Is it cold in here?:
I'm glad they're talking about the issue of Faye's inevitable decline. They will have to think about her mortality.
Tova:
My weird confession for the week (maybe year) is that Bubbles used to remind me of Is it cold in here? but today reminds me of Farideh.
BenRG:
Today's strip reminds me that I'm pretty sure that Bubbles long ago started work on a Faye chassis #2 into which to put her girlfriend's brain when her current meat chassis wears out. At some point, she'll remember the concept of 'consent' and actually ask Faye's permission. However, I also think that she's puzzling over what is the right time to bring it up.
John Allenson:
Maybe there are different words for this.
Bubbles and Faye don't exist in our reality. The banter in this strip is unrealistic for us. Within their own reality, these are completely realistic options.
The second is the type of reality I want in stories. They should be internally consistent. Actions should have consequences. Physics might have some exceptions but should still work. That's why I loved Into the Spiderverse and hated Bladerunner 2049.
JimC:
I'm finding it a bit disappointing that the AIs are getting more and more humanlike in behaviour. Its Niven's principle - there are minds that think as well as you do, but differently, so its a little sad that they are teding to think exactly the same as the human characters.
