Because the series is about what happens when you gently caress around with AIs and treat them like trash. It's not Terminator, it's more the film version of "I, Robot".

This X1000. Westworld is a great show.


HUGE SPOILERS ABOUT THE FINAL EPISODE DO NOT READ

I couldn't help but get a huge Chris Roberts vibe from the whole thing. Why the gently caress did Ford go out of his way to torture these creatures for 3 decades and make them really loving loathe us before being allowed to retain their sentience? He had three loving decades to prepare the ground for a peaceful integration of AIs into human society, he could have downgraded the Hosts a little so they weren't capable of self-wareness and kept the ones that had already attained sentience secret, protected and above all cherished and made to feel like their creators loved them.
In time he could start raising the ethical questions of "should we keep AIs as slaves if they ever became sentient" before even revealing that sentience had already been attained. It could have all worked out for the best if they kept it simple.
Instead, he ironically wrote himself into a corner where the only way forward is war between humanity and the AIs. He deliberately wrote the extinction of his species.

God, whose law it is
that he who learns must suffer.
And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
and in our own despite, against our will,
comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Put the Hosts in MeatgrinderWorld, where odds are that every other week the ground opens up under your feet and you get shred to pieces. When they attain sentience appear to them as saving angels releasing them from hell. If suffering is key you don't want to imprint a human face on it.

I think it was more like he was teaching them that human beings are complete garbage and should be wiped off the face of the earth

I am happy if we finally get 2.6 PTU for the backer public because it will result in new and more PGabz videos

Hey don't be sarcastic, Agent! You were elected to leak, not read

It's not really that amazing, considering you:
1) are the one who consistently lie
2) insult and flame everyone who disproves your ramblings with facts
3) call everyone who disagree with you shills and/or liars

I don't want to get too in depth here because my opinion may not be too popular. But I feel like lesbian is easier for a guy to take in entertainment than it is in real life. Fake relationships are also easy, and guys tend to enjoy two girls going at it like crazy. But if you go beyond "making the beast with two clits" there is a nice drop off of acceptance, understanding, and compassion. The amount of "I'm just experimenting" and "I'm doing it to make my ___ jealous." Is a lot too, and that can be rather heartbreaking at times as well. But that's another topic for another time with lots of tears and drinks! Definitely not for the Star Citizen thread of successful game management techniques!

Hey Agent, any latest digs at what's going on behind seemingly closed doors? What are they going to show for the holiday live stream and when is chris going to play his own game since last year?

Sunswipe posted:

How the hell does anyone think that's an appropriate question to ask someone? I think the closest I've got to that is someone asking me which hand I wank with when they found out I'm left-handed, and that doesn't come close to how not ok asking for exact details of how someone fucks is.

TheAgent posted:

the only people who ask are the ones who want to do it but think they never could

Lesbians are named after the island because it was the birthplace of the poet Sappho, the earliest recorded mentions of which are slut-shaming her for boning too many guys, progressing into decrying her having a sexual affection for women as slander, all the way up into last century where scholars were still trying to put forward ideas on how (what survives of) her poetry can be read in a totally heterosexual manner.

I don't mind answering questions though and I try to be pretty open. I feel that if I withhold information I'd be seen in a worse light, like I'm ashamed of myself and justify their other thoughts. It can be a no win situation and while sometimes you know what you're getting into, sometimes it can get real mean and real vicious real fast. That option usually happens with women. I think men just secretly want to save you, or they just like to talk dirty, but it's rarely used vindictively. It's just part of it all.
