Apr 8, 2022 at 14:43 | comment | added | Stilez | Yes, but that's all about when there's nothing they can do mission related. On a long trip, all optimal, then no mission stuff so social company is a good thing. What I mean is, when there is anything mission relevant to do, whatsoever, however marginal, at what point do they deprioritise it to be social or other stuff? Like, they could be constantly checking every engine and device 100 times a second in flight, that's going to add a few seconds to mission outcome and improve it. So at what point of tasks, is mission stuff deprioritised | |
Apr 8, 2022 at 11:05 | comment | added | user94655 | @Stilez There are other robots which are like our current robots/tech which only need sensors to function but as these are androids, they already mimic humans in appearance so what seems like a personality can aid in some tasks. As they collect matter as part of long space missions, socialising on a journey does not affect their ability to do their job, also their designer, from knowing humanities progress could realise that androids that can learn and think feely could come up with better solutions. | |
Apr 7, 2022 at 13:17 | comment | added | Stilez | What's .missing for me in the question, is, they are human like but can't prioritise things over mission. So when exactly do they do the free thinking or acting human bit? The Q implies they are constantly on mission, and nothing else matters as much. But clearly the OP intends them to have other things that matter or they do, otherwise whatever their social and thinking behaviour they'd never do any behaving or thinking that wasn't optimised purely for collection. So we need a better idea when collection doesn't matter totally, or what else matters, to.answer | |
Apr 6, 2022 at 12:09 | comment | added | user94655 | @RBarryYoung I forgot to mention self pleasure which is something even less intelligent creatures than us have figured out, or having sex with the same sex, it is an instinctual survival method for the species that has been turned into selfish pleasure. | |
Apr 6, 2022 at 12:07 | comment | added | RBarryYoung | @JarredJones We are genetically programmed to have sex and find it pleasurable so that we will procreate. Evolutionally, sex and procreation were the same thing, but our evolution did not anticipate birth control. | |
Apr 6, 2022 at 12:01 | comment | added | user94655 | @RBarryYoung I think sex is the primary goal which we have deviated from, it is no longer as much about creating offspring. Religion and social pressure keeps it a priority for many but others are free to use it just for pleasure with the help of technology and modern science. | |
Apr 6, 2022 at 11:50 | comment | added | RBarryYoung | Not many humans question their primary goals(*), and they easily come up with tons of reasons and excuses to justify them. (* 1 - stay alive, and 2 - have sex). | |

There is no punishment here or physical controlling force, also the androids have more choice than a soldier that still follows orders, There is no need for me to add more details now as answers have tackled the overall issue. | |

Apr 5, 2022 at 15:24 | comment | added | user94655 | @Pelinore We have survival instincts, I would say we have less instinctual behaviour than less intelligent creatures. We have the ability to leave a job, which is essentially what these androids cannot do. | |
Apr 5, 2022 at 15:13 | comment | added | Pelinore | Frame challenge. Why would they need to have the ability to question their primary goal locked off? we have lots of hard wired (🤔 or semi hard wired) goals, they're called instincts, self preservation (perhaps?) being at the top of the heap, so, probably, our primary' one?, and they all work as intended & function just dandy 99.9% of the time, without nature having to prevent us from thinking about or questioning them. | |
