Stoutfellow:
Just to be clear, I wasn't claiming an accusation of robo-slavery was plausible, but that the idea of someone making that accusation was plausible.
ckridge:
An extreme radical robot freedom group would argue that robots' own limbs were slaves and should be emancipated. This would in turn inspire a human right-brain liberation movement, members of which would have their corpus callosum severed and insist that each side of their bodies was now a distinct person with its own rights. They would, however be limited in their proselytization efforts by their belief that language is an ideological tool of the ruling left-brain hegemony.

--- Quote from: Jakk Frost on 13 Mar 2018, 05:41 ---Random thought spurred by the last two comics; I wonder if there's some radical group of robots/AI's who would view Clinton's robotic hand as a form of "cultural appropriation", or perhaps even as a form of slavery?
I'm not saying Roko would be like that, just that the circumstances made me think of that.

Or they might view it the opposite way, and accept Clinton as being one of them. Or at least closer to them than the average human.
Given the diversity of AI thought and behavior, there's room for both extremes in the QCverse.

I had hoped AIs were above all the over sensitivity and knee jerk reactions currently affecting humanity, but seeing how Bubbles reacted to Evie’s thesis I fear they’re just as bad as us.
Tova:
Early comic is early. Sorry.
pwhodges:
I don't follow - how does losing power make the comic early?
