I'm not sure you thought this through properly...

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 06 Dec 2018, 19:03 ---Artag talked about "seeing past" an emotional reaction. It would make sense, a priori, if AIs had better readouts of their internal state and more awareness than we do. The most likely reason they don't is that they weren't deliberately designed.
--- End quote ---
Yes, this explains my thought better. Crippled is probably too strong a word : I'm just seeing some inefficiencies that a more through analysis of the situation would have avoided, and that's what I'd expect of an AI.
I also see some comments here about Bubbles pushing Roko .. she says 'oof', like the breath's been pushed out of her :). But also, of course, a reasonable human-like reaction to indicate subtly to other humans 'that was a bit too much'.
As for Androids expressing emotion ... my thought was not Data, but Kryten's 'emotion chip' in Red Dwarf.

... The conversation leading up to this was basically: "I have a bread fetish." "Have you thought about working at a bakery, since you have a bread fetish?" "I've thought about it, but it might ruin my fetish."
--- End quote ---
Is it really possible to ruin a fetish by making it part of your work life?
(asking for a friend)

Yes.

--- Quote from: Theta9 on 06 Dec 2018, 07:34 ---I like to call Hawkwind "Britain's answer to the Grateful Dead, except they're actually psychedelic, and don't suck."
--- End quote ---
And they also the legend that was Lemmy playing bass with them (And even singing arguably their biggest hit 'Silver Machine')
--- End quote ---
Not a legend. A fact. Until he got busted trying to carry methamphetamine across the US/Canada border. Then they fired him, and he went on to found Motörhead (which was the title of a Hawkwind song that he wrote).
(Edit: this is the wrong album cover. )

Pssttt... it reads;
"The Legend that was Lemmy"
Not, the legend that lemmy played/sang it...
