>>53344126I have no horse in this race, but I would consider it extremely funny if the AI heroically sacrificed itself by travelling back in time, the timemachine messed up location and time, the AI ends up in heaths time, possibly being dropped from a height, hitting its head, releasing its Paradox mons and jumbling the code and suddenly you have this bumbling buffooon of a robot actively sabotaging itself by giving Heath knowledge about timetravel.
To make all of this sense, you would also have to assume Heath has Alzheimers or something as he keeps forgetting about his encounters with the AI.
The whole reason why the SV plot happens is an Alzheimer patient and a robot with braindamage. Yes, I believe this is my headcanon now.
