Oh, how cute.
She has become self-aware. Hopefully she keeps to the three prime directives.

Yeah, we wouldn't want her influencing the internal development of pre-warp civilizations. That's a direct violation of Star Fleet's General Order #1.

Giant geek alert!!!!!
Hey Andy, tell that to the Capellans, the Archons, the Iotians, the Yonadans, the Ardanans, the Neuralian hill people, the Yangs and Kohms and the folks on Eminiar and Vendikar.
Or, Asaf, were you referring to the Three Laws of Robotics?

Geek and Spoiler Alert!
Technically four, if you count the Zeroth Law introduced at the convergence of the Robots and Foundation series.

Matt will be spared.

Yes, if you are looking at I, Robot. No, if you are looking at Robocop where they are the three prime directives.

Ah, I've never seen Robocop. Thus the confusion.

Fourth Directive still applies, then.

of course, Jill now exists in a quantum state of dead/not dead that cannot be resolved until someone observes her as either. so clearly no one can ever look at Jill again. that shouldn't be an issue for a stage performer, right?

But is she wave or particle?
Either way, I haven't seen her since the Long Center show. If Jordan is correct, and she now "lives" in a state of quantum fluctuation we may indeed never actually be able to observe her. At least not without affecting her "Jill-ness". Perhaps this has already happened - thus we have "jillybee73". Subsequent observation may well result in "jillybee74", "jillybee75" and so on as the act of observation changes her nature.
Enough of this and the possibility exists that along will come "jillybee24781" who hates breakfast tacos, lacks even a rudimentary sense of humor and whose sole desire is to kill Eric Heiberg.
Then again, a "jillybee
xxx" may come into existence that remembers nothing of Minneapolis and considers Austin the only home she's ever known.
You sneaks your looks and you takes your chances.
