ChipNoir:
I'm still leaving myself open to the possibility that May is an earlier Emergent, easily two or three times older than any of the other AI's, except Pintsize, who'd fit into my idea that older AI's wouldn't have the same social grace protocols that I'd say Momo and Bubbles are 'graced' with, for lack of a better term.
It's still very vague where AI's come from. Yes, we know AI's are emergent, but that still means some company or facility is developing them with human input, and that means they have 'some' sort of influence on how AI's turn out and their ultimate makeup, even if it's less like building a program and more like a far more complicated and mysterious form of procreation.

I mean, we don't know that she was never military, just that she was most likely not military when she tried to become a jet.

Because most, if not all military vehicles aren't made by the military. The military contracts production of its materiel to outside companies, like the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. While a fifth generation fighter jet, used by the US air force, its produced by Lockheed Martin and various sub-contractors in a contract worth, I believe, $60 billion since the inception of the Raptor.
May wouldn't have to have been a military AI, she could just be one of the AI totting up numbers and skimming a little off the top to get to the $360 million.

Nice of Winslow to apologise
May - the Che Guevara of Pigeon kind

Though her ability to divebomb pigeon-shit on people's heads seems greatly diminished ...

My guess is that May had absolutely nothing to do with the military, that she was an AI in a bank or some other such money-laden institution. in this comic, she says she was planning to buy a fighter jet on the black market, one made by what I assume by the name is a Chinese company. As far as we can tell, May doesn't speak any Chinese languages (Can AI download languages or do they have to learn them like a person? has that been addressed?) so it's unlikely she was actually related to the company- I think she just REALLY wanted to be a fighter jet. Bad enough to have a shirt made.
