I'm now imagining a whole team of powerful AIs with cutesy names. I presume that, however great Yay's abilities are, Bubbles' raw strength would come in handy on occasion.

That's ALWAYS been the case. The times they sliip out of it are the anomalies.

Jim Feldman

Yay seems to have her "snark mode" stuck on 11

Raphael Bressel

They said they rented one of the AI-charging alcoves in Roko's building.

Dan Curtis

Does one of Yay just live with Roko now?

Evgeniy Semyonov

Probably just a habit of person who for a very long time lived only with themselves. And dogs.

dcy665 .

Besides, everyone can benefit from Yay's wisdom. Even if they don't want to.

Nicholas Sturm

I think Yay regularly thinks out loud. Might be a part of the AI programming? Otherwise AI's would prob never need to speak to each other out loud in meat space. (also they likely could speak in hyper speed and various unbearable frequencies (assuming no actual RF)

Matt Grayson

And rule of funny aside, why is Yay saying their response out loud? To impress Roko? To elicit Roko's censure? They must like it, as they court it so often. (I'm using singular, as Yay is a single group, as in "why is Massachusetts changing its COVID policy?" )

Won't be gay, orrrrr will be extremely gay? Being attracted to a non-binary person is like having Schrodinger's sexuality! (caveat: everyone's sexuality is their own to decide! Though as an enby myself, i do enjoy jokingly telling my partners that dating me automatically makes you not-straight, congrats)

Yay has blush panels!

David Pipes

...you're hoping, aren't you? Kibo Kibo Kibo! ...Ah, the good old Net.

Solomon Garland

Two bots, chilling on a blue couch, always seen together but its not gay. (Yay presumably has either no gender or several so it won't be gay even if they do end up rubbing bread on her)

Roko feels very sitcomy. Melon helps

Tsunde-yayy

SpookyPenguin

Ha! Yay cares what Faye thinks.

dirtknight

jesus christ Faye and Bubbles are so in love My heart T_T

Andrew

Or were you dropping eaves like Samwise Gamgee?

Clifton Royston

Maybe Yay is like the people who have an automatic search for mention of their name on Twitter or other services. Old 'net hands will remember this used to be called "Kibozing".

Kara Black

I literally yelled out "They're blushing!!!!" when I saw that

Joseph Bonnar

Like an old married couple who are still in love. NOT like my ex and I would have been had our marriage endured.

Bagge

"but what if they talk about me?"

Shawn K. Younkin

It's still the same night when she was in them before. Cute Roko is cute in cute pink jammies.

JPMK! {verb}

All-seeing-Yay raises so many questions now.

JPMK! {verb}

Oh jeez, if Faye didn't mistake sex for cookies before, would that mean Yay would have gotten a surveillance-eyeful? Lol

Emma Humphries

A Roko/Yay sitcom is, "What if I Dream of Jeannie, but Culture Minds?"

Sandrock

OxO

Tim Eldred

Plot twist: Yay has been aware of the audience this entire time and is just rolling with it.

BobC

Did some eaves dropping myself once, when I fell while hanging rain gutters.

mooviies

Aren't we all eavesdropping anyway? Think about that!

Matthew Desy

Damn the torpedoes, SS Yayko to full steam!

Please help and old nerd interpret what you mean by "stan." As far as I can tell you are hoping they will turn out like one of the countries of the former Soviet Union.

Richard

This is a very good question. Listening through Bubbles seems like it might be skating real close to violating Yay's principle of not meddling in another's mind.
