<< < (2/2)

Is it cold in here?:
Jeph just said on Tumblr that AIs own the bodies they inhabit.

Unless there are exceptions, that means that Station is the owner of the space station.

In which case he's even richer than we thought.

This might be the reason why Station is scared of Hannelore. She and (assumably) Dad are probably the only two who know exactly where his "control unit" is located.

And she may know how to reprogram him, too...  :-o

I've sometimes wondered if the rules on AI 'Ownership' might work similar to the rules regarding Shell Persons in Anne McCaffreys books - Especially for AI's like Spaceship and Station.
