--- Quote from: BenRG on 14 Jan 2020, 03:42 ---Given that the device whose settings Bubbles was altering is sentient, there is a real unbreakable security measure.

No, it's not? I mean, it's Roko who is sentient, not her body.

But she is in situ all the time. It's hard to hack when the administrator shares the same input/output ports.
--- End quote ---
Isn't this whole arc being about her acting under user rights, with with built-in routines overriding her commands to the body?

That’s interesting, actually. It would be much creepier without the huge popup message. We can’t say this for sure about AI psychology, but if it’s similar to a human’s, then she would probably have remained unaware of the feature, and told herself that her failure to follow through was her own self-preservation instinct, or even an active decision.

As I said on Reddit, yeah, it would be actually worse. A ton worse. "Subtle hijack of control without notification is the worst way of enforcing EULA that can be imagined. If I can't do something I want to do, at least I deserve being informed why and how." I believe it's qualify for gaslighting.

I'm not complaining, mind you. Hotness has nothing to do with height...
--- End quote ---
A matter of taste perhaps, because I do see a difference (or imagine that I do), but I found how she was drawn earlier to be hotter.
Zebediah:
Whatever other changes Jeph may have made to the way he draws Bubbles, the biggest remains the difference in her body language and facial expressions from when she was first introduced. Well, and the lack of armor, but that's part of it. She's much more relaxed and far happier than the Bubbles we first met. Faye has been good for her.
