A roomba, but for dicks

Oh man, now I want custom emoji.

JD

May is amazing at coming up with insults.

Nicholas Lopez

I think I found a new insult.

BobC

Is this the first instance we've seen of "AI Telepathy"? Too bad it looks just like texting. I mean, even I can do that...

Kyle Major

I wish I had custom emojis

Andrew

DOOOOMED!

Pretty sure it is just texting, they just don't need a touchscreen because they are the phone. Pint-size took dictation before.

Bagge

They ARE in contact. I assume "Romba" is some sort of robot slur.

Andrew

Aye 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)

Di-kroomba!

OH MY GOD THEY CAN TEXT IN THEIR HEADS?! THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE AND I'M SO JEALOUS!

William Burns

They can talk behind our backs! Robot apocalypse imminent.

Stoodmuffin

I'm with Pinky the Roomba on this.

Rudolph Gerber

Its 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

Ben Russell-Gough

I knew that the AIs had their own IM network!

I 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.

'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.

Hang on, would May's emoji have changed when her facemeats colour changed?

CalmWeaver27

Oh good lord. The AIs have telepathy with one another. This changes EVERYTHING

Will Weaver

The “angry May” emoji is everything.

Ben Russell-Gough

Yes, it means that they're cluttering up their internal communications with endless series of emojis masquerading as '1337 code'.

Of course robots yell by using all caps.

Fun 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.

If 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.

“dickroomba”

OMG. 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.

Peter Jensen

Yeah, 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.

Peter Jensen

They both seem to have updated emojis as they updated/changed chassis. Much like one would update a profile picture, I suppose.

Matthew

Do AIs have built in AIM Messenger? Have we seen this before?

gatherer818

Both of Momo's have anime sweat in different styles. Did she prepare those ahead of time, knowing she was going to need them?

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.
