I don't think robots *can* actually "do things analog". Isn't it all digital by definition?

no, just that there's a certain irony in a technological entity struggling with lesser technology.

No, this calls for much more security: stick it to the bottom of the keyboard.

I've helped at a few non-profits and while the staff are usually well meaning, they might have had a tough time making it outside of that world. I'm just talking business competence.

I guess 1Password doesn’t have a client for the AI platform yet?

Kind of wish I could request a new body, just because this one is old and has parts falling off of it (LOL.) Certain advantages to being a robot/android/AI, that's for sure ... BTW...do the AIs in this society consider "robot" an appropriate term? The term "Robot girlfriend" doesn't seem to offend anyone, but that could just be because it's Faye?

It worries me that Beeps presumably handles explosives and industrial machinery at her other job... Could make for an interesting bonus comic though?

Beeps should write her password on a sticky note and put it on her monitor. :)

(Unless you are like a Spookybot level hacking badass, in which case it's like tossing a were-megalodon into a sea full of sharks and telling them to swim home on the evening before the night of the full moon: whoever did it is about to have a bad time...)

Sentient AIs. Can you recall everything you know immediately. Probably not. Yet, with the right questions, you can remember a lot. Just because data is stocked somewhere in your brain doesn't mean you are concious of it.

Jeph, did you just change Beep's pronouns? I thought that Beeps used "they" before

The QC fan in me is struggling with the sci-fi nerd who thinks it's impossible for an AI to forget a password.

I don't think a paper clip is going to help her with this one.
I'm also getting the feeling that maybe Nelson had the deck stacked in his favor. I mean, sure, it's possible that Beepatrice was promoted to remove the weakest link from direct contact with most of the clients, but if her capabilities are any kind of testament to the rest of the crew Roko joined, it's possible Roko will be giving Nelson a run for his awards... But probably not until after she's clearly helped May in a meaningful way.

Spookybot has spectacular powers, being presumably some kind of hive mind, but do they have access to any noteworthy amount of wealth? They might not have a bunch of spare chassis that they can just throw around willy nilly.
They have their own personal chassis of course, but I'm working under the theory that the hive mind stuff is all done through the chassis, and if they put Beepatrice's mind in one of those then she would simply be incorporated into the hivemind. Plus they might just not want to part with them.

2019-06-17 02:13:03 +0000 UTC
She is the AI. An "AI Upgrade" would just be replacing her with a separate person, wouldn't it?
Mitchell Sealy
2019-06-17 02:08:32 +0000 UTC
Roko, Spookybot wants to be your friend. She may not want to mess with other minds, but I’m sure inserting a new chassis order for May would be a nice friendly gesture.
Matt Grayson
2019-06-17 02:06:36 +0000 UTC
If anyone needs an AI upgrade, it’s Beeps.
