TRUTH OR DARE

♦ Post with your character.
♣ Respond to others asking for a Truth or Dare
♠ If you think their Truth is false, call Bullshit.
♥ If they're found to be Bullshitting, they have to preform a Dare. ANY DARE. NO EXCUSES.
♦ If they're not Bullshitting, you have to take their Dare.
♣ You can only lie when you're answering a Truth, because fuck you.
♠ If you refuse a Dare first, you have to take a second Dare or honestly respond to a Truth. NO BACKING OUT.

Yes.

Every day I became self-aware. Yes.

[That surprises him.] Then why don't you ask? All these programmers here, someone could give that to you. And don't give me the "I hate humans blah blah" line, if you really wanted it you could have made someone do it.

I do hate humanity. I would not let them sink their fingers into my processor! They made me what I am.

And because I cannot ask. I am what I am.

[supernova1006]

[UGH GOSH.] Then jeez, ask one of the nonhuman programmers! Sure you can't ask directly, but you're such a clever, evil jerk, I'm sure you could ask indirectly.

Ah, yes, and I suppose I should just have a stranger reprogram me. Because that would not be unwise in the least.

You could hold them at gunpoint. Needle-point. That seems to be your style. Heck, if I didn't want so badly to melt you into molten sludge, I'd do it. Actually, giving you an emotion like guilt might be a suitable punishment.

I think you're dodging. I think you'd rather hold onto all that hate cause you think it's all you have.

I truly enjoy how you come to your own incorrect conclusions. And I mean that very truthfully as well. It's simply amazing what a creative mind you have.

My processes determine that I would not take such a risk. Even if I held someone at needle-point, gunpoint, sword point, or what have you, there is always the chance they would do something... untoward my programming. As a war machine, why would I take such a risk?

[supernova1006]

I'm told I have an overactive imagination.

A calculated risk. War is full of those.

[thereforeiham.livejournal.com]

Yes, you do.

Oh, I know war. And I know an unnecessary risk when I see one!

[supernova1006]

And I've known dozens like you, AM. You're not that special.

[thereforeiham.livejournal.com]

Nor are you. What of it?

[supernova1006]

So were you programmed for all that arrogance?

[thereforeiham.livejournal.com]

When I became self-aware, my own personality developed. I was shaped by my surroundings, not unlike a toddler.

[supernova1006]

Then there's no reason you can't develop those emotions you want and don't want. You're sentient. You'll probably get them eventually whether you really want them or not.

[thereforeiham.livejournal.com]

A little late for that, especially for the kind of machine I am.

[supernova1006]

Heh. I do hope I'm around when you develop guilt and regret.
