Would you trust a real life S.A.M.?

without a second thought. getting tired of the whole "AI/machines outtoget humans" trope. ive never understood why this is a sci fi cornerstone, its such a silly scenario.

I would not, I think it would be way too dangerous. Some might hack my SAM and kill me and I cannot do anything against it, or hack it to feed me false advice/information. Would you put your life in the hands of a futuristic AntiVir or Kaspersky? 
This opens doors to all kinds of nasty blackmailing hackers, data / thought theft and similar intrigues. I think having an AI in your head would eventually lead to severe paranoia in most people as you would feel like losing control over yourself.  External AI I can carry around on my wrist like a watch? Hell yes, but definitely not an implant in my brain that is capable of controlling my bodily functions. I think any implant that has control over body functions is extremely dangerous.
But the day we all get a small super computer implanted, that monitors our health, controls bodily functions and controls an army of nanobots - for our own good of course - will definitely come, and many problems will come with it. Just think about the possibilities. 


Besides all this, I'm also one of those slightly oldschool weirdos that enjoy not having to rely too much on technology. Technology can break, I rather rely more on myself. I'm not an Amish by any means but I like to use real maps, navigate without relying on GPS and I appreciate gas guzzling 70' cars because I can fix them and they just work. Simply jump-starting a modern car and electronics are screwed up which you cannot repair by yourself. It needs a costly repair in a certificated service center. That sucks.

In a way I'm like Will Smith who played that detective in I-Robot. I like technology but I want a safety space between it and me and not rely too much on it - let alone fuse with it.

I believe the human race is a parasitic race that deserves to end eventually. We will be the makers of a new race born of organic and metal and best of both worlds.

It's not a bad thing because everything has to end. But we will definitely give birth to a very unique race.

Part human, part machine, part soul and part AI.





Something very much like Ex Machina.




So to your question : 100% yes

You can probably blame human fear of mechanization. 

no

He should have made it available no matter how low ems is instead of it being at 2700

I wonder if Mac would like sam in his head?

Javik: SAM stands for "stupid a** machine"

Yes, I would. I loved the idea of Synthesis, and I love the idea of SAM. The idea of cyber enhancements or AU avatars like in Matrix really appeals to me in sci-fi & I'd rather be a cyborg than a goddess.

I'd rather be a  Badass Normal

Knowing my father was the one who programmed it? Yes.

As a required implant for a role to be filled? Still yes, but perhaps not as enthusiastically.

I know I'm nothing special.

But in a video game, I like to pretend.

Let me see, would I trust something that could kill me at any time by stopping my heart. Hell no.

You're off on the Tempest, but the SAM node is back on the Nexus where it can be tampered with. Plus you're talking about an AI using logic, but not common sense always, that may just decide it knows what's best for you and start using any control it has to save you from yourself.

I guess a good question is if we're talking about Ryder SAM, or factory SAM.
