Robots arent sentient, though. Jephs robots act like no reallife robot would act. Computers are mathematical machines, if they "show feelings" then its because an algorithm tells them to, not because there is the slightest hint of feeling in the machine. Just as an example, reallife robots do not get bored. Ever. They compute pi to the ten power n number of digits just fine, without ever wondering why they're doing it.
Black Sword:
I thank Monsieur Jacques for putting in visual form why sapient AI should never be allowed under any circumstances.

That's definitely PT410X's opinion.
But he's always been a little bitter.
Throg:
Somewhere in a twitter a while back, Jeph mentioned that he's into Iain Banks' The Culture novels.
These comics, though, are beginning to make me think the QC-verse is the origins of the Culture in 2030's Northampton.
That is, before First Contact, hyperspace travel...
