--- Quote from: Gnabberwocky on 13 Nov 2020, 09:40 ---So May can't be a fighter jet, but surely there are aircraft companies that need AIs to simulate and calculate weather and flight patterns. If--and that's a big if--they're willing to hire her, that's a decent second.

Wouldn’t that be cruel though? To spend her life calculating how other people can fly but never doing it for herself?

Keyword: "simulate." I'm imagining something like a VR interface that allows her to test-fly airplanes in high-tech flight simulations in different conditions. Maybe she can access cameras on weather balloons as well.
Actually, what's stopping her from just being a pilot?
Farideh:
Right now? Probably her criminal record.
Oenone:
Addendum: I would wear the heck out of that shirt.

Also: poor impulse control. Just because a jetliner can do a barrel roll doesn’t mean that it should.

--- Quote from: Zebediah on 13 Nov 2020, 06:40 ---You’re assuming such laws are ever actually enforced.
May would need to take her boss to court to recover the money. The filing fee is probably more than the cost of the uniform. Also her boss would fire her immediately.
And please, don’t come at me with how all of that is or should be illegal. I happen to agree. I am simply stating how the world actually works. Employee protection laws in the US aren’t worth a bucket of warm spit unless you can afford really good lawyers.

I was more thinking about if they even applied to AI. Do workers rights extend to them? Are they covered by OSHA?
--- End quote ---
OSHA bylaws don't specify human or non-human, so one would hope so.
