Is it cold in here?:
Power tends to corrupt. We don't know that Eminence Grise is up to no good, but we know they have immense power and very few ethical principles. Dangerous combination that.

How powerful are Spookybots, really? Their only demonstrated abilities are a zero-day exploit for commercially available encryption, and some sort of neural exploit that can partially or fully disable a human for a short span of time. Yes, Bubbles did seem to think that networked AIs would provide exponential intelligence growth, but super-fast computing doesn't equal omnipotence or even omniscience.
(Okay, there's also some ability to hack a normal-tier AI's sensorium used to talk to Bubbles and torture Corpse Witch. I suspect that's kin to the encryption hack.)
Is it cold in here?:
They said there was no possible evidence of good faith that they couldn't fake (3402). Station, with orbital railguns, they called "less puissant". Could be a bluff for all we know but Bubbles knew about their existence and didn't contradict their claims.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Roko's butt emblem has eaten Spookybot.
So why are we even talking about this?
(Basically I am in full agreement with Oddtail.)
TheEvilDog:
So what we're getting from this strip (new one up), is that Roko wants to skip the hard part and Spookybot is hanging the carrot in front of her, again. Right?
