Questionable ethics - Living Memory

[Espon]

IMO the issue is not even there. These people aren't people, they are basicly Memory AI. So it not like we would be killing them. HOWEVER, with Omicron lore and just, Ultimat Thule, FFXIV already esthablised that Ai and memory fragment are considered alive and concious being in canon.

So we're in a spot where AI are sentient, but only when it convinient.

I think the citizens of Ultima Thule are a bit different as they are creations of dynamis and don't require living aether to exist. They're also not threatening to make all life in the universe extinct.

Also yea compared to the Ancient, they hardly make it seem like killing the Eternal is a ethic problem, we just do it and don't even try to find peacefull solution, wich you know, even Emet tried with us even to he don't even consider us alive.

Except we did. We tried several times, and Sphene was having none of it because her primary objective is to keep the Endless going no matter the cost.

I guess I used the bad term, rather then peacefull, It would be better to say an ''alternate'' solution to just, consuming all life. As in you know, it an universe where we can travel to the edge of universe in a spaceship and travel people souls into other shards. There most likely an alternate way to keep them alive. (Even to, like you said, Sphene kinda make it hard with how much she reject peaceful option and create a scenario where time is an issue)

As for the citizens of ultimat Thule, I guess dynamis could affect it. But Omnicron are not shades like the other and are just, living AI. Also don't everyone consume living aether? Pretty sure post endwalker MSQ said that food contain it and that you can, in fact, just absorb the Aether out of your food instead of just eating it normally.
