--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 07 Apr 2016, 13:56 ---Concretely, to answer the question of what society should do, it would make sense to have her swap to a human-equivalent chassis and get the armor back after passing anger management therapy.

Assuming AI rights are equal to human rights wouldn't that be rather dubious ethically? *At best* I suggest it could be considered equivalent to forced chemical castration, and I don't believe there are many, if any places where its legal to impose that on someone who hasn't been convicted of a relevant crime.

It would probably more equivalent to taking away her gun/baton/body armour, since AI can change chassis whenever they want. It's a bigger part of their identity than clothes, but it doesn't change who they are. Taking away Pintsize's laser also wasn't 'chemical castration', it was more like taking away a weapon from somebody who shouldn't have one.

Then again, Pintsize's laser was from before the comic really treated AIs as people.
Mr. Doctor:
The time that arc was made doesn't really change anything.
The same way humans must (or at least should) pass a psychological test before purchasing a fire-arm... Same should be done with AIs having weapons in their chassis or chassis that are made for combat.
If a person can get rejected, an IA could be rejected as well.
mr.jacob:
Anybody notice that CW is holding a stack of matzos? Apparently she's Jewish??

You'd think an underground robot fight club would be paperless.
