Are there any AIs that are not either obviously robotic or young android? Any ‘vintage’ model androids?
No, because Crushbot.
I was waiting for Beeps to realize that fountain pens can't really be used for triplicate...
They can if you fill everything out three times. And you'd have to, since I've never seen a laser printer that can generate a carbon form.
I'm sure Claire, who owns several fountain pens (not to mention blotters and inkwells) and will gladly take it off Beep's hands.
I swear the amount of times I've wanted to fire my boss...
Pretty sure we have all had that particular desire (currently or otherwise)
There's much to be said about a good pen. But on the other hand you can't get that much better than a Pilot G2, and those are $2-$4.
My preference for cheap is the Uni-ball Roller in micro point. (I'll also accept a Pilot Precise V5, although it's not quite as fine... and now I'm wondering where my Pilot Hi-Tecpoint V5 Cartridge System went...)
Could alway say the pen is Winslow's new hire gift. The promotion could be Roko's... just belatedly.
"Promoting me to your boss was bad decision-making, Beeps." "MORE REASONS I DESERVE TO BE FIRED"
Beeps, just return the pen to the store, and we'll call it square.
Beeps, seriously, your kink is not OK.
We don't kink-shame here!! I think poor decision-making shaming might be OK though.
I can imagine that Beeps paid with Bitcoin and when they return the pen they find out that she has a metric sh*t ton of Bitcoin, but she doesn't realise how much money that is.... You know, because the salespitch of Nakamoto-san was convincing.
I really want to blow a raspberry on Beeps stomach, No just me then.
No, not just you
I figured something like this would be how Roko gets promoted.
Say what you will of Beeps as a boss - she sure recognizes talent when she sees it
well.. surprise promotion is surprise!
Something about robo-athleisure wear amuses me to no end.
Same
Yeah, Beeps REALLY needs someone to manage her. Possibly even micromanage her. Might as well be Roko, seeing as she keeps volunteering.
Good call Beeps... Good call. No, not the begging, but promoting Roko.
Well, SOME Sailors are nice... Mostly, we have the same distribution of "nice" and "not nice" as the general population. Just glad to see Rokko getting her due, really. Not that there's a pay raise for volunteer work...
...I'm honestly not sure if you missed the joke or if I'm missing the joke.
Who exactly is Arthur? The name didn't seem familiar, and after I looked stuff up, it seems that the other known employee's name is Nelson but there is an AI named Arthur. Is this a mistake or a previously unknown employee?
Isn't Arthur Melon's roommate?
Shoulda gotten her a TWSBI Eco.
Can I give Beeps a hug and be her friend? I really like her
I hope that this will lead to increased satisfaction for all parties involved
Oh Beeps.... However, Roko really does need to take over.
Actually, I think she has just taken over by abdication.
I think if Roko is wise, she’d not take the promotion. Maybe let Arthur run things?
Roko definitely needs someone to keep her in check, but she really is a good leader. I get the feeling that Beeps never wanted to be in charge in the first place, but I'm guessing they didn't have too many options at the time.
Did Rokko just get promoted
competence > org chart
Yeah, if this was money the foundation had, and not Beeps' own pocket cash... I don't know if this would be a fireable offense for a regular business, but it definitely feels like it would be the final warning.
Only if it can't be easily corrected by returning (or reselling) it. Of course, if Beeps goes to return it and comes back with something that's twice as expensive, that won't count as correcting the problem.
Please pardon my ignorance, but what is a "cinnamon roll"? Renee called Elliot that, too.
Someone soft and adorable.
Just make her the boss, Beeps.
She just did. 😀
I have a lot of questions about why Beeps is like this.
If she's related to Melon, it would explain a lot.
Oh beeps, you try so hard
Omg Beeps, you fricking adorable, dumbass, cinnamon roll.
