    b.add(costco.retrieve(costco.items["milk"], 6));
}
else {
    b.add(costco.retrieve(costco.items["milk"], 1)); 
}
costco.commit_transaction(b);

goddamnit lmao 🤣🤣

also I feel a bit weird that my personal stance is that pronouns (except "it") isn't necessary to a thing, or robot. But since the game uses she/her pronoun for glados, I just kind of went with that.

I usually feel like pronouns (except "it") is just for human. But people do use pronouns to animals sometimes. I guess it's valid & not just for human.

Ultimately I'm not so familiar with it. English is my second language and my native language doesn't have gendered pronoun.

I completely forgot what post am I in 😆 I kind of feel like she's a just a sentient AI, controlled by personality cores and tasked to do the jobs Aperture Science is supposed to achieve.

What made me feel that way is because there's a possibility/implied that Caroline didn't consent to be put into glados, and the fact that glados can also be activated & deavtivated by Aperture workers. Also since her personality can be adjusted, like when she has high urges to murder, the Aperture workers just put morality core.

Also I'm not sure if Glados is properly aware that she's doesn't live in the same body as Caroline then nor I'm sure if glados know that Cave Johnson is dead. Or if did she ever found that out, I don't remember, I don't remember much of Portal 2.

I suppose she's more like omnics in Overwatch. Omnics are like sentient robots. But in Overwatch, omnics are treated closer like a human than ordinary robots.

I mean what Overwatch did is to make an allegory to IRL systemic racism. But since realistically now in real life omnics are still not human, so my position is that both omnics & glados, a very advanced sentient robots, are not human.

I still got my pizza hut delivered the last time I tried. but that was several years ago. maybe they stop delivering.

damn that's like a philosophical question.

But in my opinion, if it's a real human consciousness and it's the one itself that have total authorithy for their body, then I think it's human. Like cyborg.

Except when it is not entirely independent, like stalkers in Half-Life 2, they're under control of someone else. Or Half-Life headcrab zombies where it's under control of the headcrab, but the human is terribly miserable. I think killing the zombie would put that misery to end which helps the hijacked person.

If it's not a real consciousness but merely an LLM spit out of the persons' lifetime social media personality data, then it's a clanker.

I think this is kind of more realistic, social media corporation will launch a feature that "revive" a dead person as a personality that people can interact with, but they will try to humanize it as much as possible in the marketing language, implying it's a real consciousness while in reality it's just LLM built on top people's data.

But who am I, I'm not a philosopher.

imagine AI is An Intern™, wtf do you mean you just gave full company data authority to An Intern™. wtf do you mean you dn't have a back up any case An Intern™ messed up.

lol

This game removed landlords to fix high rent cost issue lol. if only life imitates art
