Easy Peasy

I think this pretty much confirms SB's alien origins. No name, minimal ethics (self described), it's home (in space) and the fact that it is unlike terrestrial AI's including Station. There's also a callback to Bubbles describing a massive hive intelligence.

I expect the boston accent to make a comeback with that

DID Spookybot HAVE a lot of money in the first place? She is an all powerful super sentient AI that can get anything she wants without NEEDING money. I wouldn't be surprised if she actually only had like 30 dollars or something.

here is where we learn that either Spooky actually doesn't have alot of money and simply manipulates other people or that she's trying to teach Roko that throwing money at a problem doesn't work

Spookybot are a djinn, are they not?? they've 'helped', may god help us.

hey, now Roko and May have something in common! Both of them accidentally caused a good thing to happen via sarcasm

The stupid thing is, if Bezos wanted to give away all his money he'd have to be pretty careful about the time and place to avoid completely destabilizing the world's economy in ways nobody could predict. I'm assuming the mighty AI was able to calculate instantly how to put their money to the most use with the least harm of course.

... OK, I'm thinking we're about to find out what happens when you try to make the friendly neighborhood Deus ex Machina into a bona fide character. o.O

what a good robot?

I hate to be a grammar pedant, but in the interest of saving Jeff from 10,000 emails, that first panel should be "then" not "than"

Funny thing... if you give away all of your money to charity, you'll be in a bit of trouble once tax time comes around as you can't deduct all of that, so you'll still owe taxes.

i think i figured it out. we're in the pointy chin phase of jeph's art

Hmm, with some kind of twist of course. Like... everyone Roko helps gets a Philomena model G body identical to hers? They could be the Roko-bots!

WHICH charity, Spookyboo?

Why does Spookybot even *bother* with neck seams? It's not like they get their chassis off a production line. Right?

The fact that they are concerned about exposure reaffirms my suspicion that Spookybot is wanted by a lot of government agencies especially the secret ones. And if they were completely invulnerable they wouldn't care. I'm more concerned with Roko's safety than anything else. If there is a group as unscrupulous and resourceful as Spookybot then they wouldn't hesitate to get to them through Roko.

Than in the first panel should be then I think.

Apparently SpookyBot has a similar sense of humor to May's..."that would be hilarious if you quit your job because of me." https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3833

I'M HELPING!!! I think two are my new favorite dynamic.

Wow. Some charity just got sixty nine billion dollars.

Anyone wanna bet that Beeps doesn't remember the charities password for financial matters. Money lost.

Actually, this is a BAD idea... An amazing amount of charities have horrible through-put (i.e. you give them $1, how much goes to the causes that they proclaim to be trying to help). Once upon a time, I had to find out about these kinds of things, and the numbers get bad and scary, fast. There were one or two big charities, I can't recall which ones, where the "cause" gets about $0.30 for every dollar that goes in. The rest goes into "upkeep," for a charity that has no paid employees beyond the leadership. The best charities I'd found out were Catholic charities, ethically run Muslim ones, and a number of smaller charities. Of course, for all we know, Spookybot is doing money laundering for another project...

Tomorrow: There $500 donated. You actually thought we had need of money?

I'm 50/50 on the next strip being like "we only have $20 in our account, we use influence to get money as we need it" vs "the economy is now in ruins and the salvation army just bought america"

Be careful what you ask of an incomprehensibly powerful entity with a warped sense of humor.

'What' was my reaction.

What does a broke, multi-corporeal AI do after this? "We need a place to stay. Friend."

I... really want a beep boop crop top

Oh spookybot

Spookybot Foundation

"than" should be "then", I think?

Whelp that escalated quickly...

Which charity I wonder?
