Reminded me of a stupid punishment that the UK government introduced a while ago---the Antisocial Behaviour Order, or ASBO. I grew up with people who got one and considered it a badge of honour. Eventually a new government came in and replaced it with something equally ineffective.

OMG yes it's such a perfect, cute little detail.

I love the square drunk bubbles for the robots (not to be confused with Bubbles)
2020-03-17 14:27:26 +0000 UTC
I agree w/ that!

No antenna, but, hey, how many lampshades have a ponytail?

..."voop" "vip" "voop"... - the sounds that square drunk bubbles make as they derezz.
2020-03-17 08:58:31 +0000 UTC
For a moment, I thought the lampshade had an antenna...

I love that MF pulls a silly “I AM A ROBOT I MUST OBEY” routine... as a robot. Mighty meta. :)

Now Jeph will have to redraw and rewrite the next page in order to bamboozle you.
My money is on "cut to a different scene".

Only in QC can you make that sort of statement.

Totally missed that.

That lampshade is gonna break, she’s gonna panic and buy a new one, and it’ll be revealed that the original is actually junk.
If I’m right about this series of events then I will buy a lottery ticket because I can see into the goddamn future

Somebody needs to revoke a few of MF's in-app permissions.

Have I mentioned that I really like Renée?

I think it's been established that she absolutely *can* become undrunk, she just doesn't want to.
...so, uh, in answer to your question... yes.
David Jackson

Given Millie's past drinking and behavior, and that she can't become undrunk like other AIs, would this qualify as a drinking problem?
A.A. aka Double
2020-03-17 01:41:35 +0000 UTC
...because she got drunk, once?

How do you trick a post-singularity drunk AI? The same way you trick a drunk frat boy. Hahaha

Renee is smart. I'm a little worried that Millefeuille has a drinking problem though.

If we don't break free in 15 seconds, she'll belly up.
