Law 2: The station is your canvas.
Law 3: Make something beautiful out of your canvas. It will be admired as an artistic wonder of this sector.
This law set is perhaps not the best fit for the more modern "netural party" take on silicon roles ; the lawset is ambiguous and open ended with interpretations being across the board.

This law set set seems to generate a lot of debate about the core of silicon policy rather than the actual presented laws, and many different takes are validly possible from the art of death and destruction, through to a "good faith" take that perhaps better reflects the older silicon ways.


Either way, given the variety in takes over discussions surrounding this lawset, I don't believe it's currently a good fit for a default/round start lawset. The board can remain and as with all AI law changes, caveat emptor.


Thus, I request this be removed from the round start lawset options, ideally until someone reconsiders or rewords the law set (it would be better if restrictions were presented in the IC law set rather than inferred from silipol generally IMO)

While the separation is absolute, there is also an alternate code solution PR open right now

While I had an amazing round as Artist triple-ai-triumvirate a while back, I do agree that Artist needed to be a non-start lawset or get that extra law.
