Yes Darnel that is what I mean. In Star atrek they had the concept of a time accelerated incarceration where you could experience years of a simulation targeted at your psychology while only hours would pass. I'd assume AI have an ability to change how they perceive time and the prison would lock out that setting. So the loss is not as absolute since they are immortal but it could still.be torturous.
Do AI die? I mean prison might be hell because of how they experience linear time but they don't really lose valuable time the way an organic does.
It's probably a mistake to think of prison as a pure hiatus between stretches of real life. Would immortality make you indifferent to imprisonment?
I don't normally comment here, but I have to say that the composition of panel three is top notch, and May looks amazing there.
Yes, but what the heck is going on with May's floaty eyebrows? Or does she have partially-transparent hair?
I like how Jeph just accepts that he has to provide a name and background for each character we see now. Quick, QC Wiki folks make a page for them!
Hm May eyebrows are growing...
I like the "softening" of May. still a lil crusty, with a tough exterior, but she does a lot more editing and she took bubbles advice to heart. Good writing Mr. Jacques,... Props.
To me that sounds less like being grounded and more like community service. "Stay in there until you find all the snakes," kinda thing
May, I realize you're sensitive about this, but she's a kid, so try not to be a complete ass about it.
By her standards May is as careful as a hangover art historian handling a Faberge egg.
I saw this comic's childhood and now I'm hoping it gets its top choice of college applications.
I love the blurbs describing passing characters.
They're never questions I asked, but I'm always glad I have answers to them.
Just a couple of jail birds drawing on robots
A hardened con ARTIST, maybe... ;)
Durian? They still won't speak to Honeydew...
I'm very jealous of Apricot being able to make that an actual career
Probably helps to have no real material needs beyond a closet with a power outlet.
Hi, Apricot. You have great taste in spray artists.
Is Apricot related to Melon & Lemon? Should I feel sorry for their brother, who is unfortunately named Kumquat?
Let's not forget Durian
She sits on cats? A friend of Crushbot then?
My thoughts exactly. She's a professional though and manages it without permanent damage to the cats.
Ok. We gonna have to ship Apricot now... Apricot / Beefbot? :P
if you are paid to catsit multiple cats at the same time, does that make you a professional catherder?
Synonymous with Master of Chaos.
Good to meet you, Apricot. And interesting how May goes from puffing up Sam to a call out on her perceptions.
Well, that's what happens when someone responds to being complemented by someone by comparing that person's year in prison to what was most likely a week of partial confinement. On the one hand, I've been grounded for a week, and it made me feel more sympathetic towards people who are incarcerated. On the other hand, I understand that my experience was bliss compared to someone who spent a night in the county jail, and spending any time at all in an actual prison is worse still. I feel like it's probable that part of why May doesn't want to talk about robot jail is the loss of things she took for granted as an AI, and now still has to go without (no selling her CPU time, for example) that humans can't possibly appreciate. But there's also probably aspects in there of someone having found a way to make life unpleasant for AIs in ways that AIs not subject to it can't even imagine.
Professional catsitter?
I misread that one. Thought it was professional catsuiter...
Didn’t we just see this one
You saw the timelapse video of it being created.
