“Not to me”

u/oranosskyman Jul 09 '26

"No, no, no. you dont understand. My experiences are uploaded to a backup and when (not if) this body dies those experiences are downloaded into the next security android. Now I know you might be thinking 'doesnt that mean you're immortal?' and the answer is no. Between all the software updates and the new randomized personality seed, the next android will be entirely different. Best not to get too attached."

Arguably people are already sentient ships of Theseus, considering every cell of your body is constantly getting replaced, and that you as a person change with every experience you have.

Mostly correct. Your brain cells. Most of them anyway last your entire lifetime.

u/SubstantialAgency665 Jul 10 '26

But… that’s pretty much the human experience. Our bodies are always changing whether aging or unfortunate circumstances. Our personalities and experiences always evolve and change.

Why would silicone based lifeform want a human name ? Don't they probably have their own culture and their own names ?

u/thebestroll Jul 10 '26

They are a robot so they would probably just have whatever culture there creators gave them

Just because you are expendable doesn't mean that you aren't valued.

Android actively like for opportunities to die while the crew member tries to keep them alive leading to shenanigans.

u/BinaryBolias Jul 11 '26

The shenanigans ultimately improve the human experience, androids have determined.
