I can't speak for Clinton's mother, but I am a night owl, so I've done a great many different things at 1 am - including baking cookies - and for a great many different reasons.

Ditto to 1am baking as a night owl.

If so, their mom has a much more subtle methodology.
efindumb:
I know several dozen firefighters who will gladly tell you about people baking at 1AM...then again all of those were "culinary incinerations" as they like to call burning food but even so it's not uncommon.
Any idea what she does with her life? Perhaps volunteer work where something like that would be appreciated?
Storel:
Never mind the cookies, how did she know to open the door when Clinton was still at least ten feet away from the doorbell? :-o

I don't know the layout of the house, but if she was up baking and that kitchen window is one of the ones pointing out into the yard, she probably saw some people walking up. In the dark she might not have immediately known who it was which would be why she's still kind of surprised to see Clinton.
Or maybe she was baking those cookies for a visitor she was expecting (the kind that Clinton would squick about) and thought the people walking up might be that visitor.

--- Quote from: Milayna on 02 Apr 2018, 21:24 ---Hey, I can't recall, is there anythining canonical in how AI's get their names? It occurrs to me that without a family history something like "O'Malley" would not likely be inherited, so where did it come from?

Long ago, I forget where, and I'm not certain, Jeph said they choose their own names.
On the other hand PT410X certainly acted like names were imposed on them by humans.

Assuming they choose their own names, I have to wonder what Roko Basilisk was thinking when she chose hers... I didn't fully understand the link shared earlier but I understood enough to wonder why an AI would pick that for a name.

I also wondered if Mom Augustus was expecting a different visitor. Something about the way she says "O-oh! Clinton! ..."
