--- Quote from: Y on 08 Jan 2020, 09:13 ---Maybe it has been said before, but if there was the choice between having a shoddy human sized chassis which is identifiable or a decent pintsize, first momo, toaster chassis,... but she doesn't really identify with it, which would be better?

She wouldn't be caught dead in an anime style chassis like Momo's first body, and she's said that she'd be okay with her current body, if it had a larger chest ("If I can't have a bomb rack I should have a bomb rack, know what I'm sayin'?").
David F:
Another possible outcome (assuming Roko doesn't take the bad cop route here, or after she's tried that and failed) is to see if Union Robotics can stretch whatever budget there is a little further...
Is it cold in here?:

Right to make a living. Her body is an impediment to supporting herself.
If I were a civil rights lawyer in the QC world, I'd argue that it's an 8th Amendment violation under the deliberate indifference standard to issue someone still under correctional control a defective body. I might even appeal to emotion by asking the jury how they'd feel if their arm fell off because of deliberate neglect.
There must be low-spec refurbished bodies out there which fit into a tight budget but that would meet minimal standards of decency.
Cornelius:
That would raise some other, more serious issues, though. If I remember correctly, she's not allowed to rent out processor time, and is basically limited to the kind of menial jobs she has now. Presumably, that limitation has some relationship to what she was convicted for. Quaere: what happens with non-embodied AI in the same case?

That was from U.S. Marine General James Mattis (if you did not know). :)
