Simply being able to utter "4chan" is a warning sign.
pallanox:
When I said "we", it was a generalization.
Robot jail is probably
1) sensory depravation on an increase in sensory input that would make an ai space an uncertain reality.
2) have to read Reddit posts or have it read back to in a low frequency.
3) listen to "baby shark" on repeat. Forever
Or it could just be normal and may cannot deal with the fact she cannot act as she pleases.
Momo is well meaning. And marigold.
TheEvilDog:
1. Considering that AI don't have corporeal bodies in the same fashion we do, sensory deprivation would probably do nothing to them. They don't have senses. More than likely they're forced to run endless mundane, monotonous calculations for the duration of their sentence. Either that or the digital equivalent of A Clockwork Orange.
2. Would you give someone who just tried to embezzle millions to buy a bleeding edge fighter access to the internet? Because even the most heinous restrictions can be avoided. Because in prison, people have nothing but time. And an AI has even more. More than likely Robot Jail would be an isolated server.
And well meaning is all well and good, but for some people the act of trying to understand is not enough. Its one thing to read about someone's experience in prison, but its knowledge without context. And to someone who has gone through it like May, to have someone come up to you and say "Oh, how bad was Robot Jail", it comes off as insulting. Because it denigrates what she's gone through. She's paid her debt to AI society, she doesn't need the reminders of what she's gone through.
snufflebottoms:
Marigold was kind of rude but May was the one that brought up the topic of robot jail. That said, May's reaction was tame for her and I don't really feel that either party here has done anything particularly awful.
On the topic of May's situation: honestly, considering her crime, not being able to rent out processor space seems pretty fair. Her current job sucks, sure but she HAD a decent job and leveraged her position to commit fraud. I don't feel bad that she has essentially ruined her career opportunities nor do I think she is owed a better position. However, she should have been provided with proper health care as a basic right regardless of her employment and I think that's important. (Not really debating previous posters, just sharing my opinion generally).

Gramps was of the same opinion concerning war-stories. As a sprog, I was disappointed.
I'm not a kid any more
