With respect: GOD! People continually apologize and make efforts not to make the error again. this wasn't a "THING" IN COMMON SPEECH twenty years ago. PLEASE SHOW TOLERANCE, PEOPLE ARE TRYING. (grumble - disrupting the flow,.....)
But this ISN'T speech. This is typing. It's a lot less forgivable to make this kind of mistake on a forum than in real life. When you make a mistake on a forum, you can correct it. Not to mention, even in speech there's a difference between "she -- I mean they" and just using "she" over and over. It's the latter that's being complained about. This may not have been a "thing" in common speech 20 years ago, but it absolutely was 10 years ago and a decade is more than enough time to become accustomed to it.
Please hurry, Yay. Please, please hurry.
Roko and Yay leave us trapped in the Shipper's Dilemma: on the one hand, their friendship is wholesome and great and must be protected, and on the other hand, they are both very hot and should bang :)
There's nothing precluding sex with wholesome friends. The notion that relationships destroy or subsume friendships is fallacious.
Glad the basement flooding didn’t force a travel postponement. I wish you a good journey and a good visit.
I'm sorry, Was there a bad thing in there someplace? I missed it in comparing it to the current lack of competence present in the world today...
Apparently you don't have to be a jerk just because you're omnipotent.
I love their friendship
Man, back when Yay was just Spookybot, saying stuff like that came across a lot more ominous & intimidating. But now they're baby (& Roku just ridiculed them for saying that) so it's just cute/indignant.
So Yay just admitted that they're a slacker... not putting forth their best effort and all.
Shorter Yay ..."only if Cosmo comes with me."
I, for one, would welcome our machine overlords.
We will eliminate your leadership class and dismantle ur economy as your new rulers! Sweet when do u start?
That sounds pretty damn good right now.
I, for one, welcome our new God-ruler
I forgot to say: Happy vacation & travels, Jeph!
Trying to find the downside of this; after all, as ruler of the world, she'd be able to take care of more greyhounds.
It sounds like Yay is feeling better 😊
Happy Holidays!
Is there a gender neutral first person plural equivalent for 'God-Emperor'?
Not that I can figure out. I am fairly sure that somebody will come up with something good, and THEN we'll both be saying: Why didn't -I- think of that!
I for one would be perfectly fine living under the absolute control of an all powerful god-AI like Yay.
RULE ME SPOOKY-BOT!
Have a great trip!
YA BIG SWEETIE
Safe travels.
"god-ruler of a world-spanning technostate" ^ thanks for that, Jeph, I'll be updating my business cards tomorrow morning
the next morning: "eh, it can wait until afternoon"
I can't remember everything we've been told/given hints about re Yay's precise origins, but I'm wondering if it could happen twice. I'd like to see them dealing with a younger version of themselves. (Yay junior could be called Nay).
In *my* day, we had to collapse the global economy, up hill! both ways! before we could declare ourselves god-ruler of a world-spanning technostate. Honestly, these kids today.
Yay's cute when they're pouting and all, but I gotta say that I hope we'll get some more Spooky stuff. Nothing EVIL or anything, it's just... I just don't want Yay to become one of those cool, scary characters who shows a softer side, and then ONLY has a softer side and never does anything but be cute.
So best-case, Yay become Hanners v02
What does an indescribably powerful multiply embodied crypto AI do for fun? Anything it wants to.
There's one tool that will keep the Singularity from being a terrible thing for humans. Lazy, lonely AIs. "Meh, that's good enough."
Loving Yay's arc
So now Yay has Three Rules. Rule One: Don't subvert the agency of another AI. Rule Two: puppers! Rule Three: Aurelia is a gateway drug
I don't know the third thing is necessarily a *rule* as such. Also, I think their first rule also applies to humans, though it seems like they have less ability to just go in and have their way with a human.
This comic is so heartwarming, it's always a great read before going to work for another big sociopathic corporation.
Enjoy your vacation, Jeph! Hope your basement is dry now!
I’m ready for there the be a god-ruler of a world-spanning technostate tbqh
I, for one, would welcome our new technocratic overlords.
Yay is chaotic good and I love it
Yay, that is the very DEFINITION of overachieving.
Aww, Yay's slowly inching from True Neutral to Neutral Good!
Not sure how you’re reading Yay as ever not having been Chaotic.
safe travels!
Safe travels!
