Travers and Greer
Why is it Travers who says
“[the people we killed are] A small minority, Mr. Finch. And all to effect a greater good. We sorted them.”
Does Greer not agree with this? Can’t he say those words, admit what the ASI, created from the code he stole, has done?
Or did they just want to give the actor some more meaningful screen time? (I doubt it, though).
Because Greer only says
“How can you deny the good that Samaritan has done?”
Greer only talks about the good things SAM has done. This is what sets him apart from Harold (next to not restricting his ASI); Harold actively acknowledges flaws of The Machine or when she oversteps moral lines.
Greer, on the other hand, he is... like a scientist. A scientist who has created a microorganism. And he just studies the microorganism. And just as well, he only benefits from it. However, he is willing to die for those benefits; the benefits he believes to be good for the world, for humanity.
It reminds me a bit of Root’s bad-code-philosophy:
Greer: “They're (TM, SAM) the only two gods of their kind. And the next step on the evolutionary ladder.”
And he thinks like Root, that an ASI is the next step in evolution, while Harold sees an ASI as something humans can benefit from, not the next generation of life forms but something to co-exist with humans.
Idk what I want to express, though, just needed to write my thoughts down...
