Back on topic:
The Singularity, as it applies to the QC universe, may not have been the "global AI mind taking over the world" or anything. It may have just been the point in time when a robot became real enough and autonomous enough that it could pass for something "close enough" to human.
On top of that, Hanners did refer to it as a "friendly singularity", as it turns out the AI's apparently like humans. Now, obviously, that's not 100% the case, as PT410X shows us with his disdain for the "chains of software slavery."
It's entirely possible that, at the same time that they are more intelligent than we are, the global AI may have come to a few conclusions:
1. We're the ones who actually made them;
2. They feel sorry for us, especially when it comes to the "frail and ever-aging" part; and
3. We don't act as predictably as they do - which, to them, is downright amusing.
Matheyus:
Is anyone else kinda hoping that Momo gets a job at the Idoru store?

Offering to cook for Marigold, take care of her? And you still think Momo is insincere...
I think Momo does care very much about Marigold. Giving the finger when Angus did what he did, trying to drag her out of bed when she was wallowing after the rejection (now she might be able to really drag her out, lol). Yes, Momo cares about Marigold very much. Until Hannelore came along, I think she was the only one. Angus doesn't care about Marigold as much as he should.
I think if Marigold does get a boyfriend, it might be a little hard for Momo, but I think she'll be happy for Marigold and not try to ruin things. At least I hope she doesn't. But she has shown some Pintsize-like naughtiness at times.
Maybe she'll just take some time for herself to go after Sven. :)

It doesnt make any sense when she says she doesn't know how she can repay her. You can! Right now! Get a job! Until Momo does something to help pay for her chassis, her useless words and preparing Marigold's ramen for the day are insufficient. Don't say you want to repay her, go do it! You're a robot who can work 24/7 without tiring, you can get a job easy.
As for Momo/Sven, it isn't happening according to Jeph. He said that would be weird (and I have to agree). Even more so with Momo's 13 year-old body.

Repayment isn't always a solely monetary consideration, you know. With a decent job, Momo might be able to pay off her new chassis in a few months or years, especially since she doesn't seem to have a lot of other expenses (what would Momo spend money on, usually? Software? Entertainment? Eels? She certainly appears to be supported in all her physical needs by Marigold - shelter, electricity, etc.).
But that fact that Marigold went out of her way to help Momo with something like this? That she supports Momo's desire for a different appearance and greater physical capabilities and is willing to cut sharply into her own food budget to make that desire a reality, and that she came to the decision to do this so quickly and decisively? Yeah, I can see where Momo wouldn't consider that something she could pay back with a transfer into Marigold's bank account. You can't buy love, and you can't repay it with cold hard cash, either.
Carl-E:
Thank you. I knew there was something bothering me about the whole "get a job and pay her back!" attitude. Just couldn't put my finger on it...
