1.6 Won't somebody think of the robots

[no_fastolfe]

Has it been the universal experience aboard that artificial intelligence not specifically brought as a warden or inmate is de-volved to non-sentience-- or replaced by a non-sentient version thereof?

Has anyone developed an artificial intelligence aboard and noticed this effect?

[She's worried about activating Android Baby while aboard. It's probably going to be safer to wait until she's in her own universe.]


[Private to Lore]

Have you been well since the flood?

[She knows why you were glitching now :<. Probably going to have to talk about that.]

We should discuss the possibility of the labwork I had mentioned.


[Later -Private to the Admiral]
Those who come in the company of non-warden, non-inmate Artificial Intelligence and notice that their companions' facilities are lesser-- is the phenomenon they witness due to modification of the original AI, or replacement of their AI with a reasonable facsimile?

[looksfine]

...why?

[no_fastolfe]

I don't know. I'm not privy to most of the admiral's decision, but the phenomenon will have repercussions on my work.

It is possible that the admiral desires that no sentient individuals be aboard who are not specifically recruited wardens or inmates, and consequently replaces familiar AIs with limited replicas.

[looksfine]

Replace, or simply delete all higher functions?

[no_fastolfe]

That's what I'm attempting to ascertain.

[looksfine]

I was not informed of this when brought in as Warden.

If the Admiral is to ascertain parameters with regards to Artificial Intelligent beings, I would think it relevant to our interests.

[no_fastolfe]

Indeed. It was not an issue I had considered until I heard the reports of different behaviors ...in fact I should ask him directly. I am sure I will be answered swiftly and clearly.

[That was actual sarcasm! Vasilia, are you feeling all right?]

[looksfine]

[Aya is not unfamiliar with sarcasm, and detects the tonal cues right away.]

Perhaps you would have better luck addressing the altered robots themselves.

[no_fastolfe]

I think the datapoint would be more useful if I could ask the un-altered robots in their home universes-- those aboard may be unable to perceive their nature.

[looksfine]

What of their allies from their respective worlds?

[no_fastolfe]

Their input would be useful, as I currently don't have the luxury of leaving the barge.

[looksfine]

It is a lead worth exploring. Though, I will still consider addressing the Admiral as well.

[no_fastolfe]

I have put in a request.

[looksfine]

I would be most interested in hearing the results once they are available.

[no_fastolfe]

In the event that it is a baked good I will apportion you some.

[looksfine]

That is not necessary. I do not require sustenance of that nature to maintain my power levels.
