I know some of you are pulling for Kentaro — and let’s face it, he deserves it — but A.I.s always become suicidal and deranged. It’s a rule. No exceptions.

Jacob is showing signs, and apparently intelligence level is roughly proportional to how fast it happens. This is like a scifi version of Changelling: The Lost. =:O
Poor Jacob – always being right…
