BenRG:
Yeah, it looks like O'Malley is a 'work buddy'. One of the common misconception of these people is that they are friends but they aren't. They're asses who never get off your case but you're not allowed to hit because they're 'jolly' about it and may have some degree of seniority over you.
That aside, it is interesting that, as with Momo, we here have a synthetic with an actual sex drive, of sorts. Yes, she wants companionship but she wants this to include physical intimacy of some kind. Okay, so she is into the misuse of bread products in a big way but, given that robot sex is done by data packet transfer, any physical element to it is going to take on the form of a kink of one sort or another! That's the point here, of course. I don't think O'Malley has the need for an intimate inter-personal relationship (I imagine that's not uncommon amongst Synthetics) whilst Roko does indeed want both a companion and a lover in one package.
I'm really interested to see where Jeph is taking this.
Torlek:
This comic raises SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Gyrre:
--- Quote from: St.Clair on 08 Mar 2018, 21:58 ---I am intrigued and amused to see another trait that AIs (or this one, at least) have in common with organics:
Under stress, their "native" accent becomes stronger.
--- End quote ---
It could also be a simulation of 'foreign accent syndrome'.
Zebediah:
Roko’s origins may very well be in the Boston area, given the existence of the MIT Robotics Lab and Boston Dynamics (which itself has its origins in the MIT Robotics Lab.) And like so many professionals with strong regional accents, she trained herself out of her native accent and into something more neutral.
So now I’m hearing her with Eliza Dushku’s voice.
TheEvilDog:
Okay, has anyone noticed that they aren’t drinking from glasses, those are USB ports.
