Talk:Roland

Episode 4
Can I just say I was thoroughly entertained by Roland's part in Chapter 3 of this Episode. Col.  Snipes  4  50  17:41, 26 November 2012 (EST)

Generation Notion
Just a bit of speculation, but perhaps Roland is based on the third-gen smart AI template. Halsey was partly responsible for the third-gen's creation, and could have implanted the "undid-iridium" failsafe in the core programming of a great many AIs in this way.

 * Even if he's not a third-gen, it's possible that the subsequent generations have large swaths of code copied directly from gen-3; I doubt they'd start from the ground up when programming them, and Halsey could've hidden the failsafe somewhere in the C-PIE coding in a way that no one else would even notice. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 23:49, 14 October 2013 (EDT)
 * Re-using the same code, instead of it being the exact same code, might also account for why Roland was able to break it. Halsey didn't seem to be expecting that. Spartan 501
