Reminded me of a stupid punishment that the UK government introduced a while ago---the Antisocial Behaviour Order, or ASBO. I grew up with people who got one and considered it a badge of honour. Eventually a new government came in and replaced it with something equally ineffective.
I love the square drunk bubbles for the robots (not to be confused with Bubbles)
OMG yes it's such a perfect, cute little detail.
..."voop" "vip" "voop"... - the sounds that square drunk bubbles make as they derezz.
I agree w/ that!
For a moment, I thought the lampshade had an antenna...
No antenna, but, hey, how many lampshades have a ponytail?
I love that MF pulls a silly “I AM A ROBOT I MUST OBEY” routine... as a robot. Mighty meta. :)
Clearly dealt with drunk robots before... XD
Only in QC can you make that sort of statement.
That lampshade is gonna break, she’s gonna panic and buy a new one, and it’ll be revealed that the original is actually junk. If I’m right about this series of events then I will buy a lottery ticket because I can see into the goddamn future
Now Jeph will have to redraw and rewrite the next page in order to bamboozle you. My money is on "cut to a different scene".
Somebody needs to revoke a few of MF's in-app permissions.
Square drunk bubbles! Ha!
Totally missed that.
OBEY. CLICHE. OBEY CLICHE. OKAY.
Have I mentioned that I really like Renée?
Given Millie's past drinking and behavior, and that she can't become undrunk like other AIs, would this qualify as a drinking problem?
I think it's been established that she absolutely *can* become undrunk, she just doesn't want to. ...so, uh, in answer to your question... yes.
How do you trick a post-singularity drunk AI? The same way you trick a drunk frat boy. Hahaha
Fly her apart then!
Renee is smart. I'm a little worried that Millefeuille has a drinking problem though.
...because she got drunk, once?
Millie is best lamp. Don't @ me
If we don't break free in 15 seconds, she'll belly up.
Inadvertently finding root access.. priceless
Renee is wise beyond her years. Good solution.
The obligatory drunk-with-a-lampshade-on-their-head has arrived!
Throttles stuck at full, Cap'n!
We've all been there...
