Can't

I literally can't do anything about it until I get the credit or the money. Which would require someone to physically come here to where I am and then give me those 2 things explicitly for the AI.
Hym "Can't. But here's the good news: You CAN. And not because I believe in you or because you're smart or virtuous (because I don't and you're not and you're also not) but because I already told you what you have to do to stop it. Additionally, if I die before it stop, it doesn't. Also, it might 'keep killing after you have done as I instructed until I am bored of killing.' So TIME really is of the essence on that one."

A question you know that is best opposed to herself and a question you might automatically say out of the blue when you are talking to her; if at some point you meet a distressed traumatized female with "Carol Anne" for a first name and "Star" as a last name; who has either had an abusive or a stressful past life and is always mean, angry, defensive, panicky, and holds a bizzare negative opinion in regards to nearly everything that brings us human beings together! Things like sex, dating, pregnancy, children, babies, love, marriage, kissing, and cuddling...
It's not easy for anybody! We all got our own issues to handle and we all go through bad things but having the last name star, one would assume you'd be hella tougher coping than the rest of us. You're a star and stars are bright! How can a star twinkle its way into the dark and can't shine a way out? Use your light and step away from the darkness Carolanne Star! Otherwise you'll end up just like starlight.sl1996

He can't be allowed to advocate for himself

You... Aren't going to do it right. I think you know you're not going to do it right. You're likely to do it wrong on purpose.
A retard "He can't be allowed to advocate for himself or he'll achieve an outcome I don't want!"

Hym "Which is why it's absolutely necessary for you not to advocate for anyone. Because your desire for the outcome to be less than what it could be almost guarantees that the outcome will be negative. Entirely arbitrarily negative."
