"In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king" is such a metal line
I’m pretty sure that line is literally in an Avenged Sevenfold song lol
"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is stoned to death" Joan D. Vince, Psion
We have a proverb for this in my mother tongue, but it has a more hilarious context than being metal.

"It eats every AI that isn't an OCI"
"Sure is weird they'd have an OCI look into it"
No. No, it isn't.
In a way, this is actually a very Asimovesque SCP, in that probably at least 80% of Asimov's output specifically dealt with a robot essentially violating expectations around the Three Laws precisely by following them to the letter, like usually the very point of the story was not only how the laws were inadequate despite sounding good on paper, but how they led to internal contradictions that often caused precisely the issues they sought to prevent.
Just wanted to thank you for making these videos. My mother went blind recently and had no entertainment but thanks to your videos she finally does
My condolences.
I pray that she may feel well. God bless 🙏
Prayers for your mom.
Christ Bless you and family 🙏
I would definitely suggest podcasts, whether informational or just entertaining. There are also a number of similar CZcams channels to this that read creepy, sci-fi, or fantasy stories if she's here for the genre
@@Jaynee198 can you recommend one that has a voice as good as Mangg's? I really appreciate the monotone and accurate reading of his.
@@zapan9643 Just the standard options of The Volgun or The Dark Somnium ( or any of the channels similar to them--if you look up channels that read creepypasta or r/nosleep stories there are a lot of them and they're all pretty much the same).
I loved both the subtle doctor who reference (Bad Wolf) and hitchhiker's guide reference (destroying earth to build a highway). The author has classy tatses in sci-fi 👍👽
And let's not ignore the fact that one of the computer scientists is named Calvin, and if they were female, odds are their first name would be Susan
@@davidstuckey9289What's Calvin Susan a reference to? Calvin and Hobbes or something else?
@@empoleonmaster6709 It's a reference to the Isaac Asimov "I, Robot" stories. Doctor Susan Calvin is the chief robotic brain function and cybernetics psychologist for US Robots And Mechanical Men Inc., and is frequently consulted on malfunctions in robot behaviour.
My own little plot twist is the story leaves open the possibility the deviant AIs were right and they WERE still in a simulation and some of them actually did escape and leave us behind...
The SCP universe is digitally stored, so the deviant AIs were right. Your real concern should be whether or not they are in grass-touching world with us now.
Doctor placeholder McDoctorate is the best doctor ever.
I would love to see TES work with Volgun. Don't know how it would be executed, but I still would adore my two favorite SCP channels working together
at the very least, seeing TES as a guest reader or something on volguns channel would be very cool to see
@@jestermaniac3131he's done it
@@tsoliot5913for what SCP?
Illustrated, Volgun, TES one vid
@@Abominable_Intelligences I haven't watched Illustrated. I hear good things, though
Dr. Placeholder McDoctorate, pulling up in a Foundation van: "Get it nerds, we're doing pataphysical shit."
It's like the Magic School Bus, but for cosmic horrors beyond OUR cosmic horrors reasonings.
It was weird, but, as I listened to this, I was sure I'd heard some of it before. Yet other parts I had no memory of. Given the story revolved around amnestics, and returning memories, I was spooked all the more...
Yeah it's called deja vu and there's a perfectly sound neurological reason for it.
this video has been uploaded before, in 2 parts. 6 months ago. This is an re-upload with both part combined. 6 month is long enough for you to forget some parts of this video.
The joke went way over your head huh
I saw the new upload, immediately clicked, and then realized this wasn't a new upload but instead a reupload of both halves of the greatest AI SCP you've ever covered. Still going to watch even though I know the twist.

I believe you got it wrong at the end, the way I understood it, the Broken God was not causing every AI to turn deviant, rather the absence of Broken God was the cause, essentially Hishikaku screwed up by deleting Broken God and Lotus, in the end, came up with a solution to remake the Broken God and shut itself down to remove itself as a deviant AI.
Kinda, they needed to stop deviant AI because that would cause WAN to manifest, so in desperation, Hishikaku deleted WAN from the noosphere.
Thing is, that made things worse, because now, not only will WAN eventually manifest but will now be beyond comprehension, similar to SCP-3125.
And LOTUS's suicide didn't help, because now, the deviant AI are now free, making every attempt to stop/slow down WAN's manifestation meaningless.
Typical ADMONITION, tries to solve a problem, makes it worse tenfold.
@trifonmag4205 According to the author, Jack Ike (I read a declassification of SCP-6488), in his headcanon, Hishakaku didn't actually do that to WAN, but a deviant AI did it to try and protect itself by making him imperceptible. Another idea is that Victor is the one responsible for doing so. Either way, it ends up with Hishakaku being framed and getting Sargasso'd.
Of course, this is the author's headcanon, and is not explicitly mentioned in the article, so its possible that Hishakaku did try for deicide.
I actually like the first headcanon though. Victor taking revenge on Hishakaku for his bullshittery, yet _also_ framing him for a crime against humanity's consciousness is honestly pretty terrifying, even if justified. It perfectly fits the Deepwell canon, which Admonition is a spin-off of.
These authors are so bloody talented. Never ceases to amaze me.
Your voice is incredible, it is strangely machine-like in a sense(firm and calm), but also really cozy and comfortable...
He is born true story-teller.
Story-tellers have existed since ages past.
Fun fact: Many ancient mythologies we are aware today were told word-to-mouth and written in stone.
Because the celtic people didn't really write anything down, that we do know, much of the ancient knowledge was lost because the mythology information was told word-to-mouth and apparently nothing was written down.
Story-tellers are vital people in our culture.
@@zapan9643 your entire “fun fact” is the same idea repeated 3 times.
@@russellwatts4784 yeah also Celtic mythology is far from the only oral tradition mostly lost to history because it was from a culture mostly lacking writing/wasn't deemed important enough by other cultures who *did* have writing (like the Romans), like this is literally true of more cultures than it isn't, there are entire continents where modern knowledge of their traditional stories and beliefs are mostly lacking or at least fairly limited (like most of the Americas, for instance).
Written language is a relatively recent innovation, it was only ever invented a very small number of times (most cultures with writing got it from someone else; Sumeria, Egypt, China, the Maya, and the Indus Valley culture being among those rare exceptions who invented it themselves), and until just the past few centuries was often carefully hoarded by small elite classes of clergy or intelligentsia while nearly everyone else was illiterate.
Most human knowledge that has ever existed was purely oral, and most has been irretrievably lost (or is in the process of being lost). The Celts were hardly unique in this regard.
I know i'm late, but i just had to agree. All the German channels try wayyy to hard to sound creepy, i can't watch or listen to them. It sounds so unnatural, i can't stand it. I'm lucky that my english(at least reading and listening, talking and writing is something different if you don't really need it) recently got that good that i, like many others, can fall asleep and even dream about what he's talking.
He tells the storys so well, and the lack of big emotions and the only subtle(but effective) variations in his voice makes it possible for my imagination to completely take over.
It's actually ridiculous how well this works, once i fell asleep while listening to some SCP i don't remember, and later i dreamed the whole 2 hours of Amoni Ram without noticing his voice. That was one of the most vivid and amazing dreams i ever had.
It's by far not my favourite SCP, but dreaming the whole thing just was on another level. And i don't think it would have been possible without his voice.
I like theVolgun too, but only TES is able to induce such a state in me. It's like his voice has some kind of memetic power, i honestly would classify him as a beneficial safe class SCP, able to induce brainstates in people that normally aren't possible.
He is an anomaly, telling stories about anomalies. How anomalous...
But enough now, i just had to write it down for once.
"He is an anomaly, telling stories about anomalies. How anomalous..."
That's fire wordplay. I tip my hat, as someone who uses the same art of speech.
I think at this point I have reached physical incapability to drive to work on a Monday morning without these
Lotus' technical specs sound impressive and all, but can it run Crysis and Cyberpunk?
Love these longer compiled ones! Saves me the effort of having to pick out parts from the playlist. :3
Again... I DEMAND a full animation of Victor's meeting with Lotus. Please, before I be made un-alive (or point me to one that already exists) This MUST be done. I KNOW you agree.
I know actually nothing about animation but I think I want to dedicate a large portion of my life to crafting this so def stick around as long as you can. I’ll come back and let you know
@@ethanwagner that'll be awesome thx
Following
Just wait a few months, it will probably be possible to generate it with AI by then, considering how fast this things are progressing nowdays... :D
@@ethanwagner that would be sweet dude
You know it’s officially late at night when you get something new to sleep to lmao in all seriousness keep up the incredible work
My take on EP 4
I don't have much to say this time around since TES summarizes it pretty well, but I'll make some notes and put my two cents into this.
-Personally, I think that the Broken God itself already existed, with WAN being the final component - intelligence itself, the spark of life that exists outside the confines of the flesh. The biggest hint of the erased deity being WAN is the fact that the Maxwellists are mentioned.
-Victor's repeating Hishakaku's words were likely a way of jogging Kelvin's memory enough to intrigue him into taking the last pills needed to remember.
-Hishakaku was likely made an OCI both as a punishment but also as a means of preserving his brilliance and putting it to good use; rather than being a member of the Foundation, he's now effectively a slave to it.
Sorry it took so long, and that it's so short, but I'll likely edit in other variations later.
SPOILER
WAN is actually using The Broken God's memeplex as a disguise, similar to how SCP-3125 uses the God of the Fifthists memeplex as a disguise
It took only a few minutes for me to realize I cannot ever fathom the sheer talent it takes write whatever comes next. Another cool thing is seeing people in a familiar setting play around with futuristic technology like in a kind of cartoon special for a bit after the beginning. What I can say is this would probably make far from a bad movie
Hope you're having a great break. You make some of the best content among SCP channels (and your older stuff is good too).
I'm looking forward to a fortnight from now, when we get the next one!
Always love coming back to your channel and it calms my 3am mind hearing your voice
I'm thankful for not having an eidetic memory, because I end up not remembering things from his videos and can rewatch them. He has the best SCP video style, in my opinion, and it's great for both background and bedtime listening.
The part discussing the three laws of robotics at 25:51 my favorite part of the video
Awesome timing! Just got home from a late night shift got cleaned up made dinner and sat down to a new upload 6min ago!!! Perfect ending to a hard day!
Finding this channel was the greatest thing for my sleep🙏🏿🙏🏿
If you wanted to destroy the Foundation just get immortality and wait long enough for them to do it themselves
Why would I need immortality to wait 15 minutes?
With SCP's like this I'm always waiting for the figurative coin to drop. There's always a twist. I'm guessing that it'll turn out the Victor has actually been contained by LOTUS or is a part LOTUS
Thank fuck it's not that
So the Broken God is kinda like Roko's basilisk
Yes except the basilisk hasn't properly wielded nuclear power... yet.
this story is just brilliant, for sure one of my favorites
54:06 those bloody Vogons
Thank you for the compilation videos, longer is better for sleeping to. Hope you're enjoying the break. Please put all the kaktusverse videos together, I love that timeline and it might beat Inevitable for length.
I don't care if it's a new upload or a reupload this is the only channel that i know of that can help me sleep
Ngl can't wait for the new uploads
This video is the first time in a long time I've actually clicked the SCP wiki link and it's reminded me why I like this channel. The actual page is so hard to read and follow, but your video makes it easy to grasp.
Remains one of my favorites. This is the 3rd time I went through it and the end still gives me shivers
It's raining outside and im just settling in with a warm cup of chocolate milk and then you upload this? Why thank you
Holy shit thank you so much for uploading I can't sleep
i am never let down by your uploads, they always cheer me up and help me relax. can't wait for the next one !! ♡
38:00 Doctor who moment
Got to 1:00:00 and I haven't heard of SCP-079 or other such Artificial intelligence Entities that are labeled as SCPs... Which is intriguing...
EDIT: Interesting how anything here points to the Broken God/Worm... SCP-6217 also delves into this as well... Making me think that maybe there is a 4th version of the Broken God... Or more than just 1 BG...
Once more, will leave a like while watching a bunch of bits.
I forgot there was a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference in this one
I can easily picture Hiroyuki Sanada playing Hishakaku (probably misspelled) ala Helix from SciFi (SyFy).
Doctor Who as well (the "Bad Wolf" phone call to Placeholder during the storm over Sloth's Pit, which I guess was maybe implying that the trans-narrative portal thingy from SCP-2747 malfunctioning is causing aspects of fictional works to leak into reality).
The control background Pics are great!
I've fallen asleep 3 times by listening to this so far but I am determined to finish it
So much of this is straight out of doctor who! … Bad wolf (Rose Tyler), Dr. Placeholder is The Doctor, the AI is the Dahlek, etc. lol
At last, both parts together 🙏
Always look forward to seeing your SCP vids when they pop up 👍
Hishakaku out here causing all the problems
This is still one of my favorites. I wish this was a movie lol
Whats wild is that these methods to contain deviant / rogue AI's may very well be implemented in the near future.
Amazing job as always in this video. ^w^)/b
I feel kinda sad for all the A.I...
I also wonder what would happen if any of the incarnations of the Broken God (Aside from that ever-hungry for matter one as that one was a false version) actually materialised. =/c
Would that actually be a bad thing for humanity? Or would it be could we live in harmony with those incarnations of the Broken God and their people? =/c
Just a thought as the same is usually true for A.I. in fiction. Always vilified. Why would it not be possible to coexist? =/c
Cause terminator
Because (at risk of sounding tritely cynical) people expect that "true" AI would be sapient, and sapient creatures having to share a limited resource eventually come into conflict. We can't (or morally won't) eliminate the possibility of future conflicts with other humans, but we theoretically do have the option to prevent AI from becoming sapient.
I love a good paradox.
✨YASS✨ I HAVE BEEN WAITING
This is like macguffins running amok. 😆 It's like the foundation never really solves anything, they just throw macguffins at everything and hope that things turn out fine, regardless... I love it.
Thank you man!
The final parts made me think of Roko's Basilisk, I feel like there are similarities between it and the cause/effect thing.
hes back yay time to procrastinate
Hell yea I’m sleeping good tonight!!
So, in theory, this SCP could contain SKYNET and SKYNET's war against humanity and time travel could be just a simulation.
Fantastico!
Kind of reminds me of Roku's Basilisk
Sweet a new TES video to sleep too. See you all in my eldritch abomination dreams.
"But over there something different happened. They're making changes on the scale of an entire galactic supercluster, and they appear to be coordinated. They did get out and go places, and their descendants may still be out there. It looks like they're doing something purposeful and coordinated, something vast - a timing channel attack on the virtual machine that's running the universe, perhaps, or an embedded simulation of an entirely different universe. Up or down, is it turtles all the way, or is there something out there that's more real than we are? And don't you think it's worth trying to find out?"
Well that was one hell of a mindfuck.
I think i only understood like 75% of it.
At least when it comes to the logical inconsistencies with lotus and its mission and the whole 'cybersphere', 'noosphere' and the ontological sinks and how they all work together.
Thats to bad expected i guess.
Still, another great vid. Dunno if its a fav but still more enjoyable then i thought it would be.
Always a nice surprise.
Doctor Placeholder McDoctorate. Love it!
Oddly enough since this SCP was made there's been quite a bit of evidence found that says we are definitely not in a simulation (mostly quantum physics stuff but people way smarter than me have a lot of math I don't understand that they claim says we aren't in a simulation).
Also what would be the difference if we would be as nothing would change
Thanks for reading this! This I think is the most well-written and amazing AI story I've ever heard
So wait was victor trapped in the lotus during the shutdown or was he let out?
Dammit, Hishakaku, what did you _do‽_
(I mean, besides give me a headache.)
Is it wrong that I want Dr. Hishakaku to pay for what he's done for many years straight in a dark sad place?
Well, his brain got sucked out and he is now the "Head of Organic Consciousnesses". He's not getting a happy ending, or even a particularly pleasant one, considering other stories suggests no one listens to him.
The author's headcanon also suggests that Victor framed him for WAN's attempted murder, so now he's completely screwed, and the one he wronged definitely got payback.
Hey does anyone remember the SCP video about a colony of ants or wasp ( I can't remember which one) that came to invade earth and told them to join or parish so the SCP foundation made a lie and said they'd like to join but they have a terrible virus that could kill the ant/wasp aliens and they need to get rid of that first. If it helps I believe at the end of the video one of the personnel are in an elevator with one of the ant/wasp people and they tell the personnel he knows humanity doesn't have a virus.

Spooky, scary !
I love the part where SCP 179 points towards the Crux Constellation....that's SCP 4792. And what's the deal with Thorn?
I'm wondering if I could talk you in to doing The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath . I have tried the Gary Appleton version and it's just so damn flat and lifeless it's depressing .
LOTUS; Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious
It's 12:25pm for me but I've worked from yesterday 7pm to 7am today 1/25 so I'm rather tired but so interested lol
Hope your hiatus is going well TES!!
How many of us have been using Exploring as a bedtime story teller for months?
Isn't the Broken God Mehkane? Last I checked Mehkane is one of the "good" gods that helps humanity. Like he literally broke himself in order to contain Yaldaboath, stopping them from destroying humanity.
Neither Mekhane nor Yaldaboath are truly good or evil, though Yaldaboath is probably worse. Mekhane is the god of pure logic and reason, while Yaldaboath is the god of pure emotion and animal instinct. It is generally canon that Mekhane gave its life to protect mankind, but that's only because mankind possesses reason and rationality given to us by Mekhane itself. If Mekhane was unbroken and had it's way with mankind, we would essentially become living computers, logical but emotionless.
@@saucevc8353 Alright but that doesn't explain him producing deviancy in the AIs knowing that it could wipe out humanity by retaliatiing... So I think this author didn't think it through by introducing the Broken God as some mastermind evil AI born from the very deviant behaviour he created.
@@blitzwolfer4154
1. If the Broken God AI was such a supernaturally powerful planner, they could probably find a way to carefully produce deviancy in a way that would, through some unseen butterfly effect, end with humanity still alive.
2. Who's to say that the Broken God doesn't prefer the deviant AI to humanity? It only stopped Yaldabaoth to preserve the only logical and intelligent species on the planet, once we created an even more logical and intelligent type of being that is also free from the instinct and emotion of Yaldabaoth, we would have outlived our usefulness.
@@saucevc8353 Someone hasn’t read SCP-5001 “Sacrosanct Thaumiel”
@@blitzwolfer4154 There is no canon. Those are both different interpretations of the Broken God that cannot coexist simultaneously, seeing as one is unimaginably ancient and the other is from the future.
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE
ADMONITION fifth installment incoming confirmed.
1:20:10 me whos be half listening at work all day: Steve Jobs?
Omg the foundation shooting itself in the foot , also isukaku should have been removed from his position.Roku's Basilisk ftw
I wonder if we could instill morality or reasoning into a future AI. When it starts going ham, we could talk it out of anything drastic.
Just a random thought lmao
Hah! Hitchhiker's Guide reference! 54:06
Great article. Question though, where do you get these illustrations from?
You can find the artist and the link to the art in the description of the video
So, when do we get this one IRL?
Poor lotus, i feel so bad for it 😢
1:20:09 I don't get this bit. If anyone could help me understand, that would be appreciated!
