There's innocent accident, and then there's failure to inform yourself about courtesy, then there's negligence, then there's malice.
All require corrective action. Innocent accidents turn into insults if not apologized for.
Where is Evie on that scale? I lean to her being negligent. Maybe even reckless, given that she's been warned. Repeatedly. Clearly.

Really? When? I don’t recall there being a scene where Bubbles said “I’m uncomfortable with this, please stop.”
Keep in mind Evie knows about Faye from what Amanda told her and witnessed herself so it would be a reasonable assumption to think that if Bubbles can put up working with Faye then she’s not so delicately thin skinned that a discussion about AI sociology would hurt her feelings.

it seems like there might be some problems with that

As a fellow "thoughtless academic", I can tell you that it's easy to get wrapped up in a topic you're particularly passionate about and forget to be considerate of others' feelings.
Page 1 of this thread has a similar comment from a psych major.

In #3656, look at literally EVERYTHING Bubbles says to Evie. Evie just goes on, ignoring her. "There are still those who hate us." "Hey, I don't like being compared to nuclear weapons." "Hey, my life isn't your case study." Notice how Evie ignores. And ignores. And ignores. And keeps talking, and talking, and talking, but there's not much listening going on.
Mandy has a way of picking crappy girlfriends, and I have to say, I think she done it again. I'm sure Evie lives in an echo chamber full of academics who think she has a brilliant mind, but to Bubbles, she is coming off as an asshole.
Again, I dislike Evie far more than anyone else here. She just rubs me the wrong way. But quite frankly, we have heard enough from her to understand that she can be oblivious, ignorant, and easily butthurt (in the case of Faye) along with being blind to what AIs go through. It's pretty clear that she doesn't have a close personal relationship with any AIs as Faye does with Bubbles.
My guess is that Evie is going to reveal what she said during dinner and Faye is going to end up yelling at both of them and storming out, with Faye delivering a well deserved parting shot. "Way to go Mandy, you sure know how to pick em" before running back to comfort Bubbles.

I also want to point out that it's SUPER OBVIOUS to me that Evie doesn't listen because she doesn't think Bubbles has anything to teach her. She's the smartest person in the world and obviously she's right about everything. She's talking AT Bubbles, not TO her. And i think this is a communication problem she has with a lot of people. Even her comment to Amanda reveals that she's constantly correcting people and acting smarter than thou.

Evie is the worst? You must’ve skipped the last chapter then. And I’m not referring to Tilly.
