S.A.M - Simulated Adaptive Matrix (Official Thread)

Yeah see I don't want SAM to be treated as this big controversial thing. I want it to provide interesting and new perspective on things and the always on implant thing will have to be addressed. But I want to move away completely from "holy shit, it's an AI". What it says or how we interact with it should be interesting but its mere existence should explicitly be treated as mundane.

Yes but would the majority of people in Citadel space be likely to just pack up and head to another galaxy? I can easily imagine the AI drawing people unconventional to Citadel norms or even derisive of them.

The denizens of Citadel Space are complacent, the AI members are anything but. So if any group is likely to challenge typically held beliefs on their own its them. And more to the point, an AI like SAM is on every Ark from my understanding and logically such a journey could not be made without them.

Thus I argue that people here should be fairly cool with AIs. Now native Andromedans are another matter. No data available.

Alec really likes sticking AIs/VIs everywhere lol (0:59), also we can talk to SAM on the Hyperion (2:47).

As I said, the implant will likely have to be addressed at some point. But the underlined should absolutely not be raised. Meatbags have their own will and can modify themselves (to some extent) and you never know what they'll be up to. Unless the specific character is meant to be shady, is this ever a noteworthy fact?

I already acknowledged the implant must be addressed. Why are we still talking about it?

I also challenge that "all possible reasons" for betrayal can be known. If the betrayer is off his rocker, there's all your assumptions about predictability gone. And even regular people can't be predicted as well as you think, unless you're Sherlock Holmes or Thrawn.

"You can not do that Ryder, otherwise everyone will die and so will you. Also I could blackmail on how you cheated on Cora with Vetra. Bad human."

SAM wouldn't be stumped by this, but I sure as hell am.

Is this some math equation or logical paradox?

But wouldn't this create a tear in reality and everybody is destroyed?
(Actually, that would be a awesome Game Over scene.) 

Or will it just transport us into the Warp?

That's what I think too!
