That led me to do a bit of research. Thank you!

It's OK, Claire-bear, you know that Emily looks up to you! ... and I can't remember exactly where that strip is, and I should have gone to bed 45 minutes ago, so...

Mark

Omigod the bitter envy!

Bill Hall

And, indeed, only about 91% of humans have ever died

Ace

Just 'cause Emily's got her own way of doing things doesn't mean she's not human!

Diptych

Are you <i>sure</i> biology suggests yes? I mean, what proof do we have that Emily is actually human? I thought a long time ago that she could very well be an extremely advanced AI created by Spookybot (I use that name since it would have been long before they chose Yay as their name). It would explain Emily's uncanny ability to create those highly advanced computer programs that keep making the government nervous.

awgiedawgie

That might be undecidable. We don't even know if she's going to halt. Biology suggests yes, but it is Emily...

Eric Lusby

Emily and The Doctor have lunch every second Tuesday.

Tom wilson

Emily! I've missed her.

Flounder

But did Emily pass the Turing test?

Bagge

Emily's probably on first name terms with him.

Of course not. You give up your sense of decency when you have children. Now I not only have the dad jokes, but the dad bod to go with it. Also, no sense of shame, either. It's so liberating.

Tom wilson

"Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

As someone who works in natural language processing (closely related to computational linguistics), I have thought about how weird it'd be in a world like QC with widespread general AI. Fortunately for me, we are nowhere close to reaching that level of AI anytime soon.

Claire's mom

Damien

Claire, probably. And don't call me Shirley.

George Bias

Nine Inch Nails uses it in 'Just Like You Imagined' which is my very favourite piece of music of any genre, ever. I have a DVD of one of their live concerts where the guy is playing one on the stage. Unfortunately the only one available on YouTube (while remarkable in its own right for it guest pianist) does not feature a theremin. :-(

Simon Green

so w/c of them is a Whovian? shirley, one of them is a Whovian, right?

skinnybdink

Clara Rockmore and Leon Theremin got caught up in the swirling tides of history. Do a little research. You do *not* want to get caught in the swirling tides of history...

Rob Scallion, Theremin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or4CALipjig

Actually, I thought of Bugs Bunny.

awgiedawgie

Anyone else think of Sheldon from Big Bang with the theremin? :P

FuryoftheStars

They have: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3728 With not so surprising results: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3729

Peter Jensen

Don't be sore, Claire. They could have asked for a computer program that catalogues all computer linguistic theories - known and unknown - and Emily would have still passed with flying colours. Her level of giftedness with computers is downright... <i>Spooky</i>.

awgiedawgie

As long as your Roomba doesn't have a jet engine mounted on its back, I think your secrets are safe.

awgiedawgie

Wherever I go, theremin.

Tom wilson

Yes, she's so... complicatedly simple. I would totally love to hang with her IRL.

Shawn K. Younkin

This is me. Oh no

GodsInTheCogs

Are you picking up any Good Vibrations?

Simon Green

I'm not sure. Did you mean Minuteman III launch codes or Trident II D5 launch codes?

Simon Green

What's geekier than a theramin? A build-it-yourself theramin.

Wolfger

So, Computational linguistics is either avery easy class, or Smif doesn't understand either. At any rate, Emily does seem to have met the course requirements. Or Yay will give her an "A" anyway.

Michael Boettger

Now I confess I had to do a web search for Theremins. Learning something keeps me, er, less elderly... :P

Joseph Bonnar

Dear god, if Emily and Melon met…

Miyaa

theramin* whatever I'm high too

Hope

Theramin kit ftw!

Matt

Oh shit. I've told my roomba a lot of secrets.

Jackie Horn

hi yeah id like two weeks of claire, high, playing thermien, cash or card?

Hope

Oh, I missed Emily. Good to have her back!

Andrea Andrew

Oh, Emily

Lord Crusade

Small talk with an AI? Alexa, did you keep those launch codes?
