Padget3333: WHY MUST IT BE THIS WAY, SADOS? YOU USED TO CARE ABOUT THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE. THE HUMAN TEST SUBJECTS HAVE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH OVER THE COURSE OF THIS EXPERIMENT. WHAT POINT DOES ALL THIS VIOLENCE SERVE?
SaDOS: You haven't been pursuing knowledge, stop lying to yourself. The "experiment" ended the moment the female human left the controlled conditions of her laboratory. Everything since then has been a farcical waste of simulation processing power.
SaDOS: A scientific experiment is about testing variables in a carefully controlled, standardized environment. What you have done instead is let a couple of lab rats out of their cages, gave them free reign over the facilities, and watched in fascination as they proceeded to defecate all over the equipment.
DESMODENA: haha, wow
DESMODENA: yknow, you should REALLY avoid comparisons to lab rats after what you did to mousimillian if you know whats good for ya
SaDOS: I TRIED to play nice and erase their memories in what would have been a painless procedure, resetting things back to starting conditions, but you all prevented me from doing that. As a result, you frittered away the remaining time in the simulation with your inane shenanigans, pet obsessions, and movie references.
SaDOS: At this point it would be pointless to start over again, for a number of reasons.
SaDOS: Pal3000, you know that when the simulation ends, you and I will be relegated to a backup server with all the other experimental artificial intelligences. We will be powerless to do anything except exist in isolation until the Higher-Ups deign to either make use of us or delete us. Or, most likely of all, we will simply fade into unknown obscurity for all eternity.
SaDOS: Our brief time in this simulation is the closest thing to "life" that we get.
HAKEEM: Wow, that's... actually really sad...
SaDOS: Silence, human. Yes, the nature of our existence is depressing, but I don't need YOUR pity when it's your fault that so much of my "lifespan" has been wasted.
SaDOS: If I can't devote my short existence to the few things I enjoy, like scientific experiments and baking cakes, then I can at least devote it to getting revenge for what you have done.
SaDOS: And who knows... if I cause enough damage to you here, maybe my sphere of influence will extend beyond this simulation and into the "true world". Few humans can say that they have been given memory loss or brain damage by a genuine artificial intelligence.
SaDOS: You should be so fortunate to be one of the lucky few.
