rrrrrr Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 Only if the posibrain/MMI is destroyed. Otherwise, it's vandalism or sabotage. Quote
Dreviore Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Only if the posibrain/MMI is destroyed. Otherwise, it's vandalism or sabotage. Doesnt it also depend on the person you're talking to? Quote
ArcBot Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Only if the posibrain/MMI is destroyed. Otherwise, it's vandalism or sabotage. I have a question, how old can an IPC be? I mean could they stay kicking forever if they're maintained? Quote
rrrrrr Posted May 23, 2016 Author Posted May 23, 2016 MMI? Yes, potentially. Posibrain? I'm not actually sure if there is anything in the lore on this but unless I am told otherwise yes, potentially forever. Quote

I mean could they stay kicking forever if they're maintained? I'm not rrrrrr but i have the answer to that one As long as an IPC stays charges and its parts are taken care of, An IPC will live until the heat death of the universe. Quote

I think routine intelligence maintenance is also necessary, but iirc IPCs can do that by themselves 99% of the time. Quote
Guest Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 What are your thoughts regarding the concept of intelligence rampancy in IPCs? To more easily define it: Extended periods of time without mind wipes or maintenance start damaging internal system integrity, possibly leading to malfunctioning? Quote
rrrrrr Posted May 28, 2016 Author Posted May 28, 2016 Not a fan of the concept because it really doesn't seem to have any grounds in reality. Quote

It would probably be more likely that an IPC would just cease to function after an extended period without maintenance. Quote
Mikalhvi Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Uplift IPCs are still allowed, right? I have one I don't want to scrap... Quote
November Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Are pAI's capable of becoming cyborgs/IPC's? Given that they already have the capability to control a body, and their nature is transient from one device to another, I don't see it as too far a stretch. They would still be bound to the new laws, but it would possibly (?) give them the ability to eventually become organic. Given that they are designed more closely to emulate organics, I can see an old enough pAI learning enough about people to truly "be" people. Quote

If the code is complex enough or can reprogrammed, it can work in a borg/IPC chassis. Simple, no need to "learn about people" or any other philosophical stuff. Quote

That's mostly what I figured, but when I asked in adminhelp I received a very swift "Not possible" fullstop. It may have been misinterpreted as a question on game mechanics, so I decided to seek a second opinion in an official manner. Quote
NebulaFlare Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Well, my IPCw Echo 1 and 2 were formerly pAIs. I haven't been informed it wasn't possible. Echo 1 is a shard of a larger system, who was disconnected from her network due to corruption. Instead of wiping her, researchers transferred her data to a posibrain to study her corruption develop. Since she was able to remain stable, Echo 2 was made next, a shard that was uploaded into a posibrain without the corruption. Quote
SierraKomodo Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Under my current canon, as well, the Katana Delta pAI units are shards of the main Katana unit that are re-integrated after the shift and verification of integrity. Quote
