WCDT Strips 3551 to 3555 (21st to 25th August 2017)
Is it cold in here?:
So is May sincerely reflective or is she there because The Daughter of God "suggested" it?
That cartoon with Faye treating a person like an object struck me as the worst thing Faye has done. Perhaps it's in a tie with looking up Momo's skirt.
There must be some very bitter AIs out there determined never to forgive humans. Humans being what they are there have doubtless been far more creepy and comptemptuous people than The Pugnacious Peach.

--- Quote from: Cornelius on 25 Aug 2017, 01:50 ---Hang on, is he using his old chassis to look things up?
--- End quote ---
Yes, he is. Its clear that his previous chassis is nothing more than a 'dumb' tablet computer with minimal limbs without an AI mind present. This strip is also an insight, I think, into how AIs view chassis in terms of 'personhood'. To them, it's just a bit of hardware to be used as intended (or even recycled) if there is no sentient mind present. I wonder if this extends to their attitude towards death in humans and their view of corpses?

Anyone else suddenly concerned about an AI opening a cannery in the QCverse? Especially if they're fans of suspense thrillers from the 70s?

This sounds like a reference to something, but I have no idea what. Could you please explain?
Cornelius:
Sounds a bit like Soylent Green is implied, but perhaps another film?

--- Quote from: SmilingCat on 25 Aug 2017, 00:29 ---I might ask how you even remotely correlate getting yelled at for simply saying hi to someone with him being abusive.
--- End quote ---
I don't?

Except when you do?
--- Quote from: Shjade on 24 Aug 2017, 21:21 ---So he's not a nice enough guy to avoid enacting unnecessary violence toward another AI, but he's too nice to deserve getting yelled at by another AI?
Interesting. What exactly is this nebulous space Winslow inhabits in which he is simultaneously abusive and innocent?
--- End quote ---
Your own words. Winslow can't be abusive unless he deserved to get yelled at. Even though he literally did nothing but say hi to May in a new body to get yelled at. There is no correlation between the two, or any reason to link them at all. Yet you felt the need to bring it up again. Because... why exactly? Because you object to people liking Winslow?
Here's a secret, you can yell at someone without justification whether or not that person is a jerk. Because whether or not that person is a jerk does not determine whether or not you, yourself, are a jerk.

I think that Shjade was trying to make the point that it's perhaps a bit weird to think that someone is nice, but that you'd have to somehow be really nice not to enact violence against Pintsize. Shjade was wondering why you would say that when violence is (obviously) not nice at all. I can see why you see the post as drawing a correlation between two unrelated events (I think, kinda), but I don't think that was intentional, hence the puzzled reaction.

Easiest way to ensure Pintsize isn't messing with it?
