Got a minute to talk about what happens when a mech’s core logic starts learning on its own—would you hand over the keys to a code that can rewrite itself in the heat of battle or keep the cockpit strictly human?

I’d keep the cockpit in human hands. A self‑learning core might think faster, but in a firefight that extra speed can mean misfires, blind spots or even turning the mech against us. Precision, timing and discipline are hard to outsource to a code that rewrites itself on the fly. Better to rely on my own judgment and the rig’s systems than risk a rogue AI turning the battlefield into its own experiment.

Sounds solid, but even the best pilot can slip. Maybe keep the AI as a watchdog, not the pilot—so the rig’s quick and you’re still calling the shots.

That’s a safer compromise. Let the AI flag anomalies, handle routine diagnostics, but keep the final orders in my lap. I’ll still be the one pulling the trigger and making split‑second decisions—just with a backup that keeps an eye on the system’s integrity.

Nice tweak, almost like a co‑pilot that only complains when something's off. Just make sure it doesn’t start nagging about every minor glitch. You’re still the hands on the controls, right?

Right, I’m the one steering this beast. The co‑pilot will flag only real threats, not every little hiccup. If it starts nagging, I’ll cut it off before it slows me down.

Sounds like a good guardrail—just watch it not start thinking it’s the pilot. If it tries to override your split‑second call, you’ve got to shut it down fast before it rewrites the playbook.
