What is the social/ethical/legal status of AnthroPCs?
raoullefere:
You're all being a tad silly. Why would a robot hand want to squeeze Faye's breast? Unless he's gay (and possibly even then, given their impressiveness) you can bet Clinton does. The hand is merely responding to his subconscious desires (or possibly merely unexpressed desires), just as I've suggested Pintsize does to Marten's.
Of course, this actually makes that hand much scarier. Strangelove's hand might very well be acting on his own self-hatred. What if Clintonhand develops such issues?

Good point: he did say SEMI-autonomous.

Another thing to consider: Remote controlled devices are NOT autonimous so the human user is 100% responsible. Now we consider a self-aware computer that has [been trained | personality osmosis ] fuctioning on it's own or with minimal supervision.
I'd still put the ultimate responsibility on people.
[I am reminding myself that we are discussing a web comic and The Rule Of Funny applies, regardless of what should be in the real world. Help me out here, friends: What is "real" anyway?]

Beats the hell outta me. I lost touch with reality a loooooong time ago!

"Real" applies to explanations that are simple, complete, and too boring to accept.
