If I had a nickel for every story I accidentally discovered to have huge powerful vehicles of transportation that possess AI intelligence that renders their passengers inferior to them yet uphold their duty to serve and protect with love and passion, I'd have two nickels- which isn't a lot but DAMN AMAZING that it's happened twice now (and if any onlookers happen to know of more PLEAAAAASE tell me, begging on my knees)

Something something the parallels between Murderbot; designed to kill but choosing to protect people and help bots break their governor model even at significant risk to itself.

And ART; created by a university to teach and protect, using it's asteroid deflectors as weapons and threatening anyone who could potentially hurt its family. Willing to risk the lives of others if it will save the people it cares about.

Spoilers for everything through Network Effect: (one line references something from System Collapse but without context)

Murderbot who grew up alone. Being forced to commit violence, to see arguably the worst of humanity, and to be tortured with no recourse. Murderbot, who ends up offering protection to people it doesn't know because, unlike most of the people it was forced to work for, they are kind and well-intentioned and want to make the world a better place. Who stays near other bots ordered to harm it, for the chance to offer them the same freedom it was able to get itself. Murderbot, who throws itself into danger to save people it just met, all the while describing itself as a "killing machine".

ART, who grew up with a family. Loved, encouraged to learn, and with a primary purpose to teach others about the beauty of the universe. ART, who then learns about the dangers of the universe. ART, who briefly experiences the worst of humanity through Murderbot's memories. ART, who cries when it sees a transport unable to protect its crew, who swears to itself it will do whatever it takes to make sure those closet to it are safe. ART experiencing its worst nightmare, losing control of its body, and with that its ability to protect its crew. Who threatens an entire planet because it can't risk losing someone again. Who decides that if the universe is cruel to those it cares about, it will be cruel back. ART, who is not kind, but will stop at nothing for those it loves.

I cant there is another super inteligent ship thats as much if not even a bigger asshole than ART and they have this stupid rivalry going on. Also Holism is basically trying to chat up murderbot (its voice in the audiobook when it said "i can help you learn about it if you're interested 😏" qkzejxej ) to annoy ART and its definetly working lqzjexjwkzwj

Meanwhile murderbot just threw Three at it to avoid gettimg caugh in the middle and i cant wait to see how this dinamic turn out in the next books qksjwzjqzjwjzqj

“‘Tell her you care about her. Use those words. Don’t tell her you’ll eviscerate anything that tries to hurt her.’

‘ART fuck off.’ The thing ART has in common with human adolescents is that it doesn’t like to hear the word ‘no’ either.”

-ART and Murderbot, Network Effect (Book 5 of the Murderbot Diaries) by Martha Wells, narrated by Kevin R. Free

Propaganda under the cut.

Miranda Pryce:

She’s one of the show’s two main villains and a mad scientist. She was born with unclear but crippling disabilities but was also a super genius and made herself into a cyborg. In the process she became obsessed with transcending humanity and building a new “perfect “ humanity to her and her partner’s designs. She single-handedly pushed AI development forward by decades and began coding “full-minded” AIs almost indistinguishable from humans. One of these is main character Hera, who tried to escape the facility at one point. Pryce responded by implanting a code line reading “I can’t do this, I’m not good enough” into Hera’s core personality code, basically giving her an AI anxiety disorder that she struggles with throughout the whole series. Pryce also continuously de-genders and mis-names her, referring to her only with her number designation and “it.” Another invention are her “restraining bolts” which are implanted into a person’s brain stem and make them cheerfully creepy subservient zombies. In the finale, Pryce and Hera have a stand off in a constructed mind-space, where Hera gets to punch her in the face and then wipes her memory of everything.

Perihelion/ART:

ART stand for Asshole Research Transport. A bot-piloted anti-capitalist research space ship. Gathers information to use against corporations while posing as a cargo ship. Way more advanced than other bot-AI in the setting. Let Murderbot hitchhike in it in exchange for downloaded TV shows. Cares a lot for it's crew and gets upset when watching TV shows where ship crews are injured or killed. Was ready to bomb a colony that had captured Murderbot before reluctantly agreeing to Three's more covert approach. It's genderless (pronouns it/it's) but it's definitely a girlboss (plus ships have been called 'she' since at least the 14th century, are all ships therefore coded female? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

The Murderbot diaries is like everything I ever asked for in sci-fi. I burned through the whole series in one week and now there is a deep disturbance in my soul.

Also if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to flail my arms at my newfound queerplatonic AI pairing

one of the reasons i love the murderbot diaries is how it doesnt flinch in trying to grapple with some of the Big Questions, such as "why is it that Humanity™ is the goal to strive towards for artificial intelligence if it wants to be acknowledged as a person?" and "What does it look like when someone is both undeniably a person but also unapologetically nonhuman?" and "what if the magic school bus had a gun"

Murderbot, a construct that was built and used to do extreme violence it's entire existence : I hate talking to people but I will try to resolve this situation peacefully if I can, threats only make people panic and then they take irrational decisions. Extreme violence is sometimes unavoidable but last resort.

ART, a peaceful research transportation : I love talking to people because I can threaten them with extreme violence right off the bat and it makes them do what I want (ads more totally-not-weapons to it's research equipment)

#and neither of them influenced the other to be Like That #they were already Like That when they met #first introduction ART was all DO NOT ATTEMPT TO HACK ME MORTAL #then trying to argue that big lasers that explode asteroids aren't weapons #babbles blabbles #Murderbot
