So cool.

Michael Boettger

One we saw last week. And overall, I do like the interplay between May and Sam.

AI are used to subnet private chats Lololol

So wait, why do _humans_ need their own special jail?

That's actually rather well-expressed exposition.

Edward Clayton Andrews

All jail bad. There's so few people I'd actually feel justified putting there. And punishment always feels like its for everyone but the one being punished...

I'm just digging the abolitionist talk around here

Because AI jail is less a jail than it is a massive server farm with some *really* fucked up coding to make it seriously suck. May didn't start off with a body after all, she was just stuck in the virtual evil sim of AI Prison.

Dracon Atrox

Lawmakers: "Other people getting punished makes us feel good!" ... "What do you mean, I need to be punished for my own criminal acts? What are you, high?!" ... "You need to be punished for that."

May being accidentally good with kids is such a great storyline.

All I can contribute is: I wish I could've been cool enough in high school to wear a vest like Sam's.

Not all jail is bad. But there is FAR TOO MUCH jail. And not-enough/too-much punishment. Too many "criminals" spending years behind bars for petty crimes that prevent them from being rehabilitate and ensure they will contribute to be criminal when they're eventually released, and too many Hard Core Criminals being off with a slap on the wrist or "life sentences" where we pay for them to live in prison for half a century or more instead of taking them out behind the courthouse and shooting them once they've been convicted beyond a shadow of a doubt of rape, pedophilia or cold blooded murder...

Was it ever said what May did to go to jail???

Haven't updated the copyright date yet eh?

The main problem with prison reform is that prison, like most punishments, is there because people want to see criminals suffer. And when that's your priority, you'll be less inclined to ask if it actually helps decrease crime.

i think it's more "May being accidentally good with Sam specifically" but yes great storyline

these were drawn last year. Jeph showed us the timelapses.

May is Sam's assistant. Didn't ya see 4423? She reported for duty and everything. Even got a promotion on her first gig!

Rehabilitation, not incarceration!

Daniel S

Well, that was...surprisingly tactful.

I think there's also a second issue that our prisons are so far from being the correction system that we were sold on that it feels like we'd need a revolutionary approach, and most people just won't be open to such a thing.

During COVID I've been doing much more in-car-ceration. That's a synonym for getting food at a drive-through, right?

Bruce Steinberg

And the horrific way we run our prisons force people into gangs for self-protection. The thirst for punishment breeds more crime.

Robert Wrigley

Hmm....do AI's view speech as a type of aural public chat/ forum?

Wouldn't in-car-ceration be burning garbage in your car?

Shane Wegner

I’m sure there are lots of irritating arguments against AIs, like “They don’t have souls” and “they’ll take our jaerbs”, “Humans First!”. Lots of focus on how they are other, unknown, and thus fearful. As immortal, fast learning machines, there’s always an outside chance one or a few could become a bioterrorist and 3D print a mega pandemic virus. Tell me it’s never at least crossed Corpse Witch’s cynical mind. Often horror premises are “what if something that wasn’t human acted as cruelly and viscously as humans act to each other?” If Yay dedicated all their resources to wiping out humanity in a surprise attack, how would that go?

BobC

No. In-sin-eration is having sex in your car. (Alone or with others - I'm not judging.)

Joseph Bonnar

No customers in employee chat. I LIKE that one. :)

William Borden

If you're interested in a very different narrative of AI/human relations, read "The Stories of Ibis" by Hiroshi Yamamoto. It had an English release about a decade ago, so should be findable used at a reasonable price. Without spoiling too much, lets just say that most of the issues between us and AI may be our responsibility. "Robopocalypse" by Daniel H. Wilson presents some similar ideas in a different setting.

When H.A.R.L.I.E. Was One, by David Gerrold is good, too.

I am sure she would have been a cool fighter jet. Safe, not so much.

jail real bad

It would have been very educational, not sure for whom though.

Fabio Neves

I love how someone here complained about "floating eyebrows" and Jeph doubled down on them ❤️

really curious about the details of robot jail. is there robot prison?

"oh, punishment! we like punishment!" is a weirdly elegant way of framing humanity's love for hierarchy and othering

Anonymous

It's absolutely terrifying, and that tension between their humanity and their ability to rapidly outpace us makes for really fuckin' interesting narrative, hence people constantly hitting that super rich well up for ideas. It's a fascinating lens to explore ethics through.

Love is a bit inaccurate is more like the humans at the top of the hierarchy and the most inside push that system on the rest of humanity

Some Ed
>>50835201

The distinction between jail and prison doesn't really make sense to a large extent. - AIs sent to jail are separated from their bodies or servers, so there's no possibility of escape, and apart from the warehouse(s?) where the bodies are stored, the overall space required is tiny. - The environment that each AI CPU is subjected to can easily be tailored to whether they are pre or post conviction.

Hmm yes... but there are subject that can’t be rehabilitated... there must be a serious thought on how and why things happen.

"I'm not sure I like you hanging out with all those punk robots." "one of them said you were cool." "I was wrong!"

As far as animals go, humans have an uncanny way of adapting, even with things like cobras, tigers, venomous snakes and spiders, and Republicans. So currently in much of society we can rely on altruism (and when that doesn't work, horrific punishment in the form of jails and executions). So I have to think that in order to incentivize good behaviour for AIs, Robot Jail has got to be super, super bad. Whether or not it's run by humans makes this even more interesting.

Melissa Smits
>>50800468

There's also the fact that in a much earlier strip, when the singularity hit, humans chose the path of altruism and it shaped the relationship with AIs from a position of progress. So that seems to follow the "first do no harm" rule, and Jeph has alluded to Asimov as an important influence
