Aw :( yay is cute

Forgettable

I love the monstrously powerful baby.

Anonymous

Oh Yay. You make the case allllll by yourself.

KingAtticus

Remember y’all, Yay is only 2 years old

Michael Boettger

Well, if Yay is only 2 years old, as many speculate, then their emotional maturity does seem to jibe with their actions. Also, HELLO ROKO! Good to see you.

YAY IS SUCH BABY

Katherine Prewitt

Nothing more effective in your arsenal than a strong "NO U" argument

Fart Captor

Roko being the top in this relationship will never cease to delight me 💜

*snerk!* ❤️

KCkittysnores

I’m coming around to the idea that Yay is basically Emily’s fault. They share a certain otherly perspective.

Uniquitous

Gotta admire the stones it takes to call out an AI godling.

Andrew

Anyone edited panel 2 yet? :)

Yelling Bird

AND THEN THEY FUCKED!

BobC

We will, we will, ROKO!

Matt Grayson

Aurelia gave Yay a bad case of adolescence.

Nicolas Demers

An AI godling who's lonely and just wants a friend, and Roko knows it :) If I remember, the first time Roko called Yay out was when they donated $2B just on a whim and for giggles, and she was so outraged she tore them a new a-hole. Since no horrible repercussions followed, she figured it was safe to keep on doing so

Chris Heg

Yay is a true toddler.

Todd Ellner

Roko has spent her professional life telling people unpleasant truths starting with "You're under arrest," and currently at "That's a shitty way to treat an AI."

Michael Voorhis

Yay reminds me of the "infant" VGER in STTMP.

Sleepy John

When we get to the "I'm rubber and you're glue" stage of the argument, we will have reached peak maturity.

It's odd that a neighbor of Melon's can still be so startled. Maybe AI don't desensitize the way organic brains do?

Chauncey

I’d be startled too, if a near god-like AI stood over me while I slept (or, in this case, charged)

Okay, Yay, congratulations. You're officially my new favorite grandchild.

Thomas Halpin

I love everything about this storyline

Just noticing Yay is one of if not the only bots without seams.

JourneymanWizard

Now riding on the many-Yay maturity theory***. This one would get noogies from Faye, cautious high-fives from Martin, and Sus from Bubbles. *** I don't remember who I read it from. Sry. Each "Yay-type body" is a separate manifestation, with subtly different personality and maturity.

Shane Wegner

Yay has also had round speech bubbles, presumably when dedicating full CPU to speech synthesis.

Dean Reilly

I think Yay needs their sippy cup and a nap. 😁

lazymagpie

That roast XD

Pejo

I just realized this story may be leading to Yay's origins & I'm super excited at the prospect. I wonder if they didn't have a name because they were too baby? Just didn't get around to picking one out, didn't need one since they didn't interact w/ anyone, & their first interaction was pwning a bully which doesn't exactly require formal introductions either... ANYWAY SUPER EXCITED

Stephen Wells

In Dungeons and Dragons terms, however high Yay's Intelligence is, their Wisdom is low.

Miyaa

And both Yay & Roko have really high charisma!

I would not put her having a masochistic streak anymore than any other tween/teenager. Yes it is there.. but there are also sadistic/nihilistic/beatific/etc/etc all needing to be worked through. She just has a much larger canvas to work through.

Daryl Sawyer

lmao, no hesitation, just "YES".

Time to juxtapose Yay and May, maybe with Pintsize to draw them into an unexpected alliance. And I'm betting Yay already knows Station. And Hannalore. *That* one will be interesting...

Stephen Wells

I think Yay needs cuddles. I think several of Yay need cuddles.

William Cole

Yay knows *about* Station (they first appeared after eavesdropping on Station's communications about Bubbles's memories), but there hasn't been any indication yet of actual contact between them. Unless Yay is the result of some kind of Ellicot-Chatham Industries project that got loose and evolved beyond its original parameters. Hmmmmmm…

Ruth Merriam

Where/when (in space/time) are the other Yays right now?

Summer Sudbrink

But did they find Aurelia's keys!?

Mad Marie

expressions in panel three vs. panel six. Love it.

Darnel D Cooper

On the real,.. I'm waiting for Yay to "Dither" on something between two being present at the same time.

Darnel D Cooper

On Yay: Like most beings, there is a priority of action and events. We can see that Yay has gained a few more moral points besides refusing to canvass around in other beings' minds,... they now consider the "comfort" of others as a matter of course. (Its cute how they are dismissive while reaching out and fixing stuff, complaining all the way.) I think "Spookybot" still has the scary quotient and the rest are humanizing to the point where they can't easily summon the casual A-hole anymore. Look at how Spookybot demands answers, while the rest ACTUALLY ASK QUESTIONS. Spookybot just does stuff,.... the rest dip their toes into new experiences. I'm enjoying this. Props Jeph.

Todd Ellner

Everyone with a small child has had the frame 1-2 experience

Bagge

It is actually pretty funny!

Panel 6 expressions are absolutely perfect!
