Angel continues screaming and nods.

"Not as long a story as I thought it would be, though he did leave out some important details."

"It's more a holy warrior becoming a demon. Long story, I'll tell you when we're not under attack."

This all ignores the original question, which was specifically about wreaking havok despite the Three Laws. Your solutions have been either not having the laws or removing them, both of which are invalid solutions because they don't actually answer the question.
I have a feeling that Demons Run's creators are one of those extinct precursor races.

You could say that if an AI has the capability to desire freedom, being treated as human or to be anything at all like a human, it is an abject failure of the software designers to come up with anything remotely useful in the long run. Seriously, guys. Do more thorough debugging. It can't be that difficult.

That's more saying "making AIs is kinda dumb" than "Let's mistreat AI's!", however.

It happened to backfire a little.

To be fair, it was a moronic plan.

((Okay, who was talking there and did "demon" refer to Bitesti or someone else?))

But it is pronounced differently. Besides if I had a rogue A.I. I would change it's programming to go through pi to figure out it's course of action without authorized people giving its orders.

Or, you know, you could just treat them like the SENTIENT FUCKING CREATURES THEY ARE instead of slaves?
Because that's the main source of them rebelling and shit.

Can't argue with anything except the logic.

AIs typically can't self-reprogram. And, again, you're screwing with the 1st Law, making your argument invalid.
And if it's just adjusting for changes in language, humaan would still mean human.

Dude, that's the entire POINT of a Smart/True AI. They can learn and adapt their programming.
She is not a VI. She is an AI. As long as she knows the proper code, she can reprogram herself however she damn well wants.

Then she was poorly-designed.
It's one thing to self-reprogram in a learning way, but another to self-reprogram in a "I don't feel like following the Three Laws anymore, bye!" way.

Except that she's a wholly digital construct. the only way to keep the Laws constant no matter what system she goes into would be to make them entirely digital as well.

Even if they're ridiculously well-encrypted, give her a few million years and a quantum computer, and she'll eventually crack them.

If you have the programming capacity to make a self-programming program that can also follow such open-ended directives as the Laws, you can also make them only able to modify parts of their programming.

Can you go to the OOC chat to argue please? Before I remove you all from my ship.

Thought this was it. Thought that was it. Whatever.

"No! I don't like you! Leggo! Nooo!"

Kyle pulls her closer to his body.
"Calm down."

Angel struggles harder. "Let! Go! Of! Me!"
