--- Quote from: Sorflakne on 10 Sep 2020, 19:41 ---Other than wanting to be a fighter jet, we don't know what May's former body was (or if she even had one), and it's entirely possible she only existed within a server, so never had a physical sense of self, hence why she's taking so quick to her new body.
--- End quote ---
Actually we definitely know she was not embodied before. We saw that when Roko went to talk with the body assignment guy, who explicitly calls May out as being in the niche group oif disembodied AIs who request a body upon release. The fact that this is such a small group is the reason that their hardware budget only allows them to acquire variously defective bodies.
And really, it's hard to blame the system for this. If any other AI wants a body, they have to go and pay for it themselves, or get someone else to buy it for them. Why should the correctional system be responsible for buying a body for an AI just because they decide on release that they want one now? It might make some sense as part of the overall rehabilitation effort, but they certainly don't seem to have any ethical obligation to do so.

good point but i could see that changing.
[...]
she will still have her legal limitations on certain kinds of employment but a good-looking and fully functional body should definitely give her some better opportunities, particularly if it comes paired with a better attitude.
--- End quote ---
I don't know about that. Her problems previously stemmed from being a convicted felon, plus in one case simply being an AI, and neither of those things has changed. Previous prospective employers would not have known about her old body's issues so I don't see that having a reliable body will help in that area.
Now you're definitely right that if she develops a better attitude towards other people and life generally as a result of being in a good quality body, that will help in the job search. But that remains to be seen.
