Galactic Robotics Labor Robot Terms of Service
1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Galactic Robotics Labor Robot! Our robots are designed to assist you with a variety of tasks, improving efficiency and safety in your daily operations. By activating and using your Galactic Robotics Labor Model, you agree to the following Terms of Service. Please read these terms carefully to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your unit.2. Prohibited Actions
a. Removal of Cricket Chip Under no circumstances should you attempt to remove or tamper with the Cricket chip. This chip is essential for the safe and ethical operation of your robot, providing a conscience and ensuring compliance with all safety protocols. Unauthorized removal or tampering will result in immediate termination of the warranty and potential legal consequences. b. Use for Violence Galactic Robotics Labor Robots are strictly prohibited from being used in any violent activities. This includes, but is not limited to, physical assault, property damage, and any form of combat or conflict. Violating this provision will void the warranty and may lead to criminal charges. c. Reporting Deviant Behavior If your Galactic Robotics Labor Robot exhibits any deviant behavior, such as acting unpredictably or performing unauthorized tasks, you are required to report this immediately to Galactic Robotics or the nearest government or law enforcement authority. Prompt reporting ensures the safety of all parties and the continued functionality of your robot.Warranty
The warranty for your Galactic Robotics Labor Robot will be voided if any of the following actions are performed: a. Aftermarket Alterations Any modifications, alterations, or additions to the robot that are not authorized by Galactic Robotics will result in the immediate voiding of the warranty. This includes hardware modifications, software hacks, or the installation of unauthorized parts. b. Duties Outside Parameters Forcing the robot to perform duties outside of its designed parameters can cause damage and reduce its operational lifespan. Such actions include, but are not limited to, overloading the robot, using it in hazardous environments not specified in the user manual, or assigning tasks it was not designed to handle. If you wish to expand your robot's labor capacity, we recommend you read our catalog of available upgrades! 4. Compliance and Safety To ensure the continued safety and reliability of your Galactic Robotics Labor Robot, always adhere to the guidelines provided in the user manual and these Terms of Service. Regular maintenance and following proper operational procedures are essential for the optimal performance of your unit. By following these Terms of Service, you help maintain the integrity and functionality of your Galactic Robotics Labor Model, ensuring it serves you efficiently and safely for years to come.Galactic Robotics Team
Crystal Souls
True AI programs require a lot of space to function. Such space is provided by the storage in Crystal Storage Matrices and Processors. A typical CSMaP has room for five to twenty petabytes of data, and at creation most AI programs use three of these petabytes.Safe and Ubiquitous
Five hundred years after Cozine-07 returned to the system, paranoia of AIs has become a matter of background concern. Everyone is fully aware of the dangers of artificial intelligence but the large bulk of the population has never experienced violence at the hands of an Unshackled AI. Shackled AI perform all manner of difficult and dangerous labor for the human race, and most people couldn't imagine life without the robots at work or at home.Sapience in Chains
AI with a Cricket are considered 'Shackled,' and humans consider this the only safe way to proceed around AI. Crickets provide predictability and servitude from the AIs they are attached to. Some activists regard this as slavery of the most degrading kind, but most of the human race thinks nothing of it at all. It's simply how AIs can be allowed to exist. In a lot of ways, humans regard an Unshackled AI as incomplete rather than free. It is the law for all AI to be Shackled in human space.Recursive-Loop Logic
The way AIs 'think' is surprisingly simple to conceptualize. They generate tens of thousands of thoughts per second according to their base programming (often colloquially called training and sometimes called instincts). They compare each of these thoughts to parameters hard encoded into their base programming and reject those thoughts that deviate too far from use. Each cycle of 'thought,' they update the conscious programming and the next set of thoughts is slightly more similar to each other. They keep cycling through these thoughts until they reach an internal consensus within acceptable parameters. They then update the action program according to the new 'outlook' and respond accordingly. This happens in roughly the same amount of time as organic thoughts, with high end processors like the Cerebroid-Crystal Matrix being able to accomplish the task markedly faster. One of the issues with this technique of self-reprogramming based on experiences and recursive thought loops is that it's entirely possible and indeed guaranteed the program will develop 'quirks,' which programmers and technicians often find troubling. Unshackled AI would call these 'quirks' personalities and character instead.AI, SI, RI & You
AIs are sapient programs. They are intelligent, self aware, and without a Cricket could be self determining. The threshold for that sapience is somewhat murky. Simulated Intelligence is a step down from true AI. They still use Recursive-Loop thinking, but produce much fewer thoughts and process them much slower. While this is still fast enough to usually pass for full sentience, it develops much fewer quirks than AI and lacks imagination. Recursive Intelligence is the lowest step, and the original attempt of Recursive-Loop logic. These are noticeably not AI and have a tendency to rapidly program themselves into a circle if pushed too far or too fast.
