Now I have this bizarre mental picture of a tiny hippopotamus figurine with a sign around its neck saying "PARTY AT MY PLACE (this message will self destruct in 5-4-3...)". o_O
brasca:
Go visit Brun Clinton. I'm totally shipping Roko and Elliot and as soon as you're an item Elliot can bake Roko a cake :wink:
I'm not entirely sure if that's innuendo for anything, but it would be a nice gesture all the same.

--- Quote from: Jakk Frost on 18 Apr 2018, 04:24 ---This is something I actually quite like in this universe, that the AI's have utterly non-sequitur fetishes. I'd be interested to learn how this developed. I mean, is it some random repeating "bug" in the code? Does some programmer throw a dart at a giant wall of encyclopedia entries and then program in whatever he lands on for each AI? (Or does the AI code itself do that "virtually", when the AI is born?)
And I'm quite sure this has been discussed at length, but what was Roko's problem with Pintsize then, since he came exactly as advertised, which she "swiped right" on in the first place? Was it just the inappropriate venue, him doing it in the very public restaurant, since she's basically "in the closet" about her fetish?

We barely understand how humans develop fetishes, but there are a few hypotheses floating around. It's just a matter of coming up with a proposed experiment an ethics committee would allow.
--- End quote ---
Someone, perhaps an E-C Enterprises employee, at some point was trying to address the question of how and why people develop fetishes with a computer model using company resources. For whatever reason, maybe a storage device that didn't get wiped prior to being used for a major build, snippets of that code found their way into the Creche Operating System. The unnamed researcher is no closer to an answer, but they now observe that AIs develop them right along with meat people. The catastrophic contamination turns out to have made AIs much closer to being emotionally human.
Or not.

Or perhaps it was just a "Hey y'all, watch this!" moment up on the space station. For a bunch of nerdy super-geniuses, they know how to party.

New comic up
So, how many of the local bread fetishists do Renee know? Is she their dealer and, if so, how big is her customer base? :police:
I really love panel 3. It maybe in the eye of the beholder. However, to me, Brun seems to be a wee bit jealous of Elliott spending time seeing to Roko's sexual needs, no matter how peripherally. Maybe she wants that level of attention from Elliott too? If I'm interpreting this correctly, this is the first hint we've got that she wants that kind of attention from him.
As for poor Roko? Well, not only has she run into the best way she is going to get to fill in the blank 'Human Abs.jpg' file in her memory but also the person that she really would like to have rub bread on parts of her. Given that she's already overheated once today, you can't help but wonder if she's going to make it back home unaided. I've got to say that she needs help soon or she's going to melt down! :laugh:
