Perfectly Reasonable:

All this aside, am I the only person who thinks that the model code for May's new chassis is 'XJ-10'?

Probably. I think this is the link you wanted:

Seems like that was the whole idea behind the idea of the Panopticon.

--- Quote from: Magniras on 06 Jan 2021, 15:33 ---Robot Jail does sound cruel and unusual, but how do you rehabilitate AI criminals? Rewrite them? Use human psychology on them?

And as cruel and unusual as Robot Jail might be, I can't find it in me to be sympathetic for May who committed her crime with the intent of becoming a war machine and doing god knows what.

--- End quote ---

We don’t know anything about May from before her time in jail, not even her name. I don’t think it’s fair to assume she’d do “god knows what” since she’s so far been incredibly honest with people, even if she’s been mean. Why would we assume she’d be a WORSE person before her trauma?

As for what you can do to them: given the incredible capabilities of monitoring software, the perception and personality altering drunk app Millefeulle used, and how May’s shitty chassis impacted her life, I’m sure there’s some combo of embodiment, surveillance, and code that would be a better alternative to an infinitely isolating lack of privacy.

Is it cold in here?:

--- Quote from: awkwardness on 05 Jan 2021, 21:32 ---Those who whine about jails and "cruel and unusual punishment" I have found 95% of the time have A. been arrested for a crime that they were actually guilty of B. were upset because they got caught and C. did it willingly and knowingly with the penalties known ahead of time.

You are welcome to join the "Prison policies and conditions" thread in DISCUSS which I started.

My involvement with the justice system consists of a speeding ticket in 2019. I was guilty and paid it.

My knowledge of it comes from extensive reading from sources including correctional officers, investigative reporters, former inmates, and academics. The system is broken fundamentally on any standard that involves the common good. My prison pen pal went in determined to better herself. She found two vocational program offerings for 300 prisoners.

New strip up.

That, May, and Faye and Bubbles are barely breaking even at this point. Or possibly not breaking even...
