I can't figure out Pintsize's expression in the last panel.  Either he has just fallen in love with someone, or he realizes that he just found his people.

That smile reminds me a lot of the Grinch, that face-consuming smile as he conceives of his "wonderful, awful idea".  Pintsize may not yet realize that his expression reveals his scheming.

He just found his new people is the way I read that.  Now we have to have a week of Pintsize getting out of his companionship contract and moving on and Marten/Claire having to adjust to life without him.  Prediction: this will cause Martin some discontent and who knows where that leads since Claire has now signaled she'll take any job to be near Marten.

ANy job to be near Marten? Hmm, interesting, up til now I have read it as she will take any job to avoid facing possible rejections on librarian jobs (and perhaps in part also avoiding inevitable difficult conversations when a job far away presents itself).

While I appreciate QC's evolution into its current, quite humanoid AI-centric form, I will really miss the non-humanoid AIs. Plus, I feel there are still many possibilities with the OG cast members even when focusing a lot more on the newer cast. Especially Marten I feel has received relatively little attention in terms of his growth and development. But, perhaps JJ feels like the trials and tribulations of a privileged white straight male is not something that needs any attention in QC given how many much more important issues he could address in-comic?
I don't disagree there, actually.

We talk about Marten getting Pintsize assigned by mistake, but this is a reminder that Marten was not the right companion for Pintsize.

I am thinking of dialog from the theater version of A Wrinkle in Time:

Marten also just seems like he's in a decent spot at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if things pivot back to him in future, but in the meantime, no need to watch Marten eating cereal.

It’ll be interesting to see the “sides” that form if Pintsize wants to break his contract — based on Marigold and Momo, the assumption seems to be that humans do the rejecting, not the other way around.

That's always been the tenet,  from where I sit, that the AI and the human companion, contract with each other.  The question arises: with whom does the ownership of the chassis reside?  Does Marten still have a proprietary interest in Pintsize's chassis?  Or does it amortize over time, and devolve to the AI?  It seems we've seen both.  Marigold and Hanilore "gifted" the new chassis that Momo and Winslow received.  May got hers via crowdfunding.  Bubble's chassis was perhaps declared surplus and transferred to her?

I could be wrong, but hasn’t it been established in-comic long ago that each side can basically choose to end it whenever they want to? I.e. basically like any friendship, anAI can leave anytime they want to.

I imagine in the contract it may be explicitly stated that the human under no circumstances has any claim over their companions chassis, otherwise there would way too often be a warped power dynamic.

I was thinking "how did she find that comic? That seems really difficult" and then I thought "does Google image search work with suitable keywords?"

Yes, yes it does. #2284 is the second hit for "questionable content contract."

I would assume that a) the military gets its own set of laws as usual and b) if the sub wasn’t listed as “issued equipment” then it was under a specific contract regarding demobilisation of the individual. Besides I strongly suspect that nuclear submarines aren’t part of the companionship programme anyway.

Ok so...my guess is that the answer would be 'probably not' but I am now wondering if May had been fast enough to get the fighter jet body and upload into it that even if she would still be arrested that the body in question would still be considered her own due to technicality.

Also, on the note of ownership back near hte beginning there were anthropc parks and one of the anthropcs commented about being shut down and being repainted and changed and hating the new look, that was clearly a nonconsensual body modding so would the owner be liable for damaging the AIs property or is that one of those things we kind of handwave from the earliest periods as the world was still finding its feet?

That would be my guess admittedly but I suddenly imagined a setup where the laws technically as written didn't account for the body being gained illegally and were more 'once you are uploaded into it it is your and cannot be taken'

It’s really hard to say.  I’m never sure how much early comics are still considered canon, or what has been implicitly retconned.  They’re also far back enough that I’m not really troubled by continuity errors.

I'm not sure there was any handwaving involved. In the comic where Clinton was interviewing Marten, he mentioned a constitutional amendment and implied that it had been added recently. It probably was legal to treat AIs as personal possessions prior to that act, and if I remember my very limited law knowledge correctly, you can't be convicted of a crime that wasn't a crime when you did it.

A possible explanation for the change in the way AIs are portrayed and treated in the strip is the long civil rights struggle that Momo mentioned. The AI ERA happened well after the non-consensual body mods.

I'm reckon any owner/possession relationship would have disappeared pretty soon after the Singularity occurred, just before #1777: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1777

That would be my guess admittedly but I suddenly imagined a setup where the laws technically as written didn't account for the body being gained illegally and were more 'once you are uploaded into it it is your and cannot be taken'
It's clearly permissible for an AI to be forced out of their body temporarily if they are sent to Robot Jail (the body assignment guy explains that most AIs who wish to be embodied have a body to return to upon release), but I don't know of anything in the comic (post-singularity) that addresses whether an AI could be permanently deprived of the chassis they were in.

But I would think that more broadly this would fall under the general law that says you're not entitled to keep the proceeds of a crime. I'm pretty sure the chassis would be considered legally to be property (usually owned by the AI inhabiting it, but not necessarily so) and could be repossessed like any other property given cause - any other approach raises a host of issues. They might have written in some restrictions but it's highly unlikely it would be "under no circumstances whatsoever".

The large equipment AIs (nuclear reactors, submarines, fighter jets, space stations, etc.) probably would not usually own their chassis (Station might be an exception, given that he seems to own a large amount of E-C stock). Instead these would be owned by the power company or the military or whoever, and AIs would be paid a salary to work in them. Then if they wished to move on from that job, they would go back to being disembodied (or to their previous body if they had one), or to a new body that they would have to buy. An AI that was rich enough could buy its own chassis, as May tried to do, and set up essentially as an independent contractor. But given the fighter jet May wanted to get into cost IIRC $750 million, this is obviously not how most of them operate.

In Roko's case, we know that (before the Crushbot incident) she'd been in the same body since "birth", but seems to have gotten enhancements when she joined the police (which might actually have been when she left the creche, for all we know) - Lemon states that Roko got extra reinforcement as part of her law enforcement package. So this is probably on a basis along the lines of "we give you this enhancement when you join up and you don't have to pay for it if you stick around for x years". It's not clear how it would be handled for an AI who wanted to join the police but wasn't already embodied. It could be as simple as "you must provide your own body meeting these minimum specifications", or the police might own a number of available bodies that could be handled similarly to the large equipment ones, though they might deduct a fee from your salary if they're providing you a body. Or they might operate a "rent to buy" kind of scheme (and surely there would be third party body shops that offer this sort of service too).

For the smaller (humanoid and down) military chassis like Bubbles and OG Pintsize, it seems less likely that these would be enhanced civilian chassis; they are probably purpose built for military applications. There is obviously some ability to remain in their bodies after being de-weaponised. Whether this is a similar "stay in the military for x years and you can keep the body" deal (possibly with x varying depending on the type of body - Bubbles' is surely more expensive than Pintsize's) is unknown; it might also be that the body is a debt they have to pay off after leaving (probably depreciated depending on how long they were in). Presumably some AIs don't particularly want to keep their military chassis when they leave the military, opting instead for either disembodiment or a standard civilian chassis, but it would be cruel to force those who have become tightly integrated with their bodies out of them. And the military is probably able to afford reasonably generous exit provisions.

To my mind the most unclear aspect of this is how it works when an AI leaves the creche and wants to become embodied. Who pays for the chassis? Do AIs in the creche have their own funds, and if so where do they come from? Does whoever commissioned the AI to be created leave it a nest egg? More fundamentally, why are new AIs ever created, post-AI rights? It makes sense pre-AI rights that you could commission an AI to be constructed, which would then work for you indefinitely. In a post-AI rights world, where an AI once constructed is free to choose its own employment, where's the benefit to anyone in creating one? Do you just hope it has enough of a sense of gratitude to sign up to your service for long enough for you to get some return on investment? That sounds like a very shaky proposition to me and I can't see any organisation going for it - and yet the alternative of "this AI must work for company X for a minimum period of 7 years" is essentially AI slavery, which presumably is no longer allowed.

And yes, you can ask the same question about why people have children, which isn't generally because they're looking for ROI, but the key difference is that AIs are functionally immortal, particularly since they can transfer into more advanced bodies when their current ones become obsolete. That changes pretty much everything.

I’m pretty sure that AIs wishing to get a body on leaving the crèche join the Companionship programme, if they don’t find any other job that comes with a body appealing.

As for Bubbles, specifically, I think that for security reasons related to enemy actors potentially replacing the on board AI with an infiltrator she probably can’t leave that chassis. She was entered into the warbot programme before the AI rights amendment passed, after all.

I am fairly certain there are specific hardline exceptions, especially in the case of military hardware, such as the aforementioned attack sub. I imagine in that particular instance, the sub was more akin, legally speaking, to allocated gear than a body, and was stipulated as such in their military contract.
