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?

That sounds interesting. I'd like to have a better leg up on positronics. [Eff you, Often-Wrong. Also no, he wants to be a brat and avoid the subject of that flood forever.]

I was left with the early construction of an android-- a dear and departed barge warden entrusted the project to me with the stipulation that it must under no circumstances be an Ascenion robot.

Both your technical skill and aid and your insight into what it is to be a programmatic intelligence, and what knowledge and capacity is necessary to ethically construct such a being, would be of great value to me.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, because I do like the sound of this, is worth it to you to risk having me help you? Because if so, you must really want this project.

[He knows he can't have been her first choice, even being her inmate.]

[There is a long silence]

My choice comes from two factors.

First that you are intelligent and well educated in destruction. Literally no position aboard this vessel would be benign if you set your mind to causing harm. As my assistant at least I would have the ability to supervise you regularly.

Secondly, I feel it would be beneficial to you-- and to me, as a long-time conservative Ascenion roboticist unschooled in the rights of the creation as much as the creator-- to give you the chance to prevent mistreatment of another programmatic intelligence.

[There are a lot of thoughts that happen in a silence she probably doesn't even register.]

It will be mistreated wherever it is something new. [That's why he lies so much.] But I would rather it have the choice to say or do something about it.

Will you work with me, then?
