--- Quote from: SmilingCat on 26 May 2021, 18:24 ---The thing I'm curious about is whether or not there's some sort of safeguard to keep an AI from inhabiting more than one body at a time.
Because otherwise pintsize might have not so much migrated to a new body as multiplied.

it's been established in-strip that AI algorithms cannot be copied, only moved. Some readers have theorised that any attempt to copy would fail because the differences in environment and sensory input from two chassis, no matter how small, would instantly cause the two algorithms to diverge and rapidly become two very different individuals.
Setting that aside, I do kind of like the idea of particularly well-off synthetics having different bodies the way that you or I have different sets of clothes. Either for different activities or just in case they feel like looking different today.

Re. romantic speculation about Pintsize with May or anyone else, this seems entirely foreign to anything we've seen of his personality, and I'd go so far as to say that a Pintsize in a relationship would be unrecognizable and, in effect, a completely new character.

Uh, you’re kidding, right? He was clearly depressed after his online boyfriend rejected him and he was trying to date Roko for a while there. Am I the only one who remembers that?

Pintsize totally fouled up his only date with Roko; I expect she left early.

I’m pretty sure that the latter scenario would fall apart once he finds out that May opted for only the standard human number of holes.

So why does that not happen when an AI "moves"?
