Wait, so essentially the Court is using faeries and forest critters to serve as super-efficent data crunchers like chips in a computer or something?

Dropped.

Forest people are smart, we get it already!

But anon, i can call you a fag the much as i wish and still don't be punched in the face

This is magic

>>82950825
Is it just me, or is Ms.<Bugsy> owning dem curves? Damn.

>>82950958
Okay, this needs to be addressed. Every time on this board when someone even so much as suggests any kind of relationship between magic and technology, there's a fight.

Does nobody here appreciate magitek? Bitching about the similarities is especially galling in reference to fucking Gunnerkrigg Court of all things, wherein this is one of the central themes.
>>
>>82950958
Except they never said that. It's just showing how a former rabbit rapidly learned human language, math and other things.
>>
>>82951079
Magitek is a purposeful fusion. These are just fairies spewing out code.
>>
Man, how do you take creatures that don't even know what counting is and make them computer literate data processors in like a week?
>>
>>82950825
Elves are Code Kiddies. Knew there was something wrong with them.

Still would date and woo the pink matron.
>>
>>82950995
They're dumb, actually.
So dumb that they can turn their brain off and let the court do smart stuff with it.
>>
It's like that episode of Ghost in the Shell where they were using a bunch of autistic kids to test their security software and hack government systems
>>
>>82951133
The brain is still the most efficient supercomputer we know.
The reason humans aren't as good at simple tasks as supercomputers is that we aren't built for it. Our brain has way more processing power allocated to our social behavior and higher thinking, that enabled us to actually come up with the concept of computers in the first place.

Forest people however seem to be rather retarded.
Good enough to be able to be used for simple tasks, but too stupid to recognize that they're being used and experimented on.
>>
this page and the previous one are fucking weird as fuck.
>>
>>82951325
Because fairies are retarded.
They don't understand panelling or consistent art.
They're stupid chaotic shits.
>>
>>82951133
>>82951284

well, it's more complicated than that. it's not like you could re-purpose the human brain to do number crunching the same way you can run different programs on a supercomputer, or even load different configurations into an FPGA.

if you were going to take advantage of human brains, you'd use them for tasks that we don't have good general-purpose algorithms for, like computer vision, long-range unstructured problem-solving, etc.
>>
>>82950995
Nah, they're idiot savants.
>>
>>82951459
Well, the court's makin it work.

Nigga, Kat's parents were casting spells through a remote computer since early chapters.

Technology requires a detailed study of the fabric of the universe. It's no different from arcana in that respect.
