Huh.

Aren't there like... rules... of robotics... or something? [ shouldn't a society where this is possible be more prepared for it? as if that's ever how anything works. ]

[factoring]

Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"? They don't apply when the AI has its own free will.

People can already hurt each other, even without any technological assistance.

[camena]

I... Guess that makes sense...?

[ help ]

Sounds hectic.

[factoring]

It's been that way for a while.

[camena]

The advancement of technology always comes with its own problems, huh.

[ she has found a a green apple-slice pillow! and thinks that should be enough so she plops down with it on the couch. ]

[factoring]

That's very true.

[ Sometimes people REALLY fuck around and REALLY find out.

She'll find a selfie stick, but honestly... What is it for? ]

[camena]

Maybe I should be glad we're not there yet.

[ godspeed figuring out the selfie stick... alex has never seen one before. ]

[factoring]

Plenty of other things to worry about, I'm sure.

[Squinting at the stic and rotating it around.]

[camena]

Sure. I mean, everyone's got something.

[factoring]

Anything specific for you?

[ She's figured out how to put the phone in the stick. ]

[camena]

Regular high school stuff, mostly. I'm almost a senior, so I have to start thinking about college.

[factoring]

Is there anywhere you'd like to go?

[camena]

[ hm. kicky feet. ]

I'm not settled yet. But maybe somewhere out of town. I don't know.

[factoring]

[ Okay, the selfie stick is almost working. It's just... How do you take a picture... Hm. ]

Plenty of time to think it over.

[camena]

Yeah—I'll figure it out.

I think it's the, uh, that button? [ trying to help. ]

[factoring]

Hmm?

[ CLICK. wow a terrible confused selfie, but a selfie nonetheless. ]

Alright, I've got this.

[camena]

[ okokokok alex tries to straighten her hair really quick ]

[factoring]

Smile.

[ Kyoko just normally looks this good as she takes a selfie of the both of them. ]

[camena]

[ stupid always beautiful hot lady >:(

but yay photo time ]

[factoring]

[ kill her if you're jealous?

Click click. ]

[camena]

Cool! I'm gonna hang these up.

I'd keep them in my wallet, but I think that got stolen before we got here or whatever.

[factoring]

In your warehouse?

They really just want us to use the money we've been given on the app. If the digital money is in circulation, does that look strange? Or is there some legal way of them earning money?

[ things that don't matter ]

[camena]

Yeah! Gotta make the place nice somehow.

Uhh. I don't know, I didn't think about that. It's just more convenient than carrying cash around, right?

[factoring]

It could be both. [She doesn't seem seriously worried about it, anyway. ]

[camena]

I don't think the law really, like, applies here... at all...
