Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT: 2505-2509 (August 5-9, 2013) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
Carl-E:
A serious case of funnyopia.
SageJiraiya:
Maybe we need a combination of the random thoughts and weekly comic discussion threads.
I just had an existential QC-verse thought:
What if the big news Jeph mentioned is a major plot twist? Could it be that the QC-verse is in fact a false reality electronically created and implanted into the consciousness of May? The characters may be based off real humans, but maybe her crime was worth the effort of creating and running an artificial reality full of artificial intelligences (and artificial artificial intelligences) solely for the purpose of those AIs one day helping to rehabilitate a criminal.
Actually, what if May is in fact a real human being who has had her consciousness downloaded for the purpose of modifying and returning it to its body for the rehab?
Can AIs actually be CREATED? Is there a limited number? Did all programs simultaneously develop consciousness while some did not?
Wouldn't it be ethically wrong to modify a person's memories and consciousness solely for the purpose of teaching them a lesson that may or may not have actually been based on a real event?
QC may be a simulation in the real world that runs on a supercomputer for the purpose of observing artificial intelligences over time. Perhaps I am inside this simulation, as are all of you.
I should probably go to sleep.
aldonius:
That's a long chain of speculation, and to me at least it doesn't really fit with QC's history for it to suddenly be entirely for the benefit of of May (who really has come out of nowhere narrative-wise). Yes, QC adds characters frequently and they become an important part of the story when that happens (cf Claire), but they're not suddenly the central character. At the end of the day, that's still Marten.
IMO this arc will wind up being long-needed character development for Marigold.
On what I originally came here to post, where, if ever, was this kobold reference made in-comic?
Edit: Cthulhu, how did I miss that? 2509, panel 2, lower left.

I'm not convinced she would be as okay with it in front of Dale.

It's not that hard to figure out why.

We'll know for sure next week:
