But is the company responsible for originating the mindware necessarily the best at developing the hardware. We've all seen the situation where those who can conceive and originate something are not necessarilly the very best at developing the concept.
Milayna:
I'm really curious about the social movements going on in the background. AI's are still a very nascent species, and are still establishing their place in the world, with all sorts of movements going on - recall Momo's and Bubbles' explanations of the role of AI's in combat for instance.
So I wonder if Momo and Winslow and Jeremy - and the increasing number of background humanoid chassis - are occurring in the context of an AI social movement towards anthrocization? Recall also the discussions of robot sexuality, and May's theories that though there's no rational reason for robots to be sexual, hanging around gross, fluid-excreting meatbags rubs off on AI's. With civilian humanoid chassis becoming much more reliable, I wouldn't be surprised at all if anthrocizing is a trending movement - and a countermovement toward, say, cuddly jumping spiders.
BenRG:
Some people on the Subreddit have been speculating if Pintsize will follow the 'humanoid chassis' trend. An increase in his chassis size might further increase the pressure for the group currently in Marten and Faye's apartment to split up into separate groups to have more living space.
A part of me is fascinated by the thought of Winslow, May, Momo and Pintsize setting up their own household. We might then gain an insight into how a group of synthetics, away from the pressures to conform to human social and behavioural norms, would set up their living space and arrange to cover their limited physical needs. More importantly, we'd get an 'Odd Quartet' situation with the wild and crazy Pintsize and May contrasting with the more sane Momo and Winslow.
However, honestly, I can't see Momo and Winslow wanting to leave their humans unless there was some extreme social pressure to do so. Given this and given that I'm not sure Pintsize and May are sufficiently organised to be able to have their own household, it's more likely that Jeph will find some other solution (possibly a move to a bigger house for Marten & Co.).
bhtooefr:
We also have Melon and Arthur...
DSL:
I wonder if Jeph will do a chassis-tryout montage, similar to Claire's choice-of-clothing montages we have already seen.
