I dont get todays Comic.

Why does an AI hold money ?

Why does an AI give THAT much money away ?

It all doesnt make sense.

pwhodges:
It doesn't make sense in our world.   We are learning a bit more about the QC world.

akronnick:
It's already been established that AIs can hold money during the "Momo Gets a Job" arc.

If they can have money, there's no reason they can't have a shitload of money!

In a world where AIs have been granted a majority of the rights of humans, the two are pretty much interchangable on most counts, don't you think? Including "reasons to have money".

An AI holds money because a human does. It might've been given that money for working on a space station much like a regular person (and over time converted it into shares by buying them) ...
It probably sees the "giving" as an act of good will and doesn't/can't comprehend the implications of such an amount because as an AI it has no sense of worth in the way of "how much does living cost"?

btw...

--- Code: ---If     0.76% => 4.600.000 US-$  ("4.6 million dollars")

then      1% =  4.600.000 x ( 1 / 0.76 ) = 6.052.631,579 US-$

ergo    100% =  605.263.157,9 US-$

--- End code ---
Now... is my math faulty or do I just not see the "billion"? °O

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 08 Feb 2012, 23:16 ---Maybe Station is trying to head off a sexual harassment lawsuit. If so, the amount implies that laws are stricter in the QC universe.

AIs have free will, so you have to do something to secure their loyalty. Or their discretion.

Asking what an AI would do with $600 million invites the question of what a human would do with it.

But what would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?
