What is the social/ethical/legal status of AnthroPCs?
Deadlywonky:
I like the idea of a test to ensure the individuality and maturity of an AI personality as a precursor to voting rights, like a citizenship test. Maybe the rules on unlawful destruction are more permanent?
Carl-E:
That would be one helluva test - you can't base it on questions, they'd be able to lie through it. You'd have to run some simulation to see what they'd actually do in certain situations.
Pintsize, of course, would go for cruel funnies, and would be disqualified.
Neckbeard (PT410x) would probably be disqualified on the grounds of sedition.

Reminded myself of an apocryphal Ellis Island tale - one of the actual questions for entrance at the turn of the century was, "Would you advocate overthrowing the government through violence or sedition?" (I think they were trying to screen out anarchists)
One old lady though for a moment, and answered "Sedition, I guess. I don't like violence"
Moral: You really shouldn't give people a choice!
akronnick:
That's not a question about loyalty, that's an IQ test!
G-Man: Do you want to violently overthrow the US Government?
Regular Person: No!
Smart Crook: No!
Dumb Crook: Ummm.... No?
Really Dumb Crook; Yes!
raoullefere:
I notice that the Dumb Crook is so dumb that he uses a semicolon where a colon is needed.
Is it cold in here?:
Imagine what Pintsize would do with a full colon.
