Re: Precise difference between Social Stigmas: Subjugated vs. Valuable Property?

In any case, Subjugated is used in ultra-tech books to refer to objects that are as expensive as cars or more - up to the millions of dollars. |

Re: Precise difference between Social Stigmas: Subjugated vs. Valuable Property?
Matters of degree ARE the difference between valuable and disposable. And while AI's may be valuable specific iterations of AI are not. To let me take an example, my computer's operating system is quite expensive if I were to buy it from scratch. But returning it to factory settings is not even though if it was an AI, I would be destroying all of its unique traits that make it an individual.

Re: Precise difference between Social Stigmas: Subjugated vs. Valuable Property?
I think that the discrepancy might be cleared with a minor change in wording: Valued property [-10]. My car is much more valuable than my dog. My dog is much more valued than my car.
The value (point cost) of the disadvantage really reflects less the legal status and more the owner's response. A bioroboid designed to do manual labour and a bioroboid designed to emulate my nanny could have the same cost; but damage to one is more likely to be responded to with a shrug than damage to the other. In this case, the Nanny-bot is Valued property and is far more protected (anywhere where I am known) than my Drone-bot. And by the way, the idea that slave-owners, at any time in human history, thought of the vast majority of the "outside slaves" as being anything other than disposable bits of machinery is not in keeping with the historical record. "Inside slaves" were another thing altogether. |
