How much admiration is due to a physique that was manufactured to order? It's not like they have to work to maintain their figure (in the human sense; obviously some mechanical maintenance will be required from time to time). "Yep, you have a good eye for body design?"
baronvonfritz:
Yay just keeps getting shorter... I mean, I know they have like no less than seven bodies, some with seams, some without, different noses, hair styles, clothing styles, and apparently different heights.
I wonder if Yay was more of an experimental AI given the freedom and ability to self edit and compile beyond the seemingly limited standard AI minds fostered in the civil creche's. Or was the Dolphin AI joke actually serious and someone transferred the intelligence and sentience of dolphins into an AI substrate? I dunno why I noodle on Yay so much, maybe Clin-ton is my spirit animal. I guess the choice of Jeph to represent a nonspecific entity as a true plurality is fascinating.
What would that even be like? To truly enjoy your own company, self care seems to take on an interestingly social aspect, does the loss or damage of a body cause any particular stress to the psyche? With that much power, and near omniscience, why would Yay even constrain themselves to interact with the group unless listening and observation just doesn't quite provide the understanding true experience conveys.
Bleh, Ima quit talking now.
Tova:
Why do I get the feeling that Clinton's speech was lifted from a burst of stream-of-consciousness that Jeph had about AIs one night.

No different from admiring someone for their sartorial senses.
Farideh:
Or tattoos. Basically you're just complimenting their taste.
MrNumbers:
No please don't interrupt I'm extremely interested in where Clinton was going with this.
