Quote:I am not sure this fits Fenspace...As written this isn't dystopian. Arguably it's humourous - the 'meat' is as fully human as possible so they are good library members! (And, obviously literate.) It is just they're members 'on ice'. Their lives start when they are defrosted at Luna, and they receive support in doing so. Pointing this out to the AIs might be one way Brains would pry their 'frozen membership' free.
a group of AIs producing humanoids with artificial memories as
servants/members? Thats already deep in the dark grey area, more even
than the Shadowrunning story.
and its also mass producing humans? More than 10000 of them? I don't
think this SHOULD be easily possible in Fenspace, even if the forum
decides that it could fit Fenspace.
I'm not saying this should be easy in Fenspace, it's a hopefully unique though potentially incredibly useful and dangerous event - the sort of thing handwavium throws up. A now-dead Mad, their harem plans, their differently social AIs with their own strong motivations, a ready supply of physical and intellectual raw materials - not a common combination. I suspect the Bioroid Moulds require everyone made using them to be unique - no copying or clones.
Trans-humanism, which Fenspace is heading into, protected by the benevolent 'wish granting' tech of handwavium, is about the limits of humanity, and what makes us human. Ultimately, it's about how we live our lives, not where we came from, or how much flesh or metal is in our make-up. Post-humanism, after a Vinge-ian Singularity, that's very difficult, partly because there might not be much that's human left to empathise with. But, we can hope.
