barhandarold: Asenion is any robot guided by Asimov laws. Non-asenion is therefore any robot _NOT_ guided by Asimov laws. How exactly does having a different set of laws require periodic networking?

It doesn’t. But think about this: viruses.

To ensure that the sentients remain impossible to make illegally, each engineer is required to develop at least one virus for their final exam and release it into the wild, and make them transmittable through whatever mean the robots have. There’s ways to avoid them, sure, but exactly because of that the viruses have to evolve and each new generation of engineers is awlays trying to outdo the last one

JUST GIVE IT UP ILLEGAL SENTIENTSEXUALBOTS ARE A WASTE OF TIME OK
