Fairy Girl: "Bah, Humbug!"*


*Littled did Fairy Girl know, she became one of the first door-to-door Anti-carolers,
later to be known as the Scrooges.

I might be a bit odd in the head, but methinks that in the original, she said it best.  Most of Pintsize's activities can really prompt no response but gibberish.

Fairy Girl: "You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this robot is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport, yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?"

Faye: "Oh. You are (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1592) very (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1603) warm (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1614)"
Bubbles: "I have a military grade power source. It radiates 600 watts of irritation in response to violations of personal space."

BUBBLES: "I fully understand your impulse to engage in close contact to establish and reinforce emotional bonds but I would still prefer you respect my personal space."

FAYE: "Ah, but that wouldn't be so warm and cuddly, would it?"

That raises an interesting question.  How warm is your average AI compared to your average human?  The cooling requirements would most likely cause them to be warmer than ambient temperature, but how much warmer?

I'd guess they'd be cooler than humans when they aren't doing a lot of thinking/processing.

Judging by the pre-set emergency shut off temperature monitoring built into my PCs' BIOS, any thing over 90 degrees F is a dangerous level for the CPU.

I can say with relative certainty that larger A.I. chassis like Bubbles would be liquid cooled, at least in the area where her main processor(s) are located, so they'd have warm and cold spots.

Hmm.  Mine says that it goes critical at 80°C.

Well all those temperature profiles go out the window once you step away from planar silicon architectures.
With all the, slightly ahead of our time, technology already deployed in the QC-verse I do not find it all that hard to believe that the core technology.
Think 3-5 materials, carbon nano tubes and Graphene, Q bits and electron spin control, positron circuits [still pure science fantasy - thanks Perry Rhodan].
Then there is such things as photonics where the circuitry uses light instead of electron flow, super conductivity and just plain ole planar stacking at the chip level.
< think club sandwich but with thinner insulating bread slices in the middle layers >

Well here's the blushing robot (http://gyrrakavian.tumblr.com/post/140286340265/rosedai-gyrrakavian-rosedai-johnny-bug) discussion from tumblr from earlier this year.
