WCDT strips 3951-3955 (4th to 8th March 2019)
cybersmurf:
Now I wonder whether there was a way of covering Pintsize's head, if not whole chassis with a display. ... He'd probably be renting out ad space. The NSFW kind.
BenRG:
Beepatrice is an interesting being are they not? Not everyone is entirely socially confident. Indeed, some are so worried about what come out of their mouths that it can be socially disabling (and, once again, I empathise because that's me)! Frankly, I'm hoping that there is someone around who gives them the hug they need!
Well, it's been a long time since we've last seen a true AnthroPC in the comic. It reminds us, I suppose, that not every AI wants to pass somewhat as human or even feels still wearing a 'toy' body is demeaning. As always, I find myself wondering if those who protest do more because they wouldn't like it rather than considering the AI in question's perspective.
Why shouldn't Beepatrice's skirt have pockets? I've seen such skirts before although I grant that they are not that common.
traroth:
Another character with issues.
But don't we all have some?
oddtail:
My first reaction was "the fact that AI bodies/minds can be rebooted with a paperclip is kinda dark".
Then I thought about it for a moment and realised there were MANY social situations when I would have immensely benefitted if I could essentially be knocked out and be able to reset the whole conversation.
So nevermind. The paperclip solution is still kinda weird, but actually pretty awesome. Paperclip-based reboots for me too, please.
EDIT: also, pockets on skirts? QC *is* a technological utopia!
cybersmurf:
Well, the paperclip a.k.a. the hard reset should knock her out of the apology loop. but so would a soft reset.
Question is: would she lose any memories?
Makes me wonder whether AnthroPCs need downtime like humans need sleep? some subconscious cycles that compress, truncate and simplify memories?
