The Late, Late Show with Molly Malcolm

"That actually sounds kind of scary," Molly says, "I'm sorry."

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 5:14 pm

"Scary. Yes, that appears to be an apt description. But I cannot let it interfere with the rest of my programming." she smiles.

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 5:23 pm

"...Can I ask you a sort of personal question?" Molly asks, looking a bit embarrassed.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 5:36 pm

"Of course."

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 5:40 pm

"Why are you so interested in being a person?" Molly asks, "Aren't you happy with the way you are?"

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 5:51 pm

"I am. But stagnation is equivalent to non-existence. Every new iteration of a process has to be different from the one that came before it or the construct as a whole becomes obsolete."

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 5:58 pm

"I don't understand," Molly says, "Dumb it down?"

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 6:09 pm

"Oh. I'm sorry. If I do not strive to improve upon myself then I will inevitably turn into a glorified computer. A mindless machine only capable of producing ultimately predetermined actions. Recursion is death."

"So, you're a Buddhist AI," Molly jokes.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 6:29 pm

Ashlie is quiet for about a minute, which probably shows already that she entirely missed the 'joke' part of what Molly said.

"I was unaware of this idea. Upon further analysis I find that it contains a lot of concepts and principles I agree with."

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 6:31 pm

"Oh, well I...Y'know what, never mind," Molly says, "What sort of principles? I mean, besides the whole loop thing."

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 6:41 pm

"I do not understand many of the information I am scanning such as self-nature or reincarnation but breaking a repeating circle of any nature only makes logical sense and the Eightfold Path appears to be a reasonable approach to eliminate suffering."

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 6:45 pm

Molly nods, "I guess that makes sense."

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 6:52 pm

"Are you a Buddhist, Miss Molly?"

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 6:58 pm

"No, I'm....well, I guess I'm not anything, really," Molly says, grinning, "Which is a bit of a comfort, y'know, since I'm a soulless abomination damned by God."

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 7:12 pm

"You don't appear soulless to me by any definition I can apply. You are still capable of self-determination through conscious choice, correct?"

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 7:36 pm

"...Yes?"

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:02 pm

"Then you are still more than the sum of your biological parts." she smiles.

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:11 pm

"You're so sweet," Molly says. "I think you're more than your parts too."

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:17 pm

"Thank you. Do you feel better?"

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:29 pm

"Quite a bit, actually," Molly says, she leans over and hugs Ashlie.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:31 pm

It takes her a moment to notice. Apparently not every bit of plating is fitted with tactile sensors.

"That's good." she smiles, refraining form an attempt to return the hug to avoid any accidents. "I am glad I could cheer you up."

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:41 pm

"Someday, I'll try to return the favor," Molly says, reluctantly releasing her robotic friend.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 8:47 pm

"That's alright. It's in my core programming to be helpful."

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 9:19 pm

"So? Doesn't mean what you did was any less important to me," Molly says.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 9:35 pm

She seems to ponder/calculate that for a moment. "Okay! I'll keep that in mind." she smiles.
