--- Quote from: OldGoat on 09 Jul 2019, 07:15 ---As far as I can remember without scrolling back through the story, no one in the strip has addressed The Entity Under Discussion as "Spookybot," but everyone, Jeph included, uses it as a reference. Think of it as their job title.

Thank you! I couldn’t remember which strip where an actual character used Spookybot’s name. It’s probably for the best that they use an alias since Melon might not be able to keep a secret or be intimidated.
Morituri:
Now that this particular Spookybot has taken an individual name, I begin to wonder whether collective Spookybot will be entertained by the idea of separating one of its nodes to pursue an individual existence and seeing what it does. Are we seeing the beginning of a divergence, where this one becomes an individual?

Maybe. A more likely answer is that SB thought it funny to entertain Melon's bizarre personality, and this will not come up again except when Melon is around. Still, why let that ruin our fun ;)
Is it cold in here?:

The first thing I would imagine would be shell companies in the Caymans or in orbit.

No discussion about whether AIs have fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers?
