes especially freaky when one considers both its lack of an endocrine system and the sheer bulk of pornography within it.
