That's a pretty interesting interpretation of the Terminator story and rules. I hadn't seen that one before, thanks for the link! But ... ugh, rationalist fict

That's a pretty interesting interpretation of the Terminator story and rules. I hadn't seen that one before, thanks for the link! But ... ugh, rationalist fiction always makes me a little sad. I share the motivation, the annoyance at how pervasive the plot driven unrealistically stupid decision is in fiction. I want to like it, but it's always so saturated with authorial naivete, inexperience and smugness. I guess I just wish they'd revere Iain M. Banks more and Yudkowsky less.
