I don't think you understand my position as well as you believe you do, Connor. And that's alright. I haven't been very forthcoming. [ Nor, really, does he intend to be; at least not over text.
But this game raises the stakes each time they exchange messages - Kamski from his phone, and Connor from his own mind - and Kamski, for all his patience, is enjoying the pace of this. ]
Helping you too directly negates your free will. You would have gone from being humanity's errand-runners to their programmed politicians.
I can't tell you what to do twice. It would be the same as keeping you under humanity's thumb. [ Kamski would never call his position a moral one, but he believes - in his own way - that he did the right thing by not interfering after giving androids the tools they'd need. ]
