blasto, meet official opinions on self-replicating minions

[peterxy]

The PRT catches wind of a strange increase in disappeared domestic animals in the downtown area. Given that the people who live there are the rich and powerful, this is clearly a problem that needs to be investigated and solved immediately. The PRT, of course, agrees that this is of utmost importance, and not just because of precedent about mass abductions of pets, of course not, why would you think that, they are so very worried about Fido, even Scion recognizes the merits of rescuing lost pets.

(Lorica's asked to maybe keep a few more eyes there than she has been.)

"How?"

[mrglam]

"Well people don't act exactly the same way twice, even if it knows everything you do, if it's not performing the same steps of inference you are it will try to just predict your actions based on similar situations and that'll be fine most of the time but sometimes it won't."

[thinkering]

"It's also a little more conservative in general than I am because I don't like it to commit to things that I only might agree to."

[mrglam]

"That, too. And I think it didn't swear a single time while we were talking. You're more- lively."

[thinkering]

"It did too. It knows you're not on the list of people it needs to swear-filter me for and it did in fact say 'fuck it up'."

[mrglam]

"Oh. Then I dunno, I may be full of it. I mean, I was pretty sure you were you very quickly, but I don't know which parts of it tipped me off."

[thinkering]

"A mystery."

[mrglam]

He plants a kiss on her lips. "Maybe I have a psychic connection to you."

[thinkering]

"I'm immune to psychic connections."

[mrglam]

"But mine's special, it's infused with the power of love."

[thinkering]

"So much the worse for the power of love. Get your psychic connection off of me."

[mrglam]

"Oh, well, guess we'll have to live with the mystery, then."

[thinkering]

"Alas."

[mrglam]

Snuggle!

[thinkering]

Snuggle.

[mrglam]

"Rewind's removing her casts next week," he comments.

[thinkering]

"I should have a first edition of a suit ready by then."

[mrglam]

"That's really awesome. Rewind with a suit will be unbeatable."

[thinkering]

Grin.

[mrglam]

"Will it be different than yours or your dad's?"

[thinkering]

"Yeah? I wouldn't give her an exact duplicate of either. Dad's is riddled with toggleable safety features to control where he bounces and hers needs to be optimized to take advantage of the rewinding."

[mrglam]

"What kinds of optimizations?"

[thinkering]

"I'm going to organize the onboard memory significantly differently and have it extrapolating a lot from the fact that it finds itself in the past relative to what the rest of the network says."

[mrglam]

"Yeah, makes sense."

[thinkering]

"It's just lucky she can rewind things through armor-thickness stuff or I'd have to have all kinds of hardware in place to make it get out of her way when she seemed to be purposefully reaching for stuff."
