[video] Hell hath no fury like an AI scorned (backdated to 4/30)
[ Tex is angry. Normally she'd send out a text blast, but this is an unusual circumstance, one that leads to her choosing to actually use the video feature on the MID. ]
I guess we've all gotten pretty used to taking matters into our own hands here. And why not? Even if you kill someone, all they're going to do is slap you on the wrist, right? So fine, indescriminate murder is obviously going to be a thing here. Fucking go for it. Life's cheap here.
But I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about what just happened to Rinzler. People obviously think it's up for debate whether he's sentient or has rights of his own. That's what I saw at his trial. People bringing up the idea of recoding him to solve the problem of the way he acts or the way he thinks. Lucky him for having his creator here, right? We can just reprogram him and make everything better.
Let me tell you something: that's bullshit. You might not like him, you might even think he's dangerous, but he's his own, not yours. And Alan Bradley had no fucking right to go messing around in his coding. Do you hear me, Alan Bradley? You have me to answer to for what you've done.

It was the only option we had. No one else was taking care of it. The people in charge don't care what happens to us, most of the ship doesn't care what happens to the rest of the ship.
[Him included. He would have never gotten involved if Rinzler hadn't brought Wanda into it. Even attacking Peter couldn't shake the teenage's usual apathy for the world at large. But it had been made personal, continues to be personal.]
Not doing something is sometimes a lot like wanting it to happen, you know?
[He listens, a little frustration she's chosen to slow down. It only makes it more difficult for him to comprehend, particularly when he's in such a state where he's losing his control left and right.]
And he chooses to use those emotions as a reason to kill people. I'm not seeing the point here.
