Come With Me If You Want To Live

The exploration of the integration of the AI and Fully Bio worlds in this comic is masterful.

The world of QC just got waaaay more dystopian.

It's really great of you to subvert the "character wanders through the background unobtrusively" thing with Roko being right out there in the foreground. This strip just gets cleverer and cleverer.

I like that Roko is in front of Clinton's speech bubble in panel 4.

Roko, don't forget the HUMAN ABS!

Here's why I think Jeph will pair Elliot with Roko: It has been established that, firstly, they live in the same apartment block and, secondly, they have Melon as a common manic pixie gynoid friend. It should be relatively easy for Elliott to help Roko carry her bread supplies home one day and for them to start draw closer as friends. What comes next (possibly as a rebound to them seeing Brun kissing Clinton 'to see what it is like') would be relatively organic in terms of narrative flow, if a bit romcom cliche.

Looks like Jeph is lining up the next ship to torture and tease us with. Saying that.... Roko really needs to hook up with someone.

I probably post this too often but I think it's true: Roko really needs a hug!

Photobomb! Looks like Roko wants more screen time

I've long thought that the solution to bigotry is early and in-depth social contact. It's hard to 'other' people whom you know well and you meet every day. You might still hate them on a personal level because they're complete and utter asses but you won't see them as 'others'. So, anyone else think that, tomorrow, Roko is going to be cornered by Brun by the door who is going to want to now where she's going with all that bread?

God, Clinton is getting more anime by the second.

The Secret Bakery must have good products for Roko to keep returning. She suspects that Rene suspects what she's into. I would think that would be all the motivation she needs to find a more oblivious baker.

I like Clinton. He ha a cool attitude to his career prospect.

I feel like Clinton should be more excited that Faye and Bubbles got into human/AI relations.

but...which sitcoms? srsly because we're going to have to remember not to cancel them. also: it's BUNHEADS isn't it WE ARE DOOMED.

Jeph, you teasing bastard.

"and our bread"

And Roko’s like “I’d like to show him MY processing substrate...” as she glances at Clinton.

I feel uncomfortable with this. Like, some accidental/oblivious racism is happening here or something...

I wonder how she feels about this convo

I just want to what kinda of bread she has.

... Are we looking at a Roko x Clinton situation?..... What's their ship name?

If only AIs actually came into the world as free, self-aware, individuals. The ones we see in the world today are purpose-built, completely obedient, and exist as a sort of hive mind. We are unprepared for AIs because most ordinary people don't know anything about them. Kind of like immigrants. Humans are mostly just scared of other humans, why will it be any different with humanoid AI? They will be stranger than we can imagine. I'm waiting for the Second Renaissance myself.

I love blushing Roko. She is adorable.

Oh gosh, it took me 2 passes to figure out why she was embarrassed. I should probably get some sleep.

I am slightly in love of this odd little secondary storyline about her bread fetish xD

The world is just not prepared for a dust-up with AIs.
