[Joker has had enough alcohol and pain killers -yes mixed what do you wanna fight about it- to actually consider voluntarily speaking to people.]

Hey. Bored people.

What're your feelings on AIs?

What are AIs? [ not deja vu for everyone, gosh peter. ]

[jesus]

Artificial Intelligence. Computers. Really advanced ones that are capable of philosophical thought.

[ wow don't be judge-y. also that's... interesting. ]

If they're capable of philosophical thought, why is their intelligence artificial? Or do you just use that word because they were built.

[ also thanks, he's definitely not picturing anything remotely human-shaped from that description. ]

Yeah, because they were built. Besides, not like being artificial makes you like, less capable of thought. Just depends on-

On- On stuff, I don't know. [He's not a programmer man don't ask him to explain]

On stuff. [ super informative. ]

Then my feelings are that they sound interesting, but I'm glad we didn't have them at home. What're your feelings on them?

[oh my god peeta go read a book about it jeez]

They're all right. Some of them. Others are horrible. Y'know, the most influential ones are horrible.

Generally how I feel about organic people anyway, so there you have it.

[ well write one!! but that assessment of "organic" people sounds completely accurate. ]

So basically they're the same as us. Why are you curious about what other people think? Did any AIs come with you?

[way to hit him where it hurts dude!!]

Nope. Nobody from home.

[ you wanted to talk about AIs man ]

I'm sorry. Is home better than this place, at least? [ because then it's a good thing they're not here, right? sunny side. ]

[NO IT'S NOT

GD IT PEETA]

...so are you gonna tell me you're from one of those places that still uses like, fire for light and writes with pens and paper or something?

[ points for trying ]

Only when we don't have any lamps. [ wow joker, so futurist. ] What, do I seem like I'm from one of those places?

[well maybe if you weren't born in the past then joker wouldn't be such a futurist geez]

I'm getting that vibe, yeah.

What's it like living without space travel? Or any kind of useful commodity? Hey, what's your music like? [is it as shitty as it sounds]

[ joker............ ]

We have hovercrafts. [ probably better than the mako, js. ] And I don't know what you'd define as "useful", but each district contributes something essential. What about this ship? It's not a downgrade for you, is it?

[a drunk frat boy with a saddle is better than the mako]

Hell yes it's a downgrade. [Sorta.] We have to actually get in pods for jumps. Seriously. Because they apparently haven't figured out how to safely travel at FTL speeds yet.

It's like being in the stone age.

[ peeta is absolutely not asking what ftl means because he knows you'll mock him for it. ]

It could be worse. At least you're not writing letters by candlelight right now.

[ theoretically a 'look at the bright side', mostly just shade for being so melodramatic about a spaceship. ]

[you might be from the past peeta but you are a quick learner]

God, I might as well be.

[joker you ARE being melodramatic]

[ probably a good thing this isn't video, because peeta is looking incredibly amused at your expense. ]

How long have you been stuck here?

[ there's a point to this incredibly generic question, bear with. ]
