Are there any AIs out there who aren't megalomaniacal psychopaths who need to have their power supplies yanked? Sound off; I get the feeling we're gonna want to be working together for the next few days.

The rest of you, will you please please please try to call for help as soon as you even begin to suspect you might need it? The time to deal with ( Read more... )

Most of the AIs I knew growing up were pretty not-crazy.

[voice] spacebased September 19 2011, 21:17:50 UTC

I'm saying.

[voice] projectconcerto September 19 2011, 21:35:17 UTC

Although the AI that ran the bullet train from Hong Kong to Shanghai used to be really creepy at me.

...What was the racist jerks bit for, though?

[voice] spacebased September 19 2011, 21:42:56 UTC

Hating AIs just because we're AIs is racist. Try to dress it up all you want, but it won't change the fact that yes, you're a racist.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Not that you can, 'cause my response time is faster than yours.

Fuck you for calling me racist, my best friend's like, half robot.

I think I like you, though.

[Are you people for real?]

Cinderella, if the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it.

scorpiowned September 19 2011, 21:48:22 UTC

(totally for real. you don't even know.) That's pretty much the gayest thing I've heard all day, and that's saying something because you're competing with Donut.

spacebased September 19 2011, 21:53:13 UTC

Even if I experienced sexual attraction, I couldn't be gay; I don't have a gender.

[Alex is baffled as to why homosexuality would be a bad thing; the government of Earth practically endorses it as a population-control strategy.]

Half-tonne supersoldier with all applicable combat skills reporting for duty with a team of the same. Any weak points in his defense we can be made aware of?

[Hnnnngh the AI-murderers. (Alex talks to Prism too much.)

Still, the problem is an AI that needs killin'.]

He's almost certainly immobile, and I'm searching the station logs to see if I can find what he requisitioned to build his little Mordor mansion in 12, but those would have been easy to delete or falsify, so I don't know how much I'll turn up. If he wants to maintain his inroads onto the station, he's going to have a lot of his capacity taken up fighting Hypatia's defenses. Not to mention mine.

Also, there's probably a psychological angle in his [playback of AM's voice] HATE, but that's really not my department.

[voice || YAY HALOLZ ENCRYPTION] thom_293 September 19 2011, 23:08:02 UTC

[prism can eat glass. THOM IS TOTALLY COOL WITH AI THAT AREN'T TRYING TO MURDER HIM.]

Fancy that. Can you nuke Hypatia's external defenses, even just the ones that oversee the zone? With the teleporters down, we might have to get a little creative in our assault strategy.

Name's Thom, by the way. Alex, right? Good to meet you.

[voice || YAY HALOLZ ENCRYPTION] spacebased September 19 2011, 23:19:29 UTC

[Alex is horrible at reading subtle social cues, meaning smooth-talking sociopaths--say, Prism--have a distinct advantage.]

Yeah, that's me.

The airlocks? Sure. Wouldn't be my first boarding action. I can't come with you, though. I can get you a ship and remote-pilot it, but that's subject to light lag and jamming.

[There's a pause, which for Alex is the equivalent of falling silent for a good 10, 15 seconds.]

If you needed, I could dub off a pruned copy of myself to fly. Wouldn't have much personality or be any good at hacking beyond running scripts I pre-loaded, but no lag and no chance of getting cut off.

[The strain in Alex's voice is obvious.]

Pat yourself on the back, you earn the "meets minimum standards of decent conduct for a self-aware reasoning being" award.

I'm a spacer. My sister system is the sugary one who answers the phones, and she's not here.

I'm also fighting on about five different fronts while I'm having this conversation.

Anyway, the way I see it, this is probably gonna break down into the "damage control" and "go ruin AM's day" teams. I'm running damage control. If you want in, great. If you'd rather break shit, I can put you in touch with the people coordinating that.

[dryly]

If only things were so easy.

[voice] spacebased September 20 2011, 00:14:05 UTC

Nothing is ever easy. Gonna help, or gonna be a smug bastard?

[voice] knight4darkness September 20 2011, 00:34:26 UTC

I'm not an AI.

But if there's something physical that needs breaking, by all means, tell me.

[there's...a bit of frustration in the last part. is he feeling useless? a little.]

[voice] spacebased September 20 2011, 00:46:19 UTC

I asked for AI 'cause I need to know what kind of processing power I can expect to have backing me up.

[Answer: not much, baww.]

How are you with unbreathable atmospheres and microgravity?
