Gyrre:
"How's it going? In exchange for a small...favor, I might be able to help figure out the right tweaks to your new sensorium upgrades."
Tova:
There's no Gordian knot sitting around wanting to be cut right now, so I have no real idea why Spookybot has turned up again, apart from the evident fact that Jeph is fond of them. Maybe it will just be another slice of life.
shanejayell:
Spooky is a super advanced AI in multiple bodies.
They could just be here for their own amusement...
A small perverse otter:
IIRC, Spookybunch has described themselves as deeply committed to freedom, at least for AIs, yes? Wouldn't Roko's work on AI rights line up exactly their goals?
alc40:
I'm not sure that we know enough to say that freedom is a high priority for Spookybot. It could be, but they described their concern specifically as sanctity of mind. Since they said that Corpse Witch violated "one of the very, very few moral principles to which we adhere", they may not care about most of the problems that an AI rights organization would be likely to work on. Apart from what happened to Bubbles, it seems like the AI rights issues we've seen in the comic have been more about hiring discrimination, treatment of former criminals, etc., which Spookybot might not really care about. Unless what happened to Bubbles is actually more common than we've seen so far.
