I feel like Ann may be one of my new favorite characters. Love the expressiveness in the third and fifth panels. Poor thing.

Jordan is totally right. I'm an engineer myself and I can understand her disappointment.
Seth is a total dick :evil: . At the "Seth being thrown out"-scene I thought he needs to get laid.
But now he wants everything. What an ungrateful f*ck.

Poor Jordan :cry:

The problem here is that Jordan tried to give Seth a glass of milk, when what he wants is the whole cow.

Both of their expressions in the last panel were solid gold and Jordan tops it off with her indignant rant about how insulted she is.

Jordan had better built in a simulated reluctance to smack one's creator over the head for being an ass, or else that's bound to happen before long!

jordan established herself as self hating
she most likely built in the exact opposite, programming ann to smack her when appropriate

I just watched the short film "Kara" on youtube (again) and imagined how Jordan would react if she did the final checkup with the robot.

Kara:"But I'm scared :cry: "
Jordan:"No, you're not. It's just flawed programming speaking." *disassembling Kara*

Jordan is a true engineer viewing her inventions as tools and never as sentient beings. Therefore simulated sentience is just programming in her eyes. She may allow her creations to hassle her but she is the one in control.

Ann v0.9 is overshadowing Jordan with her beauty? Just smash her to pieces and begin from scratch.
Ann v1.0 is a stupid bitch not wanting Seth? Just give her an elf-fetish.

If Ann would slap Jordan it had to be programmed in the first place. But yet again Jordan is the creator and can just end Ann's existence. So Jordan programming this smack would be equal to runnig Ann's programming in a limited time frame.
Sounds creative :lol:

Also I think Jordan knows Asimov's Laws and is keeping her always on the safe side. At least with the definition of herself instead of the generic term "human".
