--- Quote from: brasca on 11 Jan 2019, 02:34 ---And now that she's got a struggling business of her own she really needs to be nicer because like I said Crushbot could've had his repairs done somewhere else and he's not obliged to give them a positive review.

Yeah, honestly? He is obliged not to crush people - especially people who don't schlepp their brainboxes around in an armoured casing & can't just plonk it into a shiny new body with a fancy butt-emblem.
'Customer is King' & positive reviews and all that come way behind public health & safety as far as I'm concerned.

Crushbot is a big AI and so is Bubbles. Now if Bubbles slipped and fell on Roko it wouldn't have done as much damage, but Roko would definitely need repairs. Do you think Faye would have the same attitude? She'd probably brush it off as accidents happening.
We don't know a lot of the details about AIs interacting with humans. It's possible Crushbot has special sensors that detect humans and animals which may lock up movements to avoid accidentally falling over on anyone, but this is not in effect when other AIs are present. Roko is alive with a better chassis than before and while you can dismiss Crushbot's feelings over the matter that doesn't change the fact that he could've chosen anywhere to get his repairs done, but is patronizing their struggling business. She doesn't have to console him, but she really should be nicer if she wants repeat business.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 10 Jan 2019, 23:13 ---As for Faye's question...? What do you get a synthetic as a sympathy gift. If they knew Roko better, they'd know it would be a photographic catalogue of men's underwear, mostly because it will afford views of human abs. However, knowing Faye it will be some kind of bizarre 'gag gift' that she bought on an impulse.

Since a fruit basket is out of the question, they might in good faith decide on a basket of baked goods, as a good alternative. Which would show us directly just what the impact of her sensorium upgrade would be.

Scented candles that smell like freshly baked bread rubbed on human abs.

Bread looking like human abs. It seems it exists...

So let me get this straight. We’re letting Crushbot off the hook for nearly killing Roko, but we’re condemning Faye for potentially hurting Crushbot’s feelings?

Well, Crushbot's insurance company is making a hefty ($20K+) payout, and his premiums are likely to go up; he's done what he can to make amends and will wind up paying a stiff price. I'd say that's enough, and wouldn't expect more; if that's "letting him off the hook", so be it.
No comment as regards Faye.
