You kill a bug without impunity at least once a week, no?
GarandMarine:
Bugs aren't sentient though.
Loki:
:roll: As a matter of fact, no, I don't if I can avoid it.
But I actually took the post to mean "ethically okay", not "possible without punishment".

I'm vaguely surprised that it's not been made illegal to drive with Glasses, given their potential for sudden distraction. Though I guess they could have a special driving app that only puts a small amount of essential information in the driver's FoV - it would be quite useful to not have to be constantly glancing at the speedo or the GPS.

Nor do I. In my book, bugs are sentient; just not very.
Jeph seems to be all over the place on the "civil rights" of AI's depending on Rule Of Funny. May certainly does not seem to be treated the way Momo is, for example, and Agent Turing was quite ready to treat Pintsize simply as property.
