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...

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

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.

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

Emily and The Doctor have lunch every second Tuesday.
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.

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.

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. :-(

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...

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>.

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

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

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

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.
