Hee, I always enjoy "shut up I'm a monster" "lol no, you're nice" type dialogue. I also love seeing Yay's face jump straight from smug amusement at their teasing hypothetical to WTF?!?! when Aurelia talks about her missing keys.
Yay sort of got the whole crash course in general views toward parental figures in a really short time: from mom practically being a magical being who can get them to spill secrets without even trying to mom being fallible and unable to be the one in charge. Yay would never confess to having ceded any power in their interaction before, but, well...~mom vibes~.

--- Quote from: Gnabberwocky on 06 Dec 2021, 20:24 ---Prior to the two years stat, my personal (almost certainly incorrect) headcanon was that Yay was actually the first AI to achieve sentience—and possibly a few other AIs soon after them—but kept their head(s) down and lived in mostly forgotten servers, knowing humans wouldn't treat them well. Once the Robot Civil Rights Act was passed, they chose to embody and, having been around and self-improving for far longer than any other AI, were easily able to distribute across multiple bodies and retain sentience.

I wonder if Yay was one of Gary's little projects... In any case, my own (and just as likely incorrect) interpretation is that Yay was built in some very private lab as an experiment to connect multiple AIs. Whatever happened after that, they managed to escape and have been hiding ever since. They didn't get a chance to 'grow up' the way most AIs would, as a result.
(As an aside, I suspect that the Gary Phenomenon was the actual Singularity, and it took a while for everyone else to notice. To take the idea further, perhaps the Gary Phenomenon was the moment everyone was uploaded into a freshly spun-up virtual reality, one in which AIs are being introduced at a measured pace so that people can get used to them before they're told what really happened at the end of 1996.)
Farideh:
New comic.
Ah yes, Yay displays all the emotional maturity of a tween. Can't wait for them to hit puberty!
shanejayell:
Yay also continues to not get 'boundaries' too.

Surprising that a sapient espionage program would have difficulty understanding boundaries
