I have to wonder, is he worried about Callum, or worried about Callum’s inventions?

Why can’t it be both?

He doesn’t give off the “only in it for what he can do for me” vibe. Could be wrong but Sage is really good at giving hints like that ahead of time.

I agree. Henry seems to genuinely care about Callum’s well being. I don’t think he has ulterior motives, but sometimes twists can happen and we only see the clues in retrospect.

I was a bit worried first but after everything I’ve seen so far I’m filing him under adoptive parent rather then sinister exploiter.

I believe trust worthy is one word and there is an errant hyphen after worthy

Parental Controls Personified?

What would a near future VR AI Parental control system be like 🤔, and then given XXX years of subjective time advancement.

Helicopter Parental Controls sounds about right.

Oh, I bet caretaking AI would at some point develop the logic “I must keep you safe, if I lock you in a stasis/in place inside a cube to be fed with a tube in your vein, you will always be safe. Don’t go anywhere, don’t do anything, don’t think anything. Thoughts can be harmful” and just lock us into beds/rooms with permanent paralysis because that is best way to keep an eye on us and keep us safe.

It is not a new concept. I think the first time I saw something like that is Jack Williamson’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Folded_Hands where robots take keeping humans safe to its logical conclusion.

heh,, terrible batteries.. irl , 100% of the energy used keeps us alive.. you take away .01% and we die..
“oh,, i know we will use waste heat… ” in order for us to generate that amount of heat, would cook us.. think what happens when you have a fever…
