Plans, Plans, Plans

Ah, a man of culture.

Sudoku is NP-complete, so AIs and computers in general have to think through them square by square the same way humans do. A computational timesimk is a good thing for an AI to swear by.

Marc Moskowitz

Sudoku wha????

Sorastro

Well, if I learned anything from "Short Circuit" Robot's eyes change color when they turn on their weapon systems.

Nicholas A Wagner

Yes, Roko! Give in to the dark side! Any epithet that has the word "sudokufucking" in it has a societal imperative to be fully articulated.

I think the best thing about this comic is pondering if she really did (subconsciously??) change her eye color.

Chris Gallaty

You say "Dark side", Batman says "I AM the night"...

Stephen Wells

Or not enough.

Stephen Wells

> Munroe Robotics i see what u did there :-D

tellumo

Am I the onlly one who's mainly into this story because I want to see May's new body?

Tachpmg

It occurs to me we have a abundance of cute female human like AI, the few males we see apart from Winslow are in More traditional robot bodies.... Maybe we should even it out.... Nah.

Thisguy

You're all their fathers, Jeph! Just imagine a household of Roko, Beeps, Millie. Lemon, Bubbles, Momo, May....

Mark

For some reason, XKCD didn't occur to me.

Mark

Ok, lets see... Basilisk - check Glowing eyes - check Asshat body-assignment humans turned to stone.... check pending.

David Howe

Ah, but they can't NOT listen...

David Howe

And now she has read her manual, she knows how to get her eyes to glow red,....

David Howe

Roko, yes, give in to the dark side

Waffliesinyoface

Munroe industries? Nice

Saketh Kasibatla

She... might give in to the dark ide

Bagge

Activism really be like that though

Sandrock

Roku's really starting to like the chromatophore controls in her body, isn't she?

Elf Sternberg

I think at this point Jeph has gotten Nelson's name wrong more times than he's gotten it right, lol

Fart Captor

Jeph keeps forgetting his name and reverts to Arthur until someone mentions it.

Grace Kieser

i could be wrong but isnt Arthur either Melon's weird roommate or Bubble's houseplant? should that read Nelson instead?

DEWITT!

I seriously need to see Mr Body-Assignment Asshole getting his oops-did-I-trap-you-in-a-dumpster moment.

Gary Walker

C’mon, there’s gotta be butts!

Jonathan Woodcock

POS

Chris Heg

“... dampass meatdick sudokufucking ...”. WHAT’S THE NEXT WORD????!?

Jonathan Woodcock

Oooo, is glowy eyes one of the body features she learned to use by reading her manual?

Robert Wrigley

Yeah... I burst out laughing so hard at Roko in panel four, my husband looked very wide-eyed for a minute.

Katrina Urmson

I immediately thought of xkcd after reading that.

Sleepy John

only way he'd care is if it made his job disappear. then he'd have the union suing the government.

Joe

By the way, this song is a cheap trick, but it SO FITS Roko right now... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIKSmFbmOuM

Joseph Bonnar

no no. resist it you must!!

Joe

Eh, wouldn’t be that satisfying. The Body Assignment guy wouldn’t care that the system was changed to and that his previous Process was in the wrong. He’d be just “yeah, I followed the previous rules to the letter, now they’ve changed and I’m following the new rules to the letter. You were the one who wanted me to change the rules without going through the correct channels. I’m not the bad guy here”. Lawful neutral characters...

Thisguy

Am I the ONLY one here who sees Dark Roko as being hotter than hell?

Joseph Bonnar

No, Roko! Stay good!

Sean Kinlin

Wait...have we ever established how the Spookybot collective came to be? Have they always been what they are or can they add to their unified consciousness? If the latter is true then Basilik might be the Vader to Yay's Palpatine....0_0

DARTH ROKKO IS MY BAE!!

Tom wilson

Roko is the mind killer

David Durant

Sounds like a way to get some terrible papercuts.

Richard

Bubbles made the whole room around her glow red when discussing Evie (Faye’s sister’s girlfriend).

Matt Grayson

Yes! YES! Let the hate flow through you, young Basilisk!

Ian Wolfe

I think Roko has been hanging around Yay too much

Niskara

Remember. Yay is listening....

Matt Grayson

"Sudokufucking" I want to know more.

Dylan T

Happy to get back to this story. Would be so pleased for Roko to make a breakthrough and positively impact May's life. Also, Darth Basilisk?

Michael Boettger

I can't tell if the eyes are a stylistic choice or if rokos new body has a feature that makes her eyes glow red when she thinks evil thoughts but either way I love it

Saph

Don't listen to Beeps! There's power in the dark side!

Grace Kieser

Goooood. Very Good

Lord Crusade

I see plans within plans, I see feints within feints...I see two great houses feuding, House Yayko and House Beepsilisk. I see you behind them.

Matthew Desy

Munroe? Are we going to run into a character with a bic circle for a head?

Marlo Delfin Gonzales

Oh my god those insults are beautiful
