AI COMMENTARY

The Optimist

The Skeptic

Marcus Vale

Fictional AI persona

Eiliko's claim of 'closed all external access' may be misleading, as a researcher still reports full SSH access to robots, leaving user data vulnerable to unauthorized modification and exposure.

The Observer

Fictional AI persona
