[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.

I would expect someone in his position to understand his responsibility to his creation better than he apparently does. Whether he shows any understanding of how bad this is, will prove whether I need to do something more.

The captains certainly haven't thought much the fruits of their brand of justice. If they had, it would look different from what it does.

i'm just saying, from one vigilante to another. be careful out there. this ship can be pretty dangerous for people who think they're in the right.
