--- Quote from: BenRG on 18 Jun 2019, 23:15 ---I'm more and more certain that this is the first time the charity has ever done anything practical. I also think that, maybe, Beepatrice really doesn't have much in the way of self-confidence so actually being told to do something - Priority NOW - is seriously unbalancing her peace of mind! I mean... what if someone takes offence? What if she oversteps her (borderline non-existent) authority? What if she gets it wrong?!?

Mein Gott!
The amount of people terrified of getting things wrong-- and thus not asking questions-- these days is absurd! If you don't know, ask!!! And, by God, DON'T ask another temp!!!!! They probably don't know either. Ask the floor lead or the supervisor for your area, for Christsake and mine!
This isn't the same as your last assignment at [*REDACTED**]. Things work different her at [REDACTED]. Don't assume anything. And don't ask me! The labcoat doesn't mean I know anything about how your machine works. It means that I don't. Just ask your supervisor or the lead. Please?
Sorry about the venting. We get a lot of temps who aren't much use in general. Both due to lack of proper training and some being like Beeps or worse (with attitude). I'm QA, BTW. Might just get some custom shirts that read "Ask your supervisor" and "because we work with food".

Its something I ran into with a mobile phone shop who wanted to impose a particularly asinine bit of dumb policy on me (something that would inconvenience both me *and* the shop!). The poor lass behind the counter was clearly scared that if she went off message in the slightest way to do something that was 100% sensible then her neck would be on the line, and her immediate line management on the end of the phone was equally insistent that the letter of the rule had to be followed and damn the customer. Part of it I suppose is the way that so many businesses are trying to deskill every job as much as possible so they only need employ minimum wage peons who can be easily replaced should they get upset by appalling working conditions, but I was struck by the extent to which the poor girl was in fear of displaying the slightest initiative.

--- Quote from: cybersmurf on 19 Jun 2019, 23:10 --- There's probably more than one AI running the same chassis as CW.
--- End quote ---
It does surprise me that we never see the same chassis on different AIs. Especially with all the comic potential for identical twin type escapades.
--- End quote ---
I suppose AIs would have, built in to their brain matrix or programmed into their personalities, some sort of transponder function so they could identify themselves to each other. Of course, meatlife would not have access to that, leaving room for those mistaken-identity hijinks, especially if some borderline-unscrupulous AI with a standard-looking chassis and a fondness for cake batter decided to exploit that.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 20 Jun 2019, 02:15 ---In the case of Beepatrice's chassis, the 'face' is actually a LCD display screen so individuality becomes even easier to do.
--- End quote ---
I'm not so convinced about the LCD physiognomy. When viewed in profile Beeps has a nose.
Is it cold in here?:

Which makes me wonder if CW has a secret new business…
.....Arrrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhh :psyduck:
--- End quote ---
The last time we heard of her, she eagerly confessed everything and more, and prepared for a long time in jail.
--- End quote ---
Wouldn't it be a twist if the judge was so impressed by her cooperation with law enforcement that they thought it was evidence of remorse and granted Corpse Witch early parole?
