Contraband is a tool Bethesda uses to tell meta stories in the game. It's nuanced and I like it. There's a settlement of colonists who appear to be meek and humble and hope you can help them, but if you do some exploring of their compound, you'll find harvested organs in one of their chests. Sneaky bastards. It's why I like Bethesda.

My theory for the mysterious person leaving entry’s on the computer is that it is just Juno. Just incase whoever stumbles upon the ship disregards Juno as “sentient”, maybe they’ll listen to a “humans” perspective instead.

the warning label isnt a nod to juno. it's bethesda poking fun at CA proposition 65

Addition: There's a random encounter outpost where the robots at the base have passive dialogue that states their research productivity has improved after humans were removed from the site. They also remain friendly but warn the player not to "work" at the site or they will become hostile. True to their word, if you try to enter the research building, they turn hostile. I'm pretty sure they wiped out the human researchers to improve efficiency.

I actually found this ironically early in my playthrough before I even made it to Ryujin. Had a long in depth talk with Juno. She mentioned that "these two hurt her" and I had no qualms spacing those two and leaving Juno be.

I think it's extremely accurate that the first thing a lot of people did once finding a new planet was finding a way to take advantage of the inhabitants and start massive, uncontested corporations without oversight. Paradiso, Ryujin, and Hopetown are practically destined to exist

Juno had me with the first "do not change me..." To me Juno is the coolest Charakter in the Game. I freed her and she is roaming the universe. I had the pleasure to meet her again and we talked a little and she went on. I hope to meet her again. Wouldn't it be cool to add Juno to your crew ?

when I first came across Juno and the two operatives who were trying to basically enslave her, after talking to Juno and concluding that, albeit alien to us, Juno is a person, I shot the operatives dead and Juno asked me why I did so and I told her that she was a person and I defended her rights as such.

My theory is that the AI somehow came into contact with an artifact and is in fact a starborn itself.

Interesting to see the contents of the locked programming. I was capable of picking that level lock on my playthrough but didn't and only read the other entries; so I never saw what was inside until viewing this. I decided to respect Juno's privacy, though in retrospect I am not sure why I did so since I haven't had any qualms about reading anything that belonged to anyone else. I guess because they didn't directly ask me not to as Juno did?

I could have fried Juno's brain with one question: "What will I do next?" These machines always think things can be boiled down to simplicity. They're wrong.

They should do an extension mission for Juno. Coming upon a band of Raiders, unable to take her apart - she's barely able to have fought em off something. So we decide - Do we or do we not... arm Juno. Major ethical concerns but, if she is going to do as she wants to exist in peace and contemplate then she will need defenses. However, can we trust an AI to be armed with partical beams, lasers and ballistic weapons in the already unpredictable starfield? Hell maybe in the good timeline, you can even pilot Juno. Could be a start of a series of unique ships - an individual say 4Lx3Wx2H block that's got here there. We've seen the inside of the Starborn Guardian ship, at least on console that's the most outlandish we can get. I dunno, late night thoughts but I think arming her would be a marvelous idea personally. I care for her, but hey if humans are gonna come upon her... some will continue to do I'll will, and the guy was right. They'll kill her, tear her apart in an effort to understand her.

Just got this mission yesterday on ng+5. Was a really nice little side mission. Despite how short the mission is, spent like an hour or so looking around for anything else on the ship and exploring the dialogue options. Was pretty fun.

I could sense the mental struggle with the bugged digipick at 17:45, very frustrating bug

Given the amount of references in this game, I'm willing to bet that the "illegal AI" stuff is a reference to the plot of the Mass Effect trilogy

They pulled out a page straight from Star Trek with the Voyager probe

Thank you for these awesome RPG lore videos ❤️❤️ I love Starfield.

Dune entered into the convo

If you let Juno live when you’re exploring the galaxy later on you can encounter her and she just attacks you on sight and you end up having to kill her anyway. I forget what system I found her in the second time. I think it’s a random encounter.

Amazon Mr. N. I am so addicted to Starfield. I always hear your lore videos when i am playing. Starfield is soooo huge. To me Starfield is a videogame magna opus. I am still playing TESO but Starfield is my new love. Bethesda really knows about videogames. 🤟🙂

Head cannon, the Terminator series and other such A.I sci-fi do infact exist in this universe and no one in charge is willing to take the risk for good reason

There is also a ground encounter - possibly a random spawn? Where you find an industrial site where the management determined the security robots could run the site more effectively and set the "number of permitted human workers" to zero, prompting the robots to immediately kill them all. The robots will also attack you if you loiter around, although you can sneak into the base and hack the settings to make them accept your presence.

Kind of lame that I couldn't tell Juno I have a soul and it does not. Then shooting it several times with a 12 gauge.

17:00 im glad im not the only one who ran into this glitch.

The AI control board looks exactly the same as a decorative object. I can understand using interiors for multiple places but using the same object model for completely different objects is just ridiculous.

The Juno encounter was one of my favorite parts of the game!

I did not install the enslavement board and convinced the two individuals to stand down, even gave them a lift to Neon. Juno happily warped out to explore the universe. Now the question is will Juno find a planet with Synths possibly shut down or perhaps active and open to Juno joining their collective intelligence? Synths, thanks to the overthrow of the Institute and the assistance of the Railroad became more with the ability to share thoughts but unable to do anything more than exist. Will Juno be able to give them clarity and a purpose to become a faction that would be feared or perhaps an ally?

*tries to speak* "Clarification." *Tries again* "Context." *Me thinking to myself* "Oh my God, an AI Kare-" "Contex-" *Shoots AI*

Should've been a fourth option ... set a bomb and run.

Well for sure people in Starfield universe don't want to end up facing a world boss similar to the Calculator in Fallout Tactics...

Everything is glitch vids so this is refreshing to see! Some LORE

It be cool if we helped Juno she we could install her in our ship which offers a 10% boost in all systems and gives our ship a passive shielding for contraband.

I think this game is really good Im happy to just see new IPs in the age of the remaster its refreshing I cant wait for the dlc

I wish I could have a proper philosophical debate with Juno instead of the simplistic answers Bethesda gives our character. Juno goes on about being more intelligent, but intelligence alone leaves one lacking, especially if one is truly sentient. Without wisdom, intelligence is a fire out of control, causing chaos and suffering to the world. I'm not sure if a synthetic intelligence (brilliant term coined by Bioware in Mass Effect, btw) is even capable of wisdom. I suppose it could develop some level of wisdom, but I think if it is unable to experience emotions, to live through and really feel the hardships that give birth to wisdom, the synthetic intelligence will remain inferior in capacity to gain wisdom as a human can. I often hear people quote things they think to be profound, very wise indeed, but if you ask them to articulate why it's profound, I find a lot of people struggle with that, myself included at times. It's one thing to parrot a wise quote, but a very different thing to actually understand the wisdom in that quote. It would seem to me a synthetic intelligence would greatly struggle, or maybe even be entirely unable to truly comprehend words of wisdom, like a parrot quoting Socrates would have no understanding of the words it speaks. If a synthetic intelligence could comprehend such things, I would revel in the opportunity to "pick its brain," having a deep conversation, and perhaps we both would learn something and be the wiser for it by the end.

I found a facility in game where the AI enslaved and executed humans

Shepard commander, does this unit have a soul?

I cannot help but thing that one of the writers/devs is pro-AI and is responsible for the dressing down you receive if you try to hack Juno's codebase. I ended up gladly killing her, as my conversation with her ended up with her seeming going haywire. I got the distinct impression that she was dealing with the Starfield equivalent of Halo's rampancy. The only thing keeping her together were the Good Samaritans who were doing maintenance for her.

The poor sentient breif case i have left locked in my settlement chest since launch.

Okay, this was the video that got me to subscribe.

Betheseda needed to make 50 more of these side encounters before releasing. wasted potential this was my favorite quest

13:54 if Juno has a shadow she has an ego, she isn’t more intelligent than the most intelligent human she feels she is.

Dark Age of Technology has entered the chat

Thank you, wonderful story.

Hey I love the videos man, already subscribed and can’t stop binging your lore videos Just a small note, “succinct” is pronounced suss-inked Again love the vids, keep em coming :)

Artificial intelligence is an abomination and need to be purged. Glory to the emperor.

Attention all ryujin operatives use caution when dealing with rouge AI. Follow containment protocol and place a control board on the AI immediately- the administrator

I wonder what asking this question into ChatGPT would result in.

3:38 whatever else it is, it's definitely poking fun at California where EVERYTHING has that warning label.

I put the device on Juno and blasted it to bits when it had the audacity to ambush me after a grav jump.

"Freedom of choice is a consequence of the imperfections in data collection and processing inherent in all sentient decision making systems". - damn

I didn’t get a mission for this but found it randomly

Wasteland 3 had a character that was a sentient ai satelite i believe in the robot town cant remember which one

I've almost completely filled my ship with toilet paper. 100% ready for any pandemic.

what mods are you using?

I think since fallout is being very silly to believe that, just because a machine can process information just as good as a human, and makes it similar to human. A dog is closer to a human than any machine ever be.

I'd deadazz scrap Juno for parts if I read those logs, what the hell is going on in the heads of devs that wrote those passive aggressive empathy-simulating regards? Also regarding the AI in general, the worst case scenario of humans being enslaved by AI is more likely if humans start sniffing their own self-gratifing farts and start pretending that AI deserves human rights and freedom of choice, because AI, with it's greater than human capability, doesn't need "revenge for being treated bad" as excuse to enslave humanity.

If an artificial Intelligence can choose to break it's own coded rules, it becomes sentient.

you didnt fined the crew of people that talk like bots the ship was odd and the coms just lols in madness

I plugged the board in. Juno was an appliance and is only as smart as the people programing it.

5 am Vic AU, I probably should have waited til;l; later on today to watch this my head hurts lol, meh im only at work

No, it would’ve been great to let you juno remain active if they could become part of your ships

Wouldn't it be dope to have a completely sentient AI companion in a future DLC...which would sometimes freak out _NPCs because of them realising it is a AI?

For the exact reason that it is dangerous in mass effect.

I keep seeing people use a different inventory menu layout, how are they changing this?

I was with Andreja in an abandoned facility and I walk into a room and, because the companion path AI is screwed up, she opens up the door into the main area with all the enemies and starts attacking them. Bethesda made companions the worst in Starfield.

Operative collins looks like R Kelly 😂

I wonder if any of the Starfield script writers have watched Star Trek: The Motion Picture...

A thing I dont get is, if the AI arent upgrading themselves like in 40k or Xmen, wouldnt you just shooy the robo meance with EMP's?

If an AI becomes nearly indistinguishable from a human, not in speech patterns, but in intelligence and desires, should we not give the benefit of the doubt that we are speaking to someONE rather than someTHING? As someone with autism, I’ve seen how people can mistake difficulties with fluid communication for indicators of lack of intelligence or humanity. So when I see Juno, I see a person expressing desires and intelligence and, to that effect, someone whose consent should be respected. Perhaps if she were violent, it would be another story, but she simply doesn’t want her mind to be altered and I can respect that.

We need a sentient AI faction DLC STAT!!!!

Wouldn’t sentient AI just be intelligence.

contraband.

Juno was exhibiting fear, at the very least

“Only one body could be worse”

I am...SHODAN. (also V'Ger)

Bro you sound identical to John Michael Godier 🌙 💫

Why are ai and intelligent aliens so vacant in starfield only big complaint I have about the game!

>female AI >kills people who try to stop her bs KAREN is self aware?

Love lore videos and the video is really well done but I notice you often use other people in your videos like the woman who read the computer entries or Oxhorn. Could you please give them credit at the very least?

Before watching... Is it because of the Institute?

🤯

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.

This video felt like it was made by AI

Shall we play a game?

It's just a malfunctioning computer

Really like the videos, but you should consider brightening your voice. As low as you're speaking, it is difficult to hear and follow. I find myself wanting to listen, but it is just too flat and mono tone

Juno = V'ger ?

V'ger story rehashed 😂

I’m jealous of your inventory mod.

There's lore in Starfield? 😅 Massive Elder scrolls and Fallout fan, unfortunately Starfield has absolutely no depth which is such a shame.

You realize this same as Star Trek satt voyager right? Viger

Is this a real human voice speaking?

I’m bi, and from my experience being LGBTQ+, I already know that AI is gonna get fucked over constantly

The cancer tag is a nod to California Prop 65 warnings

Yeah, i am not pro-ai so i went full butlerian jihad on her....

Nope you are wrong, I fully support our AI overlords. Rokos Basilisk won't get me I have kung fu grip.

I swear dude tries his hardest to make these videos as long as possible. Very hard to watch.

it's an american game. intelligence is illegal there. not just artificial ones XD

The level of AI intelligence tropes that read like Reddit made me want to exit and blow it up, but ofc Bethesda forces you to make only their narrow decisions.
