Actually, it seems Jeph already answered most of my questions in the comments of this comic: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1996
Is it cold in here?:
The QC world seems to have a market economy, so eventually anyone who makes robot bodies when nobody's buying them will go out of business.
Ah, but what controls the number of intelligences that get created?

So.. never? I mean, we know AI people can work for their own salaries, so it's not like they wouldn't stay strong customers of things like that. :-)

They wouldn't have an infinite amount of money to spend on new bodies, though.
It would be tough to represent in a comic, but wouldn't a sufficiently rich AnthroPC want to have as many bodies as humans have changes of clothes?

Well, have you ever seen Winslow and DeathBot 9000 in the same room at the same time? Me neither.
