ZoeB:
My own wedding reception - the food wasn't wonderful. Many of the guests got food poisoning, as did my partner.
My wedding night was spent cleaning up at both ends. Oddly enough, a more intimate bonding moment you couldn't imagine, it meant "I will always love you forever no matter what, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health".
32 years and 11 days ago.
ZoeB:
I wonder.. will we make AI's so much in our own image? Will our species' children be better than their parents, or just different?
Will Momo and Station.... will they have that capability, to bond with another person, to fall in love and be loved? I hope so. I can't imagine forming them without that, it's the greatest gift we were given by evolution. Perhaps we can even improve on it, for them?
OK, I'm a hopeless romantic. Meh. It's me.
Welu:
I once bumped into my aunt in an unexpected place. She came up to me all excited and, "Haven't you grown!!" I didn't recognise her at all and said do. I think she was pretty hurt.
I'd met her maybe four or five times at that point and hadn't seen her for a few years! Plus she looked different.
Although that was true of her meeting me too so maybe I have no excuse.

We'd done a discussion on this before (from comic #2085). And for the most part, in an ideal situation, I'd agree with you. But with the amount of indifference, and indeed hate, in the world... would you really want to curse them with such a thing as human emotions at this stage?
Hopefully, when we've finally developed true AI, we've settled our differences completely. Then I'll happily call you a romantic, and things won't be so hopeless... :)
Shit. Now who's being the hopeless romantic?
Akima:
I'm glad PT410X (don't call him Petey) got a new head (and neckbeard!) since we saw him last. His default emotional setting is grumpy.
Momo is the champ!
