--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 06 Oct 2015, 21:28 ---There's a worst-case outcome possible with Pintsize befriending Bubbles. What if he teaches her how to be spontaneous and overcome her inhibitions?
--- End quote ---
Depends on which specific inhibitions she overcomes. If she overcomes her (seemingly negligible) inhibitions about lifting semi-random strangers by the throat, this could be disastrous. On the other hand, if she overcomes her inhibitions about interactions, we could have a new colorful cast member
So far, she's shown no signs of being especially similar to Pintsize, in that she doesn't seem to be HAVING such insane ideas. Lack of insanity isn't the same as being inhibited. I don't want to have sex with most of the people I see on a daily basis, that fact that I don't isn't a sign I'm being inhibited, it's a sign that my parents are straight up not in the pool of possibilities.

Either way, I feel that positive emotions wouldn't be the first thing a programmer would write into the code for a military AI. Kind of a sad thing, that thought.

Translation of Bubbles' lines today: "Shut up! Can't you see I'm sulking in an attempt to justify my social isolation complex?"

--- End quote ---
I don't think she wants to make an effort. In fact, I think it is very important to her right now that her belief that she is incapable of casual social interaction due to other's prejudices against her be confirmed.

An AI isnt written by a programmer ?
Its a neural network. It writes itself through positive and negative feedback.

FWIW, we know very little about the QC-verse AIs other than they are seemingly software rather than hardware-based. Purely FWIW, I suspect that they can even reproduce 'biologically' if they choose to do so but generally refrain because it freaks out humans (the first successful event was the one the AIs all referred to as 'the Singularity' happening).
To the topic, I believe that the first AIs 'grew' around algorithmic 'seeds' that Dr Ellicott-Chatham and his team wrote using equipment and calculations that he created. So, in a very real sense, he is their progenitor.
I would love there to be a scene in this arc where Hannelore gives Bubbles a hug. When Bubbles asks why, she makes a comment about 'wanting to be there for my sister'.
