--- Quote from: OldGoat on 23 Oct 2019, 00:28 ---I don't know how much time Jeph is going to put in to building a throw-away character, which makes me wonder if "Greg L." is actually someone we've met already.

Of course, Mittens Romney has already done such, and maybe this strip is a comment on that.
Another manifestation of Yay, who has far more resources available?
Perfectly Reasonable:
( looks at Roko ) My favorite color is violet!
( looks at Beepatrice ) My favorite color is orange!
Inconsequential:
Some real live meatspace people maintain their FB accounts in a similar way. Just some small amount of innocuous nearly random activity so as to not seem like a luddite, but nothing that could possibly offend anyone rational.
Still, "Greg L." is pretty obviously a bot of some sort. In a universe with fully sentient AIs wandering around, it should be trivial to come up with something more believable than that, so perhaps it's a trap of some sort.
I wonder if "Greg L." is related to Gary?

Jeph got annoyed at someone on Facebook and decided to express his feelings through Roko, I suppose.

I thought it was a statement on The Gift of FacebookTM - every creep being able to creep random people on their social media - being creepy to some people?
Or maybe that's just me getting being old again ... :-\

Notice in the right hand column on the facebook post the little disclaimer text
(Legal disclaimer

Not to say its not in support of Warren but an intersting aside
