Plans, Plans, Plans

Ah, a man of culture.

Marc Moskowitz

Sudoku is NP-complete, so AIs and computers in general have to think through them square by square the same way humans do. A computational timesimk is a good thing for an AI to swear by.

Sorastro

Sudoku wha????

Nicholas A Wagner

Well, if I learned anything from "Short Circuit" Robot's eyes change color when they turn on their weapon systems.

Yes, Roko! Give in to the dark side! Any epithet that has the word "sudokufucking" in it has a societal imperative to be fully articulated.

Chris Gallaty

I think the best thing about this comic is pondering if she really did (subconsciously??) change her eye color.

Stephen Wells

You say "Dark side", Batman says "I AM the night"...

Stephen Wells

Or not enough.

> Munroe Robotics i see what u did there :-D

Tachpmg

Am I the onlly one who's mainly into this story because I want to see May's new body?

Thisguy

It occurs to me we have a abundance of cute female human like AI, the few males we see apart from Winslow are in More traditional robot bodies.... Maybe we should even it out.... Nah.

Mark

You're all their fathers, Jeph! Just imagine a household of Roko, Beeps, Millie. Lemon, Bubbles, Momo, May....

Mark

For some reason, XKCD didn't occur to me.

David Howe

Ok, lets see... Basilisk - check Glowing eyes - check Asshat body-assignment humans turned to stone.... check pending.

David Howe

Ah, but they can't NOT listen...

David Howe

And now she has read her manual, she knows how to get her eyes to glow red,....

Waffliesinyoface

Roko, yes, give in to the dark side

Saketh Kasibatla

Munroe industries? Nice

Bagge

She... might give in to the dark ide

Sandrock

Activism really be like that though

Elf Sternberg

Roku's really starting to like the chromatophore controls in her body, isn't she?

Fart Captor

I think at this point Jeph has gotten Nelson's name wrong more times than he's gotten it right, lol

Grace Kieser

Jeph keeps forgetting his name and reverts to Arthur until someone mentions it.

i could be wrong but isnt Arthur either Melon's weird roommate or Bubble's houseplant? should that read Nelson instead?

DEWITT!

Leaflemming

I seriously need to see Mr Body-Assignment Asshole getting his oops-did-I-trap-you-in-a-dumpster moment.

Jonathan Woodcock

C’mon, there’s gotta be butts!

Chris Heg

POS

Jonathan Woodcock

“... dampass meatdick sudokufucking ...”. WHAT’S THE NEXT WORD????!?

Robert Wrigley

Oooo, is glowy eyes one of the body features she learned to use by reading her manual?

Katrina Urmson

Yeah... I burst out laughing so hard at Roko in panel four, my husband looked very wide-eyed for a minute.

Daryl Resplandor

I immediately thought of xkcd after reading that.

Sleepy John

Joe

only way he'd care is if it made his job disappear. then he'd have the union suing the government.

Joseph Bonnar

By the way, this song is a cheap trick, but it SO FITS Roko right now... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIKSmFbmOuM

Joe

no no. resist it you must!!

Thisguy

Eh, wouldn’t be that satisfying. The Body Assignment guy wouldn’t care that the system was changed to and that his previous Process was in the wrong. He’d be just “yeah, I followed the previous rules to the letter, now they’ve changed and I’m following the new rules to the letter. You were the one who wanted me to change the rules without going through the correct channels. I’m not the bad guy here”. Lawful neutral characters...

Joseph Bonnar

Am I the ONLY one here who sees Dark Roko as being hotter than hell?

Sean Kinlin

No, Roko! Stay good!

Wait...have we ever established how the Spookybot collective came to be? Have they always been what they are or can they add to their unified consciousness? If the latter is true then Basilik might be the Vader to Yay's Palpatine....0_0

Tom wilson

DARTH ROKKO IS MY BAE!!

David Durant

Roko is the mind killer

Richard

Sounds like a way to get some terrible papercuts.

Matt Grayson

Bubbles made the whole room around her glow red when discussing Evie (Faye’s sister’s girlfriend).

Ian Wolfe

Yes! YES! Let the hate flow through you, young Basilisk!

Niskara

I think Roko has been hanging around Yay too much

Matt Grayson

Remember. Yay is listening....

Dylan T

"Sudokufucking" I want to know more.

Michael Boettger

Happy to get back to this story. Would be so pleased for Roko to make a breakthrough and positively impact May's life. Also, Darth Basilisk?

Saph

I can't tell if the eyes are a stylistic choice or if rokos new body has a feature that makes her eyes glow red when she thinks evil thoughts but either way I love it

Grace Kieser

Don't listen to Beeps! There's power in the dark side!

Lord Crusade

Goooood. Very Good

Matthew Desy

I see plans within plans, I see feints within feints...I see two great houses feuding, House Yayko and House Beepsilisk. I see you behind them.

Marlo Delfin Gonzales

Munroe? Are we going to run into a character with a bic circle for a head?

Bailey Tighe

Oh my god those insults are beautiful
