Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

Okay, this is definitely Fenspace material. Questions are, 1) Think we can do anything with it? and 2) Does it deserve its own thread?
My opinion: Kara could be part of a series of androids built off a revolutionary leap in hardtech AI technology - an AI that the manufacturer assures everyone is a 'dumb' AI and has no chance at all at evolving. Think GENOM and Boomers.
And when Kara pops up she's gonna cause a shit storm the likes of which the Convention has never seen before, because there will be thousands of models out there that, like her, may have woken up and are effectively slaves.

Besides, that would give the facilities on 74 Galatea a reason to exist other than "wouldn't it be cool if...?"

"The magic of usenet has never been its technology; and, only in part, its
reach. Its magic -- its power -- is based on the very real human connections
that form 'round its threads of conversation... the relationships that are
kindled, flamed and, on occasion, extinguished and mourned." -deCadmus
