Wow, this has been a busy week. I looked back three days ago and there was only two pages of discussion.

Pretty productive stuff in here.

--- Quote from: miados on 17 Aug 2017, 22:55 ---hmm interesting thought but bubbles didn't recognize winslow until he said it was him so I am not sure some auto I know you function is there. plus when momo got a new body he didn't know she wasnt in the old chasis until he hooked up a connector to her old body and saw it was empty. Although it could be a matter of hardware limitations.

To be honest, I thought he was just connecting to check if they're wasn't any malfunction, that rendered her unresponsive.

It's just an idea, based on a sample of one. It's the only example I can think of, that cannot be explained differently. I prefer to give Momo the benefit of doubt, and not assume she just hacked into someone else's connection.

It might be hardware related. Or it might be part of her social protocols.

Now even if it is possible, I think it still makes sense for an AI with a new chassis, especially an anthropoform one, to go around to introduce himself. It's part of the humanlike, non-threatening behaviour, that plays a large part in reading a physical book.

Cornelius:
Alright, so one thing this comic makes clear, is that Winslow does not have any money of his own.

Also, great to see him motivating wanting to help, not just from May's reaction.

Hopefully May will have the opportunity to realise that when she's calmed down.  Maybe he'll even end up in an AI charity and helping May (and acknowledging her reaction, at that)!

Magniras:
"Because I didn't think about how my privilege affects other people."

That right there, I think, is my entire issue with the concept of privilege.  Other people can use it to attack you, and all you can do to fight back is try and make yourself look like a victim of society.

And Winslow, buddy, no, don't do this.  I mean, do volunteer if you want to, but you've got to do it for yourself.  Otherwise you'll just break down under all the pressure, and you won't do anyone any good.
