BenRG:
So, it very much looks like we'll be seeing New MayTM either this week or next week. So, the time has come to re-address an older poll and ask: What kind of new chassis May is going to get?

Naturally, as she's working from a budget, it is reasonable that she's not going to be able to get her dream body but is going to be able to avoid getting another 'Human-sized Barbie doll' and she'll definitely be able to avoid another junker (although a reconditioned second hand unit is not beyond possibility). The thing is that May of today has been through experiences that may have changed her priorities somewhat.

As boring as it seems, I'm expecting something along the lines of an older-series Philomina model - humanoid enough but with the occasional touch that shows that it is still synthetic like the featureless ears - subtle but there. The shipper in me is also looking forward to the first meeting between May v.3 and Sven!

Of course, I could be wrong and it might be that there is a ultra-high-fidelity model that curiously resembles May's Fire Emblem daydream and is inexplicably on clearance for some reason ("It turns out that 'Amazon Warrior Princess' is a bit of a niche market"). If that happens, I'm going to be looking suspiciously at Yay. After all, they want to help Roko and influencing May towards jumping for a nice body that just happens to be on sale by, say, controlled advertisement exposure and manipulation of video recommendations algorithms is well within their capabilities without breaching their ethics!

Wingy:
But what does Yay gain from that kind of exchange?  If it ever became known that Yay influenced the market this way, it would hurt Yay and Roko's relationship, perhaps seriously.

Besides, the Fire Emblem body is much taller than May is now, and May has already said she likes being short and blue.  I'm going to hold out for a blue Philomena-like body for May...

Llife-sized MegaBox version of her current model. Complete with functional recharging cube.  :laugh:


Yes, the robot folds up into a cube.

Not influenced the market, influenced May in the direction that they assumed from what Roko had said, they had assumed Roko wanted her to go. Yay may not be into mind control but they are still under the impression that the smartest person in the room should be the one making the decisions, no matter how indirectly.

Also, yes, it would upset Roko but it might be interesting to watch her trying to explain to Yay the difference between educating people to do the right thing and using subconscious programming to influence them to do what you think is the right thing. Because the dividing line is very imprecise and difficult to explain.
