Comic. Bubbles unfortunately passes by creeps, although I'm not sure whether the girl with dyed hair is actually anti-AI. And is that Sweet Tits in the first panel?

It looks like -from their positioning and the speech bubbles thereof - that the guy not smoking said the worst, the guy smoking laughs along, while the girl wit the dyed hair was telling the discriminatory dude to shut up.
SomeCanadianWeirdo:
It would be interesting if she came running after Bubbles to apologise for her friends, but I doubt Jeph is going to intro another female character right now. More likely Corpse Witch will find out about this somehow and use it as another lever to manipulate Bubbles.

Just the other day someone legitimately said if there was ONE microbe on Mars, or Venus, we should not settle there, because apparently we have no right to interfere, or some silly bull like that. And discrimination against Cyborgs is already a thing - some can go securely far placing it as an extension of discrimination against disabilities and - I can only imagine that discrimination and hate towards sapient AI walking around would be, too, especially if there's a lot of angry workers and unemployment issues laying about for a politician or a group to tack onto the AI, and so on and so on.

I doubt we need to worry about microbes on Venus, as the surface is a lead-melting high pressure acidic hellhole. Mars is nearly airless, though once it had liquid water on the surface. If you read Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, part of it is the conflict between the "Red Mars" faction (who want to keep the place as much as possible as-is) and the "Green Mars" faction (full speed ahead with terraforming). We'll have to see if the issue ever comes up, since there's a whole lot of irradiated distance from Earth to Mars, and it's not clear we could get anybody there alive.
