>>80434945She meant as far as sticking to her parole, sperglord. Yeah, yeah don't do the crime, etc, but she kind of has a point. Parole is supposedly just making sure you don't fuck up again. She hasn't, she's a free citizen because of that, but she's still getting screwed.
>>80444769Actually, I think the point of this is, it's illegal for her to do any of those things. She literally isn't allowed to fix herself, or find someone to fix herself, or anything. Because, I assume, of the risk of a parolee AI going out and getting black market fucking machine guns or some shit installed. She doesn't own her own body, she isn't allowed to do anything to it that isn't government approved, and the government doesn't have the budget to fix her shitty body so QED nothing is approved.
Now we, as in the rest of the thread after this, could sit here jerking each other off about "What did he mean by that?" and 'what shitty social commentary is Hacks trying to make?' or, for once in our miserable lives we could just shut the fuck up about all that shit unless someone else brings it up and discuss the story in relation to the story itself. Whatever, I got no horse in this game. I only read this when /co/ has it's daily spergfest about it.
Far as the world Je' Accuse has been trying (badly, without skill, randomly interspersed between shitty tween drama rewritten for aging hipsters, etc) to build it makes sense. Rogue AIs are considered a serious possible threat, and once they're in the system, well, bureaucracy sucks
everywhere.In some ways it's like the old stories (no idea if it ever actually really happened, personally) about guys getting an ass-chewing, a black mark on their record, and shit duty for 'Destruction of Government Property' for getting a tattoo while in the military. It's sort of what the law says, it's logical in a way even if it goes against common sense, and it's worth more than some parole officer or robot enforcement's cop job to fight it.
