There's chunks of it floating around the site too..... mostly related to the opening.
Training-wise..... it'sa debate. I'd like it to remain 'a debate'. Entertainment-wise a virtual system will have the edge, because real-life has limitations virtual worlds don't.
I tend to genrally assume that in Fenspace, any mention of an AI is a sapient intelligence. TITANIC has a lot of processing grunt built into it, but in know way is it truly 'intelligent'. It's just a big-arse computer really, punning on Eclipse Phase TITANs and,well, The Titanic. With all the obvious inference of being something hugely complex, yet oddly vulnerable to lettuce. 'TITANIC is syncing' appears on the monitors when an update to the system is pushed to the individual nodes.
It's a combination of cost and capability. Some will be more capable, but much more expensive. Others might be more hesitant to share the techniques behind construction, which makes onsite maintenance troublesome. And Frigga doesn't meet the security requirements for the real high-end stuff. It's also helpful not to be reliant on one supplier, and one single customer. Or for that matter, one single revenue stream.
Throw in 5 Flint-type Androids named Anri, Sylvie, Meg and Nam, each awakened a month apart throughout 2023.
