Momo and faye
BenRG:
In many ways, I find Momo's personality very similar to that of a recent immigrant in the face of known injustice. She knows that AIs position in society is precarious; they are vastly outnumbered and no struggle between human and AI can end with anything but disaster (possibly for both sides). Because of this, she is very wary about drawing attention to herself or open herself to accusations of poking into affairs that are none of her business.
This nervousness about boundaries as to what humans will and will not tolerate is seen many times. Momo will stand up and defend herself against perceived threats (and Clinton annoying people). She will also be firm with those whom she regards as close friends (and whose well-being she doubtless considers it a moral imperative to safeguard). However, outside those two areas, she is nervous and clearly afraid to cross boundaries. Because of this, I can't see her proactively approaching Faye, no matter how serious her assessment of her condition. That's assuming that she spends enough time around Faye to be able to assess her condition and assuming that she made the conscious choice to do so. Neither of those latter conditions seem likely to have been met.
hedgie:
Well, if Faye's deep in depression, Momo is well-equipped to administer ECT.
Oilman:
Momo is more like a teenager, as has been pointed out elsewhere. She isn't like an immigrant, because AFAIK this is her first incarnation, call it what you will, she may be an inexperienced or immature member of the culture but she isn't an immigrant.

You clearly completely failed to understand my post. I'm not saying that the AIs are immigrants. I'm saying that they have the same psychology as immigrants.
