When even Yay recognizes their lack of sense........ lol
Claire, the Common Sense Particle of Cubetown.
So now they'll have to settle for tea *or* no tea ...
Whoa. Cosmo snoot!
Sniff snoof
Somehow getting "let me laugh even harder" vibes from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGLXMKUWkJE
I was half expecting to find out that Yay was involved in Cubetown in some way. It sounds like the sort of place they'd create out of boredom.
Technically nothing about Yay's response means they _didn't_ create Cubetown for fun and then decide to put Claire in charge of it.
At this rate, I'm really starting to get the vibe that Claire is going to end up running the place...
I'm sure they will beg her to do just that
Ah, "Common Sense" - one of the great oxymorons, right up there with "military intelligence", "happily married", and "fresh frozen jumbo shrimp".
When Yay says someone need common sense, that's set the bar loud and clear
Yay is a very serious minded person how dare
I see Yay favors putting a little sand on the explosion so it lasts longer.
It's secretly thermite disguised as sand until the impacted layer of gypsum burns off. Then it's disco inferno time!
This is what I expected, and it is better than I hoped, and I love it.
Yay and I share an opinion on Cubetown.
Well this means Yay will keep one eye on Claire for Aurelia.
How is Cubetown like not on literal fire?
Floating in the ocean likely helps.
Always a good day when there's Yay in the comic. XD
Yay's response is *exactly* what I would have expected.
Red flags upgraded to magenta
So the red flags are feeling a little blue?
I mean, that's kind of reassuring.
I've definitely been Claire in this situation. I took the job anyway. I lasted 11 months.
Forget it Jake, it's Cubetown.
Claire turns down the job, then Cubetown relocates nearby.
“Oh look, that apartment building looks cube-shaped!”
Cosmo is rolling on the floor, laughing, during panels 2-5.
Speaking as someone who has applied for quite a few jobs, it's great (or as Claire says, "reassuring") to find out that the employer needs what I know how to do. The last thing I want is to be hired but not actually required.
I love how Yay pauses to take a dramatic breath before continuing the laugh, even though they presumably do not need to breathe.
It's all part of several of the many laughter routines they're running in parallel.
No-one is pointing out that Yay is proactively initiating physical contact with another person, and someone they've only just met to boot.
Maybe they absent-mindedly did that, because so much processing power is going into the laugh.
OK, but does Yay know about common sense?
More than Moray. Far less than they think they know.
As the only person with common sense, Claire soon rises to control Cubetown. But the stress of controlling all these flakes drives her to The Dark Side. As Claire The Evil Librarian threatens to achieve global domination, the only way she can be stopped is to Release The Virus.
As a bonus, we get to see Marten as her leather-clad Chief Enforcer.
I’m getting a Jimmy Carr laugh vibe from Yay - they’re just so …
Yay is FAR too sophisticated to have an affectation like laughing with the breath in instead of the out... And far less creepy
welp, there goes my "Yay is secretly running Cubetown" theory
In hindsight, the whole place is too... cheerfully inept for Yay xD
And maybe a standing zoom link back to Northampton, hire everyone as consultants.
Cosmooooo!
Calling it now. Cubetown will become the modern Library of Alexandria under Claire's iron fist.
And the Librarian nods solemly, hands you a banana, and says: Ook.
lol, that's about what I expected from them And some of you nerds thought Yay might be running the place
I don't think this reaction removes that possibility...
May I point something out here? Just, as it were, typing aloud. Yay is on the best of terms with Melon. They like her, enjoy her company, and I would argue that their friendship with her is important to them. Now, look at their response to Cubetown. Just how bad IS the situation there to elicit THAT response from somebody who thinks Melon is cool?
Melon's friends are cool with her because she's one person and not in a position of authority. Now imagine a research laboratory consisting entirely of Melon.
So they're saying: take the job, but be ready to run?
Yeah, I already figured that out and I'm not a super-intelligent AI. Any useful advice?
Nope, just more laughter
oh dear
I mean, sounds about right from what we've seen and heard
Happy Yay! You’ve come a long way, Spookybot!
It feels like one of those supervillain evil maniacal laughs. But I’m sure it’s fine.
Had it been like panel 5 of this comic, then maybe... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1997
I can only imagine Yay' is laughing like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g-_ZGbt2j0
She goes in planning to do some library science. Two months later she's made Cubetown's CCSO: Chief Common-Sense Officer.
Two months? I'm betting two weeks if not less.
Sounds like everywhere I've ever worked...
We must have worked for a LOT of the same companies.
I don't remember Yay ever laughing like this before
Nobody ever asked him about his opinion of Cubetown before. :)
can't tell if Yay is trolling Claire or themselves here
I don't think they are. So far, everything We've been shown about Cubetown tells me Yay is just saying what Station said, only with their standard gothy, snarky undertones. Which is good for Jeph, he's not turning Station or Yay into a plot spoiler; the real story here is "How effed up is Cubetown for Claire to say 'I'm in/I'm outta here?'"
The foreshadowing
I know they're AIs in totally different universes, but Yay's got some of Bender's not-hiding-anything laugh going on.
I feel like that just comes with being a poorly socialized, super powerful AI
this bodes well
