It's OK, Claire-bear, you know that Emily looks up to you! ... and I can't remember exactly where that strip is, and I should have gone to bed 45 minutes ago, so...
Found it- https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2540
Omigod the bitter envy!
Emily! I've missed her.
But did Emily pass the Turing test?
That might be undecidable. We don't even know if she's going to halt. Biology suggests yes, but it is Emily...
As someone who works in natural language processing (closely related to computational linguistics), I have thought about how weird it'd be in a world like QC with widespread general AI. Fortunately for me, we are nowhere close to reaching that level of AI anytime soon.
so w/c of them is a Whovian? shirley, one of them is a Whovian, right?
Claire, probably. And don't call me Shirley.
Clara Rockmore and Leon Theremin got caught up in the swirling tides of history. Do a little research. You do *not* want to get caught in the swirling tides of history...
That led me to do a bit of research. Thank you!

Nine Inch Nails uses it in 'Just Like You Imagined' which is my very favourite piece of music of any genre, ever. I have a DVD of one of their live concerts where the guy is playing one on the stage. Unfortunately the only one available on YouTube (while remarkable in its own right for it guest pianist) does not feature a theremin. :-(
Anyone else think of Sheldon from Big Bang with the theremin? :P
Actually, I thought of Bugs Bunny.
Don't be sore, Claire. They could have asked for a computer program that catalogues all computer linguistic theories - known and unknown - and Emily would have still passed with flying colours. Her level of giftedness with computers is downright... <i>Spooky</i>.
Wherever I go, theremin.

This is me. Oh no
What's geekier than a theramin? A build-it-yourself theramin.
So, Computational linguistics is either avery easy class, or Smif doesn't understand either. At any rate, Emily does seem to have met the course requirements. Or Yay will give her an "A" anyway.
Now I confess I had to do a web search for Theremins. Learning something keeps me, er, less elderly... :P
Are you picking up any Good Vibrations?
Dear god, if Emily and Melon met…
They have: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3728 With not so surprising results: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3729
Theramin kit ftw!
Oh shit. I've told my roomba a lot of secrets.
As long as your Roomba doesn't have a jet engine mounted on its back, I think your secrets are safe.
hi yeah id like two weeks of claire, high, playing thermien, cash or card?
theramin* whatever I'm high too
Oh, I missed Emily. Good to have her back!
Yes, she's so... complicatedly simple. I would totally love to hang with her IRL.
Oh, Emily
Small talk with an AI? Alexa, did you keep those launch codes?
I'm not sure. Did you mean Minuteman III launch codes or Trident II D5 launch codes?
