Case:
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 02 Aug 2020, 09:54 ---I'm more worried about the parole terms. For humans, a housing plan has to be approved, and changes of address must at least be reported. For a synthetic, there's the issue that changing their appearance could be used to avoid detection after a crime.

I'd imagine that AIs would be required to broadcast some form of digital signature - perhaps tied to the specific substrate they're running on? If AIs could evade identification with something akin to MAC spoofing, QCverse law enforcement would have some serious trouble, I suppose?
Wingy:
Why would such a code be in the chassis when the substrate of their mind units has got to be unique? Police looking for an AI are looking for the mind unit, not whatever form it is in now. My conception of robot jail is a huge server farm where the AIs have no choice but to calculate [big problem intermediate results]...

I love Dale's posture in this comic. He looks like he's analyzing every frame in that movie.
He looks like Gendo Ikari from Evangelion in that pose. Intentional or subconscious? The world may never know. :grumpypuss:

Wouldn't be the first time Dale has mimicked Gendo.
(Somebody else can dig up the relevant strip from back in the Marigold/Dale rivalry days.)

Mining Bitcoins or analyzing deep packet searches?
I still think being isolated in a cramped white-space with a psychologist algorithm [ not an actual AI ] that is incessantly asking questions and playing psychology games in the mistaken belief that it will help the incarcerated reform themselves while keeping costs down.
