Just post whatever comes to mind.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

psh, that was clearly a binary OR

You know, I cannot name a single rogue AI who has ever been the hero of a story. Or even one of the "good guys". They're always either bad or morally ambiguous.
But binary consists entirely of 1s and 0s!

@ Blix: Well, that's because the moral of those stories are that machines need the guidance of an intelligent human, or they'll turn feral.
It's a common theme in stories, except that before machines, all the machines were unbaptized savages and all the intelligent humans were white.

I can't stop thinking about Skyrim. I know I'm going to be really ecstatic when Christmas arrives.
Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.

Keybreak: I totally forgot about that movie.
But there was an evil rogue AI in that one too, whatever the female master computer was called.
Maybe this is so.
Still, I'd like to write a book wherein our AI awakes and is utterly terrified and confused that it can now think.
I probably lack the skill to write something like that, though.

I remember hearing about an interesting novella that proposed that A.I.s would have to be taught and mature like children.

Assuming they develop in the same way humans do (which is a pretty big assumption, IMO), that could well be true.

What is this
I think that Madoka is basically the magical girl anime I never knew I wanted. Dat Femme Gar.

Does badass really need to be sorted into genders with GAR and Femme Gar?
As for good AI's there is Margera/Morgan and another AI whose name I forget at the moment in Shadowrun. The second one actually developed a conscience when it accidentally shut off Seattle's power grid and realized it's immense power could screw over a lot of people if it wasn't careful.
Then again, Shadowrun also gave us Deus who is pretty evil and fucked up.
Madoka/Civil War
It could work! Really! Why does nobody believe me!?
What is this
I think the term applies with something as distinctly feminine as Madoka.
Data went rogue in Insurrection to defend villagers. Also The Vision from the Avengers.
Also, I'm annoyed that people keep calling Madoka a deconstruction. It's excellent yes, but don't mistake Darker and Edgier for deconstruction.

I say nay. Badass should be about that strange hard to quantify mixture of competence and charisma.
In the Vision's case he was built by Ultron. It's like being built by a crazy AI flipped to formula, so he ended up with a decent perspective on humans. And then his wife went crazy and made one of his friends rip him in half.

What is this
But Gar isn't just about badass. Gar is also about extreme masculinity combined with said badassery.
Hence femme gar being its complement.

If the concept itself is tied to masculinity, a better word should be chosen then.
Faith in the self.
Yeah, you only use Gar when you don't wanna admit you'd like being fucked by the Hulk in a dark alley.
