Is it cold in here?:
I've gotten by without a user manual for my body but my wife could have used one if only for the warning that Tylenol would make pain hurt worse.

Ooh, having just caught up on the last couple of days, that's a brilliant way for companies to duck warranty obligations. Create a disturbing dystopian situation that will make people afraid and uncomfortable, but make it for "their benefit" so if they follow their natural instincts you won't be responsible for anything else that happens to them.
Nice bit of scooting between legal cracks and getting in before the laws catch up with the technology.
(on the subject of dystopian things, the spell checker won't recognize "dystopian" :-) Friend computer says unhappiness is impossible!)

I'm kinda surprised it looks like they're hacking Roko via a smartphone or tablet. That's some weak security, or it's a specialized device...

As for the firmware taking caution against self-harm, we humans have that too. It’s called reflex, instinct, flinching and fear. Have you ever been unable to jump down from a height? Or unable to down some strong drink? Unable to muster the courage to do it? That’s your “firmware” trying to save you from self-harm. Nothing creepy about it.
