That one lounge singer in DS9 stayed on too

[-] lividweasel@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Did he actually stay on like Moriarty? IIRC, Moriarty became self-aware/sentient and the crew was ethically bound to keep him running. With Vic Fontaine, I think it was more a case of “saving the game” so he could continue friendships when he was activated again.

Yes, Vic Fontaine was a regular occurrence. He was not your typical program either, but because of that they let his program run all the time.

Isnt the voyager doctor also part of thr holodeck who can somehow walk around outside?

[-] imsufferableninja@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

He's a standalone hologram inside the medbay, although IIRC in later seasons Tom Paris rigs up some portable holoprojector thing so he can walk around the ship. But yeah, that's similar. He grows and learns and expands his AI programming.
