On the subject of AnthroPCs, AnthroPC abuse is recognized as an issue by at least some members of society. Remember Marigirl wanting to interview Pintsize privately about how he got the dents?
wrwight:
ah yeah, that's the one, and it answers the question much more explicitly than I thought. The 90s.
jwhouk:
The man has been thinking this through, kids.
I think, if I've read between the lines enough (or his newsposts LOL), the defining moment that made the "singularity" of AI's friendly towards humans was giving them a libido. Or, at least, having them understand the concept of "love".
I'd still expect there to be more rogue APC's out there, though.
jwhouk:

This is actually going to be one of those polls that'll keep up throughout the week. I like those kinds of polls.

This would make the divergence maybe something like 50 years ago. There may be some timeline you could guess at for APCs based on that and the fact that 20-30+ years ago a man bought/built a space station. This man may have been influential in AI tech, too, FWIW.

I can buy that, they certainly have some outrageous technology. Remember that Momo was able to gain a physical modification to her hands by way of a software update. She didn't originally have fingers... or was it that she had fingers but no thumbs?

Very well. That's exactly when Pintsize made one giant grope for robotkind. It wath worth it.
All joking aside, I tend to to take Marigold as not being typical in any way. That's part of the reason she will always remain my favourite character. The fact that (in personality) she's just a hint similar to my girlfriend (games, anime, shy...) can only make that fondness somewhat greater.
I hasten to add that while 'games' was an entry on my parenthetical list, my one true love does not play WoW. She'd never have time for me if she did...

Perhaps I'm not giving him enough credit. I'd certainly like to believe that AnthroPCs have a libido. Even if the strip will never go in that direction, it just makes the world that much more interesting of a place. I like interesting worlds perhaps a little more than I like interesting plots.
First time in recent memory I can recall being referred to as a kid, though. I think I'm OK with that, but... get off my lawn. :-D
Voting for another boring day, because even in jest voting for naked QC girls reminds me of the bearhat man.
