“Remember the day we first met, when we discussed automation excess?”

“I do.”

“Since then, I’ve been waiting to ask you something?”

“Then, do.”

Rock and Julio had made best friends of all, which was bizarre because their stance on all-important matters was different, if not opposed.

“Seriously, lizard. You trust AI better than beings?” Julio resumed.

“Listen.”

They were in the library premises. Biltmoreans had set it up in the once Emerald Room, which they had fit out with racks of bookcase and shelves beneath the images of hunt and harvest on the plaster ceiling beams. As reading room, book lovers furbished the split-level Gold Room, formerly a nightclub during the prohibition with nine mirrored French doors, gold plaster ceiling, and oiled wood paneling around, which still preserved their hidden compartments for liquor that the librarian employed to keep in most precious volumes.

Rock left one Bible back into one. After that, he opened and pulled his hood back a little so that to allow eye contact—members of the Bond were always confined in their rooms or hiding, which, in a city full of hikikomories, did not seem suspicious to anyone.

“Automated police and judges grant impartiality; nurses, accuracy; army, discipline. In those positions I absolutely prefer efficiency to empathy and chance,” Rock said.

“Uhm … A disciplined beyond call of duty automated army, would it be more trustworthy? Would such an army be worse or better when coming to someone ordering to press the button?

“No problem as long as not someone” (and Rock was maybe thinking ‘human’) “but some AI gives the order.”
