Pintsize: Good is not necessarily nice.
wlewisiii:
Pintsize as Trickster? Coyote in an anthro-PC? I like the image. If I were an Artist I'd have to paint Pintsize like Coyote from Gunnerkrigg Court :evil:

Marten only said they were memory backups, so not necessarily a backup of his core self. The memories on their own may not even be able to be loaded successfully to a different AI.

Bubbles' phrasing in comic #3376 is a little different, referring to the "transfer, back-up, and even editing of artificial consciousness", which seems to be broader than just memory. And the comic's illustration of this certainly suggests that an AI stored on a computer can be successfully transferred to a different chassis.

That is true. But as I pointed out, Marten only said Pintsize has memory backups. He didn’t say it was a backup of Pintsize himself. It might be, but that’s not what he said. If it’s not a backup of his “operating system”, as it were, and if those memory backups are linked or tied specifically to Pintsize, then the memories on their own could not be uploaded into a different AI. For example, when Marten backed up Pintsize himself before acquiring his current chassis, Pintsize’s face appeared on Marten’s computer screen, indicating that Pintsize himself, and not merely his memories, had been transferred into Marten’s PC. Pintsize’s old chassis was then wiped clean and vacant. When both Momo and Winslow got their new chassis (chassises?), they transferred themselves directly from their old chassis to the new one.
Incidentally, it was the “editing” to which Bubbles referred, that raised Spookybot’s attention... and their anger.
By the way, welcome to our little neighbourhood. Breakfast is at 7, but room service is closed for the night, I’m afraid.

Forum newbie here. My first post is just to say how much I love the insight of your analysis into Pintsize's character. To further credit your point, does anyone remember the time that he helped Faye get gum out of her hair with peanut butter, thus preventing her from being forced to cut it awkwardly? Even if occasionally obscured by his trademark crass humor, you're absolutely right that he has genuinely good intentions where it counts. Bravo!
