    How is that a conflict between the story arcs? That was a prototype, Momo is a production model from over a year later.

    Besides that, it's entirely likely that the robotic look was intentional, to avoid panicking the intended user. Hannelore was exceptionally contact-phobic at the time, after all.

    Freefall has a similar optimism, though not all in-universe recognize it.

    One of the things that intrigues me about AIs is the ease of copying and modifying. If I could express every aspect of my mind and personality as code, I know I'd be sorely tempted to either buy a blank chassis and ctrl+C some duplicates or manually root around and tweak stuff (after saving a backup, of course).

    Pintsize is an amoral little git, but he seems to be the exception for the most part. Station doesn't understand humans very well, but his experiance is limited, and when he screws up he tries to make amends and learn from his mistakes.
    Because people can be bad, and frankly, the AI have shown a better record than many humans, is no reason to enslave them, to bind them into servitude without any choice on the matter.
    If we ever create hard AI, they will be our children. Perhaps even our successors, but I hope mostly they will be our friends, companions in exploring this universe we have been given.

    Today's comic: In his defense, that is exactly what it looks like. If the comic had only had the first four panels, everybody would now presume Emily to have a thing for Marten.

    Except maybe that dude in the back over there. The guy with the red beard.

    Well... yeah but it would still be jumping to conclusions. Though the hearts are kind of weird... and really, who hands out love letters anymore?

    She's a grad student, so no.

    They both have black hair. Clearly this means something!

    I actually do think that the times Dora had her hair short and black made her look like she could be Marten's sister.

    Who hands out invitations that are just the person's name with hearts around it? I don't see how Tai finds this amusing, really.

    Again, Emily... She's rather... unique...

    And on a sidenote, I wouldn't be surprised if delivering invitations on on envelopes with hearts around the name of the person isn't some form of custom in that particular college.

    Oh my god, Marten is actually really precious in that comic.

    Also, that's an excellent idea.

    Honestly, the love letter idea was what I jumped to. She was acting like a little girl with one of those note passing games "Do you like me? Check yes or no." And be fair, this wouldnt have been the first time that marten has been hit on by a girl. Hell, I dont even think its the third time on panel. He is a young to mid 20s not unattractive man, working at an all girls school. Guy probably gets hit on by 19 year olds all freaking day.

    Too be fair, the last time we saw it happen he was dating dora. For all we know, he has been landing a new grad student three times a week since then and just not been bragging about it because his friends are his ex and the girl who used to beat up his exs brother for being a man ho.

    He is. Tai has stated outright that Marten is hit upon all the time, he's just obliviously unaware of it.
