… That’s… not exactly how I’m used to things going, but then again I don’t deal in spirits and the supernatural. I’m more a 1s and 0s girl.

But I guess if you set up an AI, that just happens too. You can code the base personality and form priorities and rules for them to run to, but how they turn out isn’t something you can predict.
Artificial intelligence isn’t so different from how people function. That’s why there’s so many regulations and concerns about the use of them. Blurring the line between the two’s a bit of a taboo subject, but it’s not impossible. It’s made by other humans — of course one would influence the other.
I know some museums have blades on display, but I don’t know if that’s quite the same thing. If someone stole you and ran around waving you around the streets of Japan, it would still be illegal.

[ just immediately assigns him shinsengumi otaku in her mind. although she does pull out a bottle from the shelf after this: ]
Like this?
no subject
Similar. A shade more green, I think.
[ picks one out that's closer to this and nods. they're so close but ssgm blue is yasusada's theme color. ]
But I also wear a lot of red, black, and gold. Why limit yourself to just one color?
no subject
You need a base though, right? Something to work around as the main design? So.. this annnnd...
[ she's selecting the next colour to compliment it.... black...? and white maybe...? ]
no subject
I guess so. This is more in Kiyomitsu's wheelhouse than mine.
no subject
Kiyomitsu? Is that a friend of yours?
no subject
He is. [ don't tell kashuu he said that. ] We both served the Shinsengumi together. Our masters were very close.
no subject
So you were a samurai, then...? I don't have my local files entirely to hand, but that's basic Japanese history.
no subject
We are the swords of samurai. Tsukumogami. I was wielded by Hijikata Toshizou.
no subject
...
[ huh.
... ]
They had the technology for uploading an AI to a sword back then?!
no subject
I'm not an AI, I'm the spirit of the sword Izuminokami Kanesada. It's got nothing to do with technology.
no subject
As far as I'm aware, ghosts don't exist though. Other than, you know. The ghost in the machine.
no subject
I know a sword famous for cutting down a ghost who would argue with you on that.
no subject
... This place is going to give me a headache. A... spirit? That's not so different to an AI, except... without the technology?
no subject
[ why would he know that, he's baby ]
I don't know much about technology, but I assume it's similar? We're tools made by and used by humans.
no subject
[ it's not like she can touch and move things around normally, looking like this. only in her smaller form, when she's not in ryuki's eye socket. ]

But I guess if you set up an AI, that just happens too. You can code the base personality and form priorities and rules for them to run to, but how they turn out isn’t something you can predict.
no subject
Then maybe we are similar to AI, in some ways.
no subject
[ biased. ]

[ he grins. ]
But at least we don't have that problem.
[ no, you're. just illegal in the modern day. ]
no subject
[ pff. ]
What, with regulating swords? Yeah, because swords were outlawed in modern society.
no subject
Yes, but we're also considered works of art and national treasures. People came from all over the country to see me whenever I was on exhibition.
no subject
I know some museums have blades on display, but I don’t know if that’s quite the same thing. If someone stole you and ran around waving you around the streets of Japan, it would still be illegal.
no subject
And I was never stolen, so I'm perfectly legal.
no subject
[ hewwo ]
Mmhmm. But what if you are stolen someday, what then?
