New Comic Up!
Poor Roko really isn't good with exposed anatomy, robotic or biological, is she? I think that this is the second time we've seen her crash due to psychological stress, poor girl! :laugh:
I know this is over-analysing but The Bovine Collider's misadventure makes me furrow my brow in thought. I mean, any cow is a large, solid object and one with a lot of tensile strength. In order to literally explode a cow in the way she evidently did, she must have hit it with the force of a tractor-trailer going at a considerable rate of speed. Given her size and assuming she isn't built from depleted uranium, she must have been running at well over a hundred miles an hour to deliver that sort of energy. What was she doing?!?
So, what does everyone think? Is Roko just hanging out with Faye and Bubbles because she doesn't have anything better to do or is Jeph working us towards her getting a job at Union Robotics, maybe running the 'phones and appointment book or something?

I don’t think their cash flow is up to hiring a new employee just yet. I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship. :-)

FWIW, I suspect that May is a good example of a non-integrated AI. Chassis failures on a scale that Roko would find traumatic to a disabling degree are just annoyances and inconveniences to her.

May also may just not WANT to be in that body. At all. So it, in turn, kinda falls apart due to poor care.

I don't think so. May's parole office was pretty clear that she was stuck with that chassis, and that he could do nothing about it. He also seemed to have seen this kind of problem before.
It sounds like chassis for AIs coming out of robot jail are less that acceptable rejects or leftovers.

They're likely used and purchased in bulk by the State. Hence May's being out of warranty despite her being in it for less than a year. The parole officer specified that HE wasn't authorized to pay for repair or replacement.

Roko seems to handle the sight of gore better than damaged robotics. She would’ve been great at crime scenes.
