Something To Believe In
Added 2018-02-26 05:32:04 +0000 UTCA roomba, but for dicks

Yes. I think the earliest thing is 234. with Pintsize and some other robot, whom Pintsize tought to be female. Then sometimes robots IRC'd, Pintsize, Momo, PT410X, maybe Winslow too.
2018-02-27 23:07:27 +0000 UTCBoth of Momo's have anime sweat in different styles. Did she prepare those ahead of time, knowing she was going to need them?

2018-02-27 03:14:30 +0000 UTCI'm confused. Why do the emoji have to be cut in half?
Brad Knowles
2018-02-27 01:35:10 +0000 UTCDo AIs have built in AIM Messenger? Have we seen this before?

2018-02-26 20:55:49 +0000 UTCThey both seem to have updated emojis as they updated/changed chassis. Much like one would update a profile picture, I suppose.
Peter Jensen
2018-02-26 18:00:50 +0000 UTCYeah, but it takes away the option of throwing a phone out the window in frustration. Though granted, that's no longer a non-costly option for me after I retired my faithful Nokia 1100 for a smartphone.

2018-02-26 17:58:47 +0000 UTCOMG. Looked this up... it's a thing. <a href="http://megustalaroomba.com/wp-content/uploads/final-emoji-alternativa-roomba.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://megustalaroomba.com/wp-content/uploads/final-emoji-alternativa-roomba.jpg</a> <a href="http://megustalaroomba.com/2017/01/26/ponle-cara-a-tu-roomba/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://megustalaroomba.com/2017/01/26/ponle-cara-a-tu-roomba/</a> Now just need one with a dick on it.

2018-02-26 15:41:33 +0000 UTCIf you ever see someone abruptly look startled for no clear reason, consider that they might be an AI that just got called a dickroomba over their brainmessager.

2018-02-26 15:06:46 +0000 UTCFun fact: the reason humans are so smart is that we were pushed by evolutionary pressure to get good at modeling each others' mental states and understanding the state of the social whole. The ability to think together is our evolutionary superpower. So the idea that AIs would do this kind of modeling actually makes sense—it may be what woke them up.

2018-02-26 14:20:42 +0000 UTCOf course robots yell by using all caps.
2018-02-26 13:33:08 +0000 UTCYes, it means that they're cluttering up their internal communications with endless series of emojis masquerading as '1337 code'.

2018-02-26 10:58:14 +0000 UTCThe “angry May” emoji is everything.
Will Weaver
2018-02-26 10:51:39 +0000 UTCOh good lord. The AIs have telepathy with one another. This changes EVERYTHING

2018-02-26 10:38:40 +0000 UTC🤖🍆 Works for me
Jan Gampe
2018-02-26 09:26:27 +0000 UTCHang on, would May's emoji have changed when her facemeats colour changed?
Sally Fields
2018-02-26 07:31:39 +0000 UTC'Roomba' is a brand of autonomous robot vacuum cleaner; it's got only the simplest pseudo-AI control software. Basically, May found an elaborate way to call Momo stupid.
Ben Russell-Gough
2018-02-26 07:10:44 +0000 UTCI dunno; May actually gave good advice (oddly enough, she usually does in these scenarios). The issue here is whether Dale can keep his brain from tripping him up and whether Marigold is in a mood to listen.
Ben Russell-Gough
2018-02-26 07:09:25 +0000 UTCI knew that the AIs had their own IM network!
Ben Russell-Gough
2018-02-26 07:08:25 +0000 UTCIts official amongst all the variations of relationships in this strip we also have the one that's so awkward it takes the processing time of not one but two AI's to keep it going :P
Rudolph Gerber
2018-02-26 06:42:26 +0000 UTCI'm with Pinky the Roomba on this.
Stoodmuffin
2018-02-26 06:40:12 +0000 UTCThey can talk behind our backs! Robot apocalypse imminent.
William Burns
2018-02-26 06:12:44 +0000 UTCNobody let pintsize know about the dickroomba.
Grant Swire
2018-02-26 06:03:41 +0000 UTCOH MY GOD THEY CAN TEXT IN THEIR HEADS?! THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE AND I'M SO JEALOUS!
2018-02-26 05:57:42 +0000 UTCDi-kroomba!
2018-02-26 05:53:46 +0000 UTCAye Caramba, it’s a Dic-kroomba! (Not sure yet which is more horrifying - a Roomba that seeks out dicks, or a Roomba made of dicks)
Andrew
2018-02-26 05:52:32 +0000 UTCThey ARE in contact. I assume "Romba" is some sort of robot slur.
Bagge
2018-02-26 05:51:51 +0000 UTCPretty sure it is just texting, they just don't need a touchscreen because they are the phone. Pint-size took dictation before.

2018-02-26 05:48:17 +0000 UTCDOOOOMED!
Andrew
2018-02-26 05:44:51 +0000 UTCI wish I had custom emojis
Kyle Major
2018-02-26 05:44:20 +0000 UTCIs this the first instance we've seen of "AI Telepathy"? Too bad it looks just like texting. I mean, even I can do that...
BobC
2018-02-26 05:42:39 +0000 UTCI think I found a new insult.
Nicholas Lopez
2018-02-26 05:39:53 +0000 UTCQC as a whole is filled with great portmanteaus like that
Cody Renton
2018-02-26 05:38:07 +0000 UTCMay is amazing at coming up with insults.
JD
2018-02-26 05:36:56 +0000 UTCOh man, now I want custom emoji.
Diptych
2018-02-26 05:34:17 +0000 UTCno dickroomba emoji?
Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns
