[ A cardboard . . . ? robot . . . ? stands in front of you. ]

"Hello. I am pp#50001. Please help me become human."

Look inside for "humanity".
Look outside for "humanity".

Ah, the children-raisin' simulators.

That ain't a child it's a pile of cardboard, Pink.

But I guess if we gotta make it a person we oughta name it, right?

@LAVA: Pinging @pep!pep! with 32 bytes of data.
@LAVA: Please clarify: "humanity" is equivalent to "awareness emergence"?
@LAVA: If true, assisting pp#50001 presents a security risk.

It should be fine cuz they're made of cardboard. I can take 'em out if it gets dicey.

@LAVA: Affirmative.
@LAVA: Cardboard is highly flammable.

Exactly.

How about we name this newb something? Maybe something like Dusty or Sandy?

...'Become human.'

Oh.

Yeah, let's give it a name...

S'that an 'oh I recognize this struggle'?

Dusty or Sandy?

Maybe ya can get some pointers from our lil' guy!

Dusty, gotta balance out the 'S' names now.

Alright! So uh.

In or out? What ya think, Pink?

The last thing I was involved in was over our heads in 'what is human' and 'what does humanity desire' and a lot of that kind of thing.

On what, how not to be a weird shut-in with no friends? [dry.]

Exactly. Admitting ya got a problem is step one good job.

Its a cardboard creature, why is it looking to be human?

[WHAT IS THIS SPECIES CENTRIC BULLSHIT.]

Oh, is that what it means? Why didn't it just say that... [He sighs.]

Why is that a risk?

I think in this case that just means Self Aware probably?

I named 'em Dusty.

The level of risk likely depends on how well we teach it, if we do.

I'd say inside--guess we'll see if they mean metaphorically or not.

I didn't always have no friends. Once I was a weird shut-in with friends.
