--- Quote from: Tova on 05 Aug 2020, 17:22 ---I've been following this ID conversation with some interest, and I have a couple of observations.
Firstly, transfer of an AI to a new chassis does not involve transferring a "CPU part" or any other hardware, if what we've seen encompasses the processes. It is a software transfer. So any kind of silicon chip serial number is not fit for purpose. It would need to be some kind of immutable software ID.

I must disagree with your premise: see 3008, and 3907; hardware clearly in evidence.

Roko "running on the same substrate she's always been" seems to be an anomaly, inconsistent with other comics in which we've seen actual transfers take place. Actually, the fact that Lemon felt it necessary to explain this also suggests that this isn't always the case. And so (this is more fan theory than I normally get into) I would guess that transferring the physical drive/memory can be done if the new chassis model is physically compatible with the drive's form factor (e.g. transferring to another of the same model); but in most cases, the transfer is carried out via cable. For example, in Momo's case, it seems likely that the new drive enclosure would be incompatible, being a dramatically different size.
Gnabberwocky:
I've never been sure how to feel about Renee. She's the Secret Bakery version of Faye in terms of abrasive personality, but I don't think we've seen a true redeeming moment from her. You can tell she's trying to put Elliot and Brun's happiness before her own, but she does it by trying to force them and Clinton together in various combinations. It doesn't seem like she's doing a very good job of decluttering Elliot's feelings.
Farideh:
She did let Brun move in with her, and then got a new apartment so Brun wouldn't have to live on her own.
I have a feeling that Renee's character is going to be fleshed out more soon(ish).
Gnabberwocky:
Comic.
Oh no, no we have to wait another 72 hours for the resolution.
It probably won't even truly finish, aargh.
Farideh:
Resolutions are SO much easier if they're not staring you in the face
