Or, you know, the world blows up and all that's left are Marten, Marigold, Hanners, HannerDad and the others on HannerDad Station.  :-o

Think Pintsize.  Maybe he's not entirely an original, but a (hopefully extreme) representative of a certain pattern of behaviour not uncommon in some types of AI.  You have my permission to panic.

Did anyone else sit there staring at the holo-dong before reading the comic's comment trying to figure out what it was while in your mind saying "Nah, that's not a holo-penis, that's like...something on the chair behind him, right?"

Pretty sure he was just hanging out pantsless before they arrived. I see no reason a man can't lean back, crack open a holo-brew and tune into the game with no pants on when nobody's home without it being something dirty.

Could it be the QCverse's AI is just THAT good that it is actually capable of genuinely "forgetting" things the way humans sometimes forget to put on antiperspirant even though they've gone through the exact same morning routine a couple thousand times?

I like that thought. Because it means that aside from material decay and a non-near-lightspeed-thought-process the AIs in the QCverse are basically people.  :-D

It's probably the equivalent of talking to your appliances, which would be even more common in the QC world when there is talking appliances.

I've just thought that there must have been someone who designed that robodong. It could be a stock hologram image now (the whole body, not just the dong) but at first there would have been a committee and discussion, with a brief, production plan and negotiations until they all agreed upon that design. This idea amuses me.

I'm studying media production. Does it show?

This doesn't quite hang together, but I'll try, anything other than admit that it was just a funny joke.

Accurately rendering fabric is CPU-intensive. What if the holo-pilot were in an optimized mode where he only expected to be seen from the waist up and skipped the CPU cycles for rendering pants?

Not necessarily.

Since the Holographic Avatar isn't actually a physical object, it (he?) can take any form that's convenient.

In this case, the Hologram is a visual representation of the AI's self image. It's possible that the image is created by the AI. If the AI sees himself with a dong, the Hologram would have a dong.

It's notmy thing to criticize Jeph on his artistic choices, but if I was him I wouldn' have actually drawn the dong. I think it woul dhave been better to just draw them from the waist up. Why? Because a joke like this is funnier if we aren't shown such things, as no drawing could ever be a funny as what our own minds come up with. In this situation, Less is more. Truthfully, actually seeing the Dong kind of killed the joke for me.

My obvious choice: Christopher Walken. Dancing. IN SPAAAAAACE.

~~

Considering how low the t-shirt is and the way the hologram is standing facing everyone (so butts-disease couldn't manifest), I'm not sure waist up would have actually got the joke across as snappy and clearly as the dong did. Waist up would just have the dialogue without the visual punchline.

Maybe we can put this down to some sleep madness if he's jetlagged from the vacation.

I'm also enjoying how "dong" has become a main word in my vocabulary today thanks to the comic.

The joke is that drawing a dong (Yes, Welu, there it is) as clearly as this is not something you usually do in a webcomic. Jeph has pushed some internet-etiquette borders here... and in some ways has not because its just a holographic one.

The paradox implications made it funny for me.  °O

Think Pintsize.  Maybe he's not entirely an original, but a (hopefully extreme) representative of a certain pattern of behaviour not uncommon in some types of AI.  You have my permission to panic.

Thanks, we needed that.

I just want to thank you for not saying "netiquette".
Don't thank me. If I'd know that abomination of a word existed I might have actually been tempted to use it. I am not that good a person, you know.

The real explaination is that Pintsize hacked into the AI, and as a result THEY'RE ALL GONNA DIE A FLAMING DEATH!!!!!!   



Or end up in Cleveland, whichever is funnier.

What's wrong with the word "netiquette"?

It implies that etiquette on the Internet is different than that elsewhere.  Which it isn't; but then again, actually it is, because of the need to recognise the absence of physical cues modifying nuance and meaning.

I use the word when dealing with matters of etiquette that are specific to the environment.

Incidentally, like netizen, the word is older than the web - it is not a recent coinage.

I wonder who guessed right in the poll. Holographic WHAT indeed. Although "And now for something completely different" also applies.

I love how the girls are ashamed but still keep looking at it. I thought the holographic image was previously engaged in an activity, which also simulated all his senses.
