And that's before thinking about ethics committees and rules on conduct with human subjects in research (not that I have the first idea what those rules are, I just know that Zimbardo raised quite a stink with his Stanford Prison experiment) - it's not Berkely in the 1960s anymore. The finest paper ain't worth it when you don't have a career left because no researcher outside North Korea will even talk to you (let alone be seen with you) ...

Seriously? You honestly believe that Evie would be professionally blacklisted because she once talked to her girlfriend’s sister about feelings?
She hasn’t tried to use this in her research and I don’t see her doing so in the future, so how would her professional peers even know in the first place?

Yeah, I probably read Frankquith's post under the premise of this one by ChipNoir
--- Quote from: ChipNoir on 24 Jan 2018, 20:54 ---On the otherhand, it's very obvious that Evie see's this as the perfect opportunity to document a human/AI romantic relationship as it unfolds in real time, and the last thing these two needs is for Evie to go Steve Irwin on them.

Thanks for pointing that out to me. Apologies to all concerned, "This isn't my soapbox at all! How did that get here?"
Edit: If you're dying to know what I think is going on (and who wouldn't be?) - Cornelious' post above, ditto everywhere.
Is it cold in here?:
Faye is someone who hasn't said "no" but doesn't know where the interaction is going.
In other contexts we've learned not to call that "consent".
Reproducibility at least used to be a non-requirement for publishing about psychotherapy. Case studies were the norm in the older things I've looked at. If Evie is going there (no evidence she is) she damn well better get Faye and Bubbles to give explicit verbal consent, as soon as possible and ideally an hour ago.
Is it cold in here?:
Bubbles did say she has feelings for Faye. She didn't say what those feelings are. "Affection" is ambiguous. Bubbles said she wished she knew herself what she had meant by it.
Put it together with calling Faye "beautiful" and it gets clearer.
I hope Bubbles doesn't get hurt, but that's not the way relationships work. I hope that whatever goes wrong will be like a bruise that she can quickly recover from and not like re-breaking a bone that's still healing.
traroth:
Tomorrow is the last comic of the week, and in my opinion, we are in for a major cliffhanger for the week end. I bet on something like Faye getting (or being made) aware of things, and us not knowing how she feels or what she will do about it. And if JJ really wants to torture us, monday will be like "and now, something completely different!", with Pintsize farting. Or even something we can't possibly say no to, like "In the meantime, Hannelore..."

It says to love them anyway.
It doesn't say anything about liking them.
