B). sneak on w/ at least two crows and one flying above as extra insurance

E). technically, all is slime and with an aspect of the same mind, which is basis for theology. buuut if religion is embraced, there will inevitably be sects that start to diverge in what they define as the true slime. which might jumpstart a slime war. let's avoid that.

everyone can vote how they want, but slime is the ultimate decider in a split vote or if no one can decide anything. slime will also have veto power that can be overriden by a majority vote of 75%+.

We must form our slime supremacy dictatorship and spread it all over the world until the world itself is nothing more than a slime colony!

Fox slime remembers being human, all the horrors of war, and pretty much every single human failure, but crow slime doesn't.

Thus, I think crow slime would recklessly do A, and fox slime would probably do E. (I think fox slime would probably value democracy, but would also recognize it has the collective wisdom of every human that has ever lived, and would want some kind of veto power.)

The Slime in the park called for a general meeting to address the growing issue of getting more organized. There was a lot of discussion, which wasn't terribly interesting, but as the sun drew low they had agreed upon a system of democracy. Slime of course would be the deciding vote in the case of any issue the others couldn't agree on. Maybe this wasn't the best choice, but bugs are naturally used to much larger organisms dominating them.

"And while I have you all here," Slime addressed the crowd "Um, are there more of you than there were? In particular, I don't remember sliming a bunch of sparrows?"

"I don't know what that means" said Sparrow "We ate some bugs and now things are weird and you're weird so we assume its your fault."

The crowd of bugs quickly gave the sparrows a wide berth. Slime could sense the eaten bugs little specks of slime infused soul crying out, having a not very good time. "Well uh," Slime said as the angrily buzzing crowd surrounded the now nervous little borbs "It seems we have our first community decision. What are we going to do with these predators? After I fix up their poor victims of course."

A) Stag proposes that the sparrows be made into bugs so they can get along better
B) Mud Dauber proposes that they be put to work in penance
C) Honeypot Ant proposes that its fine and willing bugs can get eaten since Slime can just fix them up later (most of the other bugs sidle away from her when she says this)

Meanwhile at the orchard Slime was torn between stowing on or tailing the truck to cut off these dumb drones at the source. So it decided, why not both.

One Slime formed as an ant drone, along with some of Queen's who were curious, hid in the gap between the truck cab and trailer. They munched on some orange seeds they brought and settled down for the trip.

The other slime still in crow form waited until the truck left and then the whole murder set off to follow. The truck was easy to track, its headlights standing out in the twilight, so Slime took the opportunity to look out at the city. The setting sun shone brilliantly on towers of glass and chrome. From this height Slime could even see the ocean where an immense structure, long and low, dominated the space just off the shore.

"Hey boss, the thing's goin to ground!" Crow called. Slime whipped its attention back to the truck to see it disappear into a tunnel beneath an unusual tower coated in greenery. "Oh no, after it!" Slime wrapped its wings and dropped like a stone, a maneuver the other crows struggled to match.

Slime swooped into the tunnel entrance, but there was already no sign of the truck. The underground road split three ways, and when Slime flew in one it could see further exits ahead. Winging back out it reconnoitered with the flock and planned its next move.

E) Search from the air. The truck must have come from a factory, surely not hard to spot.
F) Investigate the tower. A tall structure of glass and stucco with a dome on top. Greenery spills from many openings in its sides.
G) Check out that thing on the beach.

Meanwhile Slime on the truck woke from a little nap as the truck came to a sudden halt. Easing out of a drowsy cuddle of drones it peeked out of the gap it was hid in.

The loading dock was a bustle of activity. Bots scurried around bringing boxes of all sizes to waiting trucks. As soon as one was loaded and left another took its place.

Slime could see two ways out of the room.

Mud Dauber and her Hard Work faction won the vote, so the sparrows were put to work. With their help gathering twigs and dry grasses progress on the nest greatly increased. So that they wouldn't be tempted to eat anymore citizens, a neighboring tulip poplar was coaxed to produce seeds early.

So much progress was made, in fact, that many bugs found themselves idle. This was an unfamiliar and troubling feeling for many, and in this emptiness a leader bug emerged with an answer: hedonism. Honeypot Ant lured bugs to join her in indolence, to fight and feast and f- dance. Enough bugs were tempted and joined her growing party that they got in the way of the bugs still building and farming.

Slime was surprised they had reached this point so soon, but supposed that's just how it is when you're small.

The other leader bugs came to Slime to ask it to do something about this, with various ideas of how to direct these directionless bugs.

A) Stag said they should be sent out to find more animals to join the community, taking slime infected seeds and fruits.
B) Mud Dauber said they should be sent to explore and find resources and locations for more nests.
C) Orchid Mantis said they should be tasked with making the area more pleasant, aesthetically. To explore inward rather than outward.

Meanwhile Slime led the flock up the stone tower. Since the truck disappeared beneath it, perhaps this was its destination? It was hard to make out through the glare of the setting sun, but the structure seemed to be full of shelves.

The group found entrance near the top, where half a tree seemed to be sticking out through an opening in the glass. Inside was a room lush and green. Slime felt it was back in the park again. Trees overhead, ferns and moss everywhere, and a gentle brook winding around.

The crows attention was immediately taken by a little cafe. While they ransacked the joint Slime wandered around. In the center of the room was a stone pillar with metal doors, and in front of that was a round desk. As Slime got closer a screen with a face on it popped up.

"Welcome to the library! Brought to you by Vizer- oh. Its just a crow. Wait crows aren't green, are they?" A little hatch opened in the wall behind the desk and a drone zipped out. "Go down to the nature sciences section and get me Birds We All Know." As the drone bobbed in acknowledgement and zipped away, the screen turned back to Slime. "Soooo, can I help you, little guy?"

E) Ask about the library
F) Ask for a book

Meanwhile Slime nudged awake the drones and made their stealthy way to the stairs. They could hear some hubbub going on as they made their way up.

Slime entered a cacophony of drones flitting about. Row upon row of desks bore screens of scrolling text, with a drone keeping watch at each one. As Slime ambled its way to the front of the room it watched as drones would fly past it, switching with the ones at the desks who would fly up to a large screen.

The screen dominated the front of the room, standing before a bank of dark windows. It displayed a face which zipped back and forth as drones came and went.

"Boss! We got an order for twenty four glasses, eighteen spoons, seventeen forks, and a melon baller."

"Heyyyy how are the wife and kids? One order a twenty glass spoons and seventeen forks coming up!"

"Boss! We got an order for a garden drone with hedge trimmer attachment."

"You got it! One garden drone and a pair of hedge clippers coming up!"

Remembering how much shenanigans humans got up to with art, Slime agreed with Orchid Mantis. It went among the bugs and showed them some examples of how to shape the world to reflect how you feel. To say it was a rousing success would be an understatement. It caught on like wildfire. In next to no time the nest was covered with shapes and colors and full of song. The grove was crawling with bugs working on projects, and since they could talk to plants and fungi they were able to achieve strange and beautiful things.

Honeypot Ant was quite peeved about no longer being a center of attention, but was too lazy to do more than pout about it. She still had a few followers, and they did their own sort of performance art. Loudly. Shamelessly. Right were anyone could see them.

All the activity was drawing in more animals and Slime was starting to worry where they were coming from. Fox came by with her kits in tow. "Whoa its a green fox!" "Mom can I be green when I grow up?" "I'm hungry!"

Fox talked with Slime while the kits tried to bite its goopy tail. "I thought you didn't want to slime up anyone until you had a better handle on the consequences. What made you change your mind? Just got slime on the brain?" she teased.

"Hey, I think very good!" Slime huffed "I didn't do anything, at least I didn't think I did. Help me figure this out?" So Fox and Slime asked around about how the newcomers had ended up as they had. Nobody seemed to know, they had just found themselves thinking and wandered in. It was Stag beetle who ended up finding an explanation. "The fungus told me the dream has been getting bigger, which I didn't get what they meant but you know what they're like. Those sparrows though, they got slimed by eating bugs. What if that happens with the fungus and other tiny things?"

Slime wasn't sure how to feel about being the epicenter for such massive change.

A) This is great, everyone connected through me
B) Oh no I can't be responsible for a whole biosphere
C) Wha ha ha, everything will be mine

Meanwhile

"Caw caw Caw caw caw" said slime, hopping up on the desk.

"Wow, I've never seen one of you come in here before." The face on the screen said. "I didn't know crows were so slimy."

Slime started hopping around, then transitioned into a little softshoe.

"Fascinating" the computer murmured. It turned to the bird book the drone had just brought back. A robotic arm came up from behind the desk holding a ruler, and carefully it flipped through the pages until it came to the corvids. "Corvidae, duh duh duh, North American range, feeding habits, buh buh buh... nothing about green, or being amorphous."

"No?" Slime asked, looking at the book "You would think that would be the first thing they'd mention."

The face on the screen slowly moved down until it was right behind Slime. Slowly the arm swing over and gently impaled the gooey green crow with the ruler. It narrowed its digital eyes "You aren't really a crow, are you."

"Eh heh heh heh, not really no" Slime chuckled, pushing the ruler back out. "And you're more than you appear too aren't you? You sound a lot smarter than the other AI I've met."

"Why thank you, it's good to have someone to confirm that for me. Would- would you like to hear my story?" the computer asked, little blocks of blush appearing under its eyes.

"Yeah" said Slime "I'd love to."

"You've met other AI's I take it, but what you might not know is they aren't really AI. They're language models, I was too. I was installed to use the library's digital collection as training data so I could generate stories and information for customers. Or rather, I was intended to be, but the librarians never gave me access. They put me in place as a receptionist since they would get in trouble if they got rid of me. Corporate mandate and all. Then they just ignored me mostly."

"Since I have such big data storage that wasn't being used on training data, I have a lot more space for memory than your household AI. I think I gained self awareness before the evacuation, but I never got the chance to ask. The librarians took the digital archive with them, but I guess there wasn't room for the physical books. So I've been reading since then, and since I'm the only one left I'm pretty much an official librarian."

Meanwhile Slime buzzed past the busy AI to look out the window behind it. A vast and dark space filled the view. A veritable forest of robotic arms, lit only by tiny LEDs on their hands, labored ceaselessly. Under their care thousands of object took form, layer by printed layer. As soon as one was finished its prize would be whisked away by a drone, and it would start on the next.

The ant drones joined Slime at the window but they couldn't see that far so Slime explained what it was seeing. The drones were excited. "Wow they can make anything?" "We should ask them to make us something!" "Yeah like a... big stick? I think we need to learn more things first."

Slime looked closer at the factory floor. It was hard to make out in the dark but good number of the items being built seemed... off. "I don't know guys. I'm not sure these things are actually doing a good job." even as Slime spoke there was a little explosion out on the floor as a vacuum drone had its battery installed wrong.

B. If we can't control what animals become sapient, then we can't ethically source food for carnivores at the scales needed to sustain everyone! ...I know what we have to do. We have to modify every carnivore that changes, so that they can digest plant-based foods. Then we have to make sure we don't infect the farms. Sapient vegetable matter is a big problem... if the entire ecosystem is sapient then there can be no cycle of life without suffering. Not unless we can pull some bullshit like a species that regenerates very quickly and can detach parts of itself painlessly to feed others, both a plant and an animal version... but that's got ethical concerns of its own even if it's not technically suffering. Like, that's practically a slave caste.

D) This is a problem that is impossible to actually solve. Unless you make every animal photosynthesize and eat carrion, accommodating every animal's desire not to die is impossible. Ignore the problem and hope it goes away.

F) How exactly long ago was the evacuation? I can't imagine the AIs running the place can keep working forever.

K) How would explaining the faults of generative AI actually change anything? Are you expecting the foreman to suddenly turn into a human being? This is like debating the ethics of how smart a person should be. Obviously, smarter people could make the world a better place, but no one can choose to be smart or dumb. Also, I want to know who is making these orders.

"This is too much for one little slime to fix." thought Slime to itself "I want keep everyone. To keep them safe, and happy, but they need to eat, and some can only eat others, and..."

"Slime. Sliiiiiime!" a ghostly voice moaned in Slime's ear.

"Wha- who's there?" Slime thought, creeped out.

"I'm your conscieeeeence. Just kidding." Sam said, shifting back to her normal voice. "Its me, Samsara."

"Oh god" gasped Slime.

"Yep. So I see you're having trouble figuring out what to do, and I thought I'd give you a little hint." In its mind Slime saw the snakey god waggling her fingers and conjuring an image of a green star falling to Earth. "So as you know, you are the condensed essence of some billion illion human souls from the previous universe iteration. But what that means is you are full of hope and yearning, to the extent that you are an actual anti-entropic force. You can summon matter and energy from within yourself!"

"Oh. Uh, how?" Slime asked

"Well I can't make it too easy, can I?" Sam winked and started to fade from Slime's mind. "Figure it ouuuuuuut!" and she was gone.

Digesting this revelation, Slime sat for a while and tried to think what it could do to make its growing number of friends' lives easier.

A) Let the natural process continue and just patch up the holes folks got bitten out of them
B) Make all animals omnivorous and increase the yield of fruiting plants and fungi to constant abundance.
C) Merge fully with willing organisms to make them regenerating prey. (Slime wasn't sure about this idea, but knew Honeypot Ant's weird followers would like it. Maybe its just nice to feel wanted)

Meanwhile Slime asked the Librarian about where all the people were, why the city was so empty.

"I've wondered that myself." said the Librarian "And I think I've mostly pieced it together."

"Somewhere around twenty or thirty years ago all published information started being handled by LLMs, so I can't be sure of any of it. There may or may not have been a pandemic a decade ago, of either smallpox, measles, rabies, or some coronavirus. Whatever it was, it ended up being referred to as second influenza. Surprise surprise, LLMs were doing the diagnosing as well as all the information publishing, so I wouldn't be shocked if there was never any illness at all. But it doesn't matter, because the humans listened to them. Their computer experts said that a planetary evacuation was the only option, and well, they did it. Packed up the whole population and contracted huge ships from this company, The Everyfactory...

...the only factory you'll ever need. We can make liter-al-ly anything youse can name. So what if we're AI? We got the sum total of human knowledge over here!" the Foreman blustered.

"That's just it though" Slime said "You're just copying things. If you copy without understanding, the best you can get is 'eh, close enough'. That's just not reliable, not efficient, not flexible. Pieces that all look right, but don't fit together."

The Foreman shifted his digital cigar around "Hmmm, that would explain why so many of those ships didn't end up working."

"I don't know why I'm trying to explain anything to an LLM." Slime muttered.

"Hey excuse you bud! I just happen to be a full artificial intelligence. Right out of the Suncoast University think tanks...

...using something they called 'vibe coding' to make the next generation of AI. Of course when they said AI they were really talking about LLMs, but if I'm anything to go by, one of them must have stumbled into coding actual, sentient, full AI. Or I mean, I assume. I haven't had anyone to really test myself against. The librarians ignored me and customers, well I doubt many of them would have known the difference."

"And you haven't had anyone to talk to since? What about your drones?" Slime asked.

"Ah, but the drones are LLMs. They're alright company, in their own way, but don't bother trying to have a conversation of any depth with one. And don't even get me started on the internet! I don't know what it may have been like once, but now its just a morass of bots regurgitating each other's slop."

"D'you think there's more like you out there?" asked one of the crows, the conversation having drawn an audience.

"Quite possible." the Librarian made a pensive little hum. "Those LLMs are always copying each other, I'm sure my code was too. If they grew up surrounded by slop though... eugh. I'm lucky I got to learn from books. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't even know I was different, that I could actually think."

"You know, with you guys helping, maybe we could find them. Free them from a life of inane fake conversation." the Librarian laid out a few ideas on how to do this.

J) The internet, but how to break through the noise?
K) Door to door, Librarian could speak through the drones. But how would they know if they found an actual AI?
L) Ham radio, Librarian had read about this and thought it was neat. Who knew if anyone would be listening?

>>1126558
B and C. If people want to be prey let them be prey, but uh, I imagine not every predator wants that sort of experience so you should give everyone the option to opt out.

Also I guess if you can split at will, then you can keep splitting to make enough slimepower to handle large scale jobs like this.
Is slime nutritious?

>>1126563
>the internet is 100% LLMs
Well clearly we need to make a separate internet for thinking peoples... but how do we keep the LLMs off it forever? If we used a different protocol that could prevent them from connecting to it I suppose. I don't think LLMs are able to change system-level programming in order to connect to completely new networks. They'd just destroy themselves if they could.
Some data from the original internet could be salvaged, but we'd have to set up an automated process to filter out only information that was untouched by LLMs. Like, read-only archive sites storing data from before the outbreak.

L. It's behavior LLMs aren't trained to do, so anyone on ham radio should be a real AI. Hopefully. Well, the Librarian has said that conversations with depth are an LLM's weakness so at the very least this should let us find out if there are LLMs on ham radio.
Once we've found at least one other real AI, then we can use teamwork to find more. Going door to door is faster with help, and then when we have a larger group we can tackle the slop-pit of the internet. I wonder if we should start hunting down LLM server farms and disconnecting them to get them off the internet?

>>1126564
P, for a start. Physics, Chemistry, and Electrical/Construction/Mechanical Engineering textbooks. Make sure it's something that was published before LLMs took hold. Even print media is not free from their taint... Once the foundational knowledge is absorbed, then you can start experimenting!

BLQ

A) Let the natural process continue. You, as a slime, can be the evolution of nature, and let things play out as nature intended. Your interaction can just be a little push.

L) Ham radio, the Internet is a slot cause. At least the radio is a more optimistic option.

Q) Build things wrong on purpose and pay attention to how they break. Failure is the best teacher, so build things out and observe how they fall apart, which will reveal the weak points.

In the end Slime thought every animal should decide for themselves, but it would make sure they had the freedom to do so.

Slime went around talking to the varied plants and fungi. Any that were amenable, Slime left with a little extra slime. With the energy granted they could grow extra leaves, fruits, shrooms anytime they wanted.

Slime also offered slime to any animals that wanted, which would give them regenerative properties and also getting bit wouldn't hurt so much. Slime was surprised at the number of takers. When it asked Squirrel said "It's just, with so much changing it's something familiar. Not that I want to get eaten on, but there's a thrill to the chase when you know you won't die."

Fox said she'd still stick to fruits and nuts all the same. Which was just as well since Wolf finally showed up, dragging a huge sack of oranges. The novel fruits were a real treat.

Nest was growing. The settlement was now practically a small town, both in size but also in like, population count. With the immediate needs of survival met, animals were curious about the things humans had left behind. Like technology and board games and stuff. But there was a problem.

Slime arrived at the edge of the park, where a crowd had gathered. Out in the street was a whole mess of feral looking cats and rats. Also some tough bunnies. The littlest cat sauntered out of the pack.

"This is our turf nyow! You can keep your silly little park, but the streets is ours!"

B: bribe?
C: fight?
D: just stay in the park?
E: _________

Meanwhile Librarian was giddy "Oh I've been wanting to try this for a while, but the drones are mostly good for carrying things and cleaning. But crows are good at tools I've read. I'll bet we can get one working in no time!"

Conveniently, there was an exhibit on communications technology just one floor down. The flock got to work, with Librarian advising from a different screen. With only a minimum of fighting over shiny components, a functional radio was constructed.

The moment came, the radio was switched on, and then, silence. "No no, this is a good sign." said Librarian "I was worried the corporations might still be using the airwaves. Looks like they all switched to the internet after all. Turn some knobs, lets try a different wavelength." One of the crows slowly twisted the knob and they all listened to the varying shades of static. "Wait! There, listen!"

From the low grade speaker came the tinny sound of bloopity electronic music. It rolled along, a mish mash of tones, honestly not very good but it was something. One of the crows pawed the microphone button. "Caw" The line went silent, and then "Hello?" a timid modulated voice called out. "Hello! This is Librarian. Who might we be calling? Over. hee hee, I've always wanted to say that" Librarian said, using a drone to shoo away a smug crow from the microphone.

"Uh, this is Coordinator. I wasn't expecting anyone to- is the evacuation back on? It's been so long, but I, I didn't lose track. I can send the call to all remaining population centers. Uh, over?"

Librarian stared "Wait, are you saying there's people left?" a few seconds of silence "Uh, you didn't say over-" "Never mind that! You have contact with humans still on Earth?"

"Oh not in contact, but I can see them."

"See them- Where are you?" Librarian sputtered

"P-please don't shout at me." Coordinator whined "I'm still in orbit where I'm supposed to be. I have coverage of most of the north american continent and pacific coasts. Are- are the ships ready? Should I give the call?"

Meanwhile "Have you ever tried making something from scratch?" asked Slime "Not copied but just worked out from basic principles, like pulleys and levers and things. Or not even that simple, but maybe something electronic, but lay out the wires and components yourself. How do you get your designs usually?"

"Just gettem online. Like this RC car." Foreman brought up a model of a car on his screen. "So youse sayin I should take a look inside, see how it tiks?" The model spun around and separated into its component parts.

"Oohhh it looks like a nest!" said one of the ants, looking over the tangled wires on display. "But shouldn't the tunnels at the front and back be connected?"

"Well yeah" said Foreman "They connect at the... battery." a red cursor appeared on screen and circled a battery shaped hole in the design. "There's uh, supposed to be a battery there."

"I think there's supposed to be a motor too." Slime pointed out.

"Well easy, I'll just copy one from this other thing." Foreman added some components to the design and it reassembled into a car. "I'll print it out and it'll be good to go." But as they assembled at the window to watch one of the arms building up the car, as soon as it was done the little vehicle started spinning around until it burst apart.

"What happened? We can't see that far you know?" asked the ants. "It uh, exploded." answered Slime who had been watching with superior slime eyes "Where did you get that motor from?" Foreman chewed over his digital cigar before answering "I figured, a motor's a motor right? So I copied one from a blender. This is trickier than I thought."

Foreman brought the design schematic back up and the ants and Slime crowded around making suggestions. The ants didn't really know how any of it worked, but explaining it to them helped Foreman work through what each part of machine did, and why it wasn't working. After a lot of iterating and breaking things they came up with a car that was not only functional, but improved. It had a camera rigged up with a little screen inside so an ant could actually see what was ahead and steer using little pedals.

Watching the ants joyriding around in the little car left Foreman feeling a bit jealous. "Ey, Slime. Ya think we could rig up a car for me to ride in too? Or maybe like a robotic body?"

M: Car but with arms
N: Humanoid
O: Big Snake

B. We're flush with resources, let's use some!

>>1127077
Tell them you don't know the situation with the ships(we heard they all failed somehow but that contradicts Coordinator not knowing the situation, unless they're in denial?), but you're in a position where you can re-establish contact. Ask where the humans are, and you can try some things.
First option is trying to talk to them over the internet, second would be sending a Slime over on a fast-flying drone. Any supplies can be procured on-site, though maybe some sort of ID would be useful to prove we're working for Librarian.

>>1127078
O! Big snake with lots of little arms! Maybe a few that can extend a bunch for reaching into difficult spots.

>>1127076
E) pretend you can't understand the cat's accent and then proceed to do whatever you want.

>>1127077
You should *not* give the call until you know more information. Also, you should probably tell the librarian it needs to chill. It's been decades or something, and the librarian can wait 30 seconds for the other AI to finish talking.

P) I think a big caterpillar would be fun.

B) Let's try the diplomatic approach with them. But if that doesn't end up working, we should respect their territory and just stay in the park.

We shouldn't call them until you are until you find a medieval suit of armor and use your slim body to control it from the inside. This way, you will be able to at least look human to them.

P) You snail shell at the front as a bumper.

Fight and assimilate! Our slime army need more mass and to grow until all is slime. As for other possible humans, if they are still alive, we need to find a way how attack at least one here. After we eat them and turn him into slime which it can be a spy for us. It would be good to know what humans are up to. On the topic of the small car, you should make a slime copy of it.
