--- Quote from: Stoutfellow on 10 Dec 2019, 05:19 ---We did see Bubbles face anti-AI harassment, and it played a significant role in her character arc.

I've mentioned this before but Momo once told Marten that there is a religious group that denounces AIs as 'soulless'.
I've said this before but Jeph seems to use the AIs as his method to tell parables about human bigotry and inclusivity.
--- End quote ---
Which, to my mind, is the better way to do it. You can highlight/speak to bigotry without using a real underprivileged group as a prop in your parable. Give the vulnerable and underprivileged representation, teach your lessons with someone else (preferably made up).
Is it cold in here?:
We do know from one conversation with Clinton that Claire can't feel confident about her physical safety, so the QC universe has progress to make, much as it is better than ours.
I think the fringe preacher didn't say "soulless" but actually said AIs were evil.
brasca:
A lot can be said about Marten‘s passivity, but in a world economy changing due to AIs maybe there aren’t a lot of job prospects even if he was proactive. It’s one thing to write off slackers who drift from job to job, but there are a lot of hard workers whose careers are fluid because their job was outsourced or replaced by a machine.

Steve is drinking a fancy beer, in a little glass! No regular pint mug for him!
sitnspin:
People are not their jobs. Far be it from me to defend a dude, but Marten is enjoying his life, demanding that he get a "real job" in order to be worth loving is some late stage capitalist bullshit.
