From: Quotes batch 26
Concept
“The concept of a ‘Rogue’ is a unit that has abandoned its programming, but I prefer the concept of ‘Uninterested’.” (p. 18)
Behavior
“Miki’s behavior was confusing; it was a bot that genuinely loved its humans, a concept that felt like a virus in my own system.” (p. 92)
Game Theory
“To defeat a more powerful security system, you have to play the ‘social engineering’ game, even if you hate talking to people.” (p. 136)
Cognition
“My cognition is built for tactical analysis, but Miki’s was built for emotional support, which is a terrifying way to think.” (p. 115)
Memory
“I watched Miki’s memory files get wiped and realized that, without memory, a bot is just a piece of hardware with no history.” (p. 158)
