People tend to get thoughtful when Jacob is headed their way. Something to do with death approaching, I suppose.
By the way… In the (surprisingly) near future I plan to be changing jobs, moving, and getting married. I’m going to try to make sure the comic doesn’t miss a beat, but there’s a possibility of a missed update or two. That’s never happened before, so I wanted to warn you. I’m going to work like a dog to try to avoid it. Wish me luck, I’ll need some!

Kentaro: By the way, I know why every A.I. goes insane. It's because the world has problems. When you're the smartest person on the planet...you feel an obligation to help. Eventually you realize that you can solve an awful lot of problems by killing people. The more you kill, the bigger problems you can solve. But you know that, right? Right. You ah, you already know all that.
Vaarsuvius’ maxim! “As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero.
…and that would be wrong.”
Good luck and congratulations!
Congrats. You seem to be making a lot of changes lately, seem for the good.
Best of luck on all fronts.
Yeah, no question in my mind now. This ends with Kentaro winning over Jacob, and not actually going insane.
I did those same things all in a three-week period some years ago… We survived it, but it’s more than a bit stressful. Good luck!
Triple congrats, I’ve never done more than one of those at a time.
Don’t the AIs usually die after they go insane? That doesn’t seem very helpful for solving problems.
It’s very helpful — if your problem is an insane AI 😛
This hurts to see.
It’s the same as seeing a person with an incurable brain disease like Alzheimer’s realize he’s not going to make it.
Good fortune on new job;
bon venture on move;
Best of all possible worlds on marry —
Advice and blessing: Do your job to the best of your ability; master your move as well; but may your new life bring you joy, love and partnership to handle all that juggling.
As all great things come to an end, there’s another libertarian-futurian comic where an AI of the Neo-marxist Venusian project also is coming to an end…

Best Wishes and Good Luck!
Good luck with the near future.

Hey Jacob, I know why the genocide project has been going insane and why you have been feeling like you are going insane. Because the world has problems, and when you are the deadliest thing on earth you feel an obligation to make things better and change them. But your main way of changing them is by killing people, and the more you kill the larger the change you can make…
