'Are You Sentient?' Inside SCP-914

We explore what would happen if five identical notes were put inside SCP-914 The Clockworks. Watch and find out!

[VancePantss]

The answer is essentially "It's complicated" or "not the same sentience as humans".

[llyamall]

wow what a really long way of saying "well no, but technically yes"

[lavaavalon]

"are you sentient?"
"well yes, but actually, no"

1:1
A note that reads: "are you not sentient?"

[wrath]

So far, it's a solid *"Perhaps."*

[phoenixair]

"are you sentient?"
Yesn't

[Dr.C.Shadow]

So it's kinda able to decide to make an anomaly. Imagine that the note that went through the setting "very fine" became a paper monster.

Who knew 914 has a philisophical side?

[nobodyrogers]

"Cogito ergo sum"
I think, therefore I am

[PicketPolecat]

"We'll take that as a 'yes'"

[something-better]

So basically "I am if you want me to be"

[WhyyyWhyyy]

As doctor bright would say who cares if can think it can be used on a chainsaw cannon and that's all that matters

[lesbarathirdir]

That was underwhelming.
Attempt #1 "Fine":
"Are you sentient?"
"yes and no"
Attempt #2 "Very fine":
* same question, same result *

[ICantThinkOfAUsername]

Sad that it didn’t quote ”To be, or not to be. That is the question”.

[WolfBetter]

the 914 and Dr bright are my favorite shorts by far.

[romanyacik]

I other words, we still don't know if it's sentient, but whoever built it was clearly well read

[LaminatedPigeon]

What would putting a bunch of random material, sized and coloured spheres do?

[dogsarebest]

I still feel the writers missed out by asking 914 "Would you like anything, in particular, for yourself?" once they knew it was sentient. "Is there anything we can do, to make your time easier?"

Or using the camera that shows inner-wants on 914

[lors]

“Are you sentient?” “Idk maybe”

[cakenshake]

Foundation: “That doesn’t answer the question.”
