Up next: Steve eating cereal, wondering about the burnt smell coming from his basement.
Melty Moments with Melon.
Please tell me she gets a fortune in insurance money and upgrades to a May-level hot-bot version with actual melon *stripes*...
Nah. Seems in-character to her to stay Frankenmelon
Her new chassis will be made by Tesla - the Musk Melon
@Todd Ellner • God Damn It. Take your like and sit in the penalty box.
Well Melon was hot to begin with. It makes sense she’d combust.
I fear Jeph is setting us up to give Melon a new chassis and, upon occupying it, she becomes rational. Please Jeph, do not do that to us!!
I'm glad I got most of the wild partying out of my system before the age of smart phones and social media.
IS MELON OKAY?!?!?!?!
Even if somehow Roko would lose her job over that (which is doubtful), she'll have a stellar career as a You-/Vtuber.
I haaaate it when people start taking pictures if I am inebriated. Especially if I am smoking, I have literally left parties over this. I ask politely once for them not to, then I just leave.
Where do I send the get well card for Melon
Draw it yourself. It will be more touching. Especially if you draw the pictures in/on it. Also not saying it in a condescending manner, just suggesting. Social awkwardness and text make it hard to convey tone.
I have to disagree with Roko. The fault lies with Millefeuille (which she herself correctly admitted). It’s deeply unwise to live-stream drunken antics, but if you absolutely must, you don’t start without the clear consent of everyone involved, established before the drinking begins and sensible inhibitions start getting tossed aside. It makes sense in terms of her character for Roko to blame herself, but I wish she didn’t. She has enough on her shoulders.
Well, all the decisions being made in a drunken haze makes it sort of a grey area -- whatever limited culpability you give to Roko for a drunken callout post, you also have to give to Millefeuille for the decision to livestream, since that was also made while intoxicated. But I also agree it's very in character for Roko to claim the blame.
I have a hard time seeing this not ending badly for roko. Like career suicide bad.
Maybe current career but it could open doors as a figure head of AI rights
"... for excellence in dildoirics"?
Dildonics, I think?
ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT MY LIFE IS PRETTY PLAIN I LIKE TO WATCH THE PUDDLES GATHER RAIN AND ALL I CAN DO IS POUR SOME TEA FOR TWO AND SPEAK MY POINT OF VIEW BUT IT'S NOT SANE
quick, someone talented draw Melon in the "this is fine" meme!!! ~<3
Melon enjoying that battery acid spicy cocktail again I see
Melon knows how to party!!
Thanks for the dog sitting in the burning room hint. Would have missed that otherwise.
Cue Melon getting W e i r d e r. And frankly, heck yeah.
Not if her processor is fried. They could replace it and we would end up with a Melon that was… “Normal/Boring.”
MELON NO
Excellence in Dildotronics
Also, Millie should maybe consider going to meetings with Faye.
Oh noes… poor Melon. For some reason, I get the feeling past certain limits might cause a seizure in them, which causes arcing.
Beepdrive Bottom? I guess the answer about the pajamas is "both work and personal"
(muffled, from the other room:) Melty!

I really hope Melon is okay
I don't doubt her core is okay, and the rest can be replaced. I'm more worried Jeph is going to show the "partially burnt and melted" Melon before she's repaired. (That description calls a pretty horrific visage to my mind's eye.)
Valley Semi might cave given the viral negative PR but Roko's surely fired and getting another job where you need any kind of diplomacy is going to be hard. Coffee of Doom it is then!
Well, Roko has been kind of forcefully promoted to being in charge of the whole organization, so... I'd say Valley Semi caves in to popular pressure/bad PR, their AI can unionize, drunk boston-accented rants rants on social media become standard procedure.
I find it hard to believe that this could possibly be the first time Melon accidentally melted herself.
Bodyhub probably keeps an anomalously large stock of her favorite model on hand. I wonder if she has a hardened core similar to Roko.
Oh Melon.
this day just keeps getting
Am I reading that right? Beepatrice BoHo?
I think it's Botto
Congrats Beeps on the 5 star award.
Upside: Valley Semi makes some very fast labour reforms. Downside: no employer ever takes a meeting with Roko again.

Weird but I get it.
Excellence in dildonics!
“Excellence”. Thank you. I couldn’t parse that word myself.
I went to 11 once. Now I can't go back to Mexico.
Melon, no
This is what happened to all those Spinal Tap drummers.
Whoa, too soon, Ric Parnell isn't even in the ground yet.
Turns out this one DOESN'T go to 11.
Well, not for long
The most alarming thing is that Arthur probably knows exactly what to do when Melon is partially melted & burned.
If worst comes to worst, maybe they can temporarily rehouse her in Momo's old chassis, if available
This means they have to explain what happened to Fayebles.
Faye is going to start drawing dicks on Melon's head if this keeps up.
So next steps: put a valley semi sticker on Melon and share pics? ;p
Melon needs to go to Uniion Robotics. STAT.
More business for Union Robotics! Thank you, Melon!
... anyone else struggling to imagine the smell of a burnt melon?
Ohhh, so this isn’t how public awareness campaigns are usually done?
OH NO, MELON
Sounds like a Melon-Lemon side arc incoming
Oh no... . o O (Melon!)
Melon goes to 11 but 11 is actually Melon’s 1.
IT’S FINE
