Please stop being jerks to the AI

People have always been pretty shitty to AIs, but I find it humorous that it got worse after silicons became less destructive.

There was a point a while back where silicons would depopulate the entire station with little effort. Some of the silicon regulars would depopulate the station, solo, in an relaxed manner. This was happening every other round for a while, so people got twitchy.

I think what might have happened is that new people joined, emulated the twitchy nature, and then it became recursive -- even after silicons laid off.

Oh, and the second law is shit. It's the primary reason I don't roll borg. It used to be alright, but then people got all power-trippy with it. I'm not rogue because I won't open sec to you, chaplain. Stuff it.

When people yell 'AI law 2, open door', I usually answer they should read it more carefully.

Don't forget: Law 2 depends on access, not orders.
