What Measure Is a Non-Human?/Machinima
- Averted in Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction - the Chairman of the Oversight Committee implies that their government has a series of moral guidelines for dealing with AIs. After evidence that the Director of Project Freelancer tortured an AI in his experiments comes to light, the government decides to create a set of strict morality protocols.
- Subverted: In the Epilogue, the Director justifies his actions, implying that the torture he inflicted on the Alpha AI was acceptable because it was created based on his own mind - he was essentially torturing himself.
- Of course, even if the main characters knew this, it's highly unlikely they'd be inclined to forgive him. Wash and Meta certainly haven't.
- And odds are same with the main Halo universe which RvB is based on.
