I fully intended to post a variant on that, but I was too slow.
BenRG:
There's a song from a but ten years ago that has lyrics that go something like this: "I am a scientist / And I try to live on science alone!" I think that this is the case for Millifeulle. She's tries to be full-on just the research bot. I think that this is quite unhealthy and likely why she goes berserk whenever she turns on her Drinkr app; she has to let loose all that tension. In that, she reminds me of the behaviour of all the young professionals in the finance sector. One of the reasons they party so heavily and unhealthily (and, frankly, antisocially) is because of the extreme stresses and lack of normal social interactions they have.
The realisation of the total social desert that is her life clearly has hit Milli like a wrecking ball. So, maybe the time has come for Milli to look for all the people in her life who can fill in those blanks. I wonder how long it will be before she realises that guy with the moustache (Jones, I think?) would really like to be her friend if she weren't to keep completely ignoring him?
I think that, if Renee heard what Brun said in panel 2, she'd need to deny that she's crying and excuse herself to an urgent appointment.
Gyrre:

Yes, funny you should mention that. I see both of these as very much complementary actions. If we as a society want to rid ourselves of dangerous of soul-destroyingly boring jobs, then a UBI means no-one needs to do them anymore and automation means they still get done.

As Google keeps proving with their mismanagement of YouTube (especially in regards to copyright issues), there will always be those cases where a human (or human level intelligence) is needed to make a decision. Even when soul-crushing boredom is present.
Oenone:
I love the cheerful chibi Renee offering helpful life advice! And I also like that Brun sincerely loves and relies on her.
Autistic Vulture:
Brun is good at her job, even when she hasn't done it for a while.
