(Gently and affectionately grasps you with industrial machinery)
End of chapter! Next page is a log page, then reader questions.
Transcript
Talita wraps her arms around her friends, rests a cheek on top of Idrisah's head, and relaxes into the hug. Bip turns their webcam towards the the front loader, holding up its newly attached articulated hands. They reach out with them and gingerly grasp the group of women with the metal manipulators, who look down in surprise.
Bip: Best I can do, sorry.
Talita: Thanks, Bip.

It’s so cute but at the same time my “Shake Hands with Danger” reflex is like that arm is a piece of heavy industrial equipment that has a very thin margin between “gentle hug” and “suplex a car”.

im glad bip didn’t drive the frontloader toward them for a deeper hug, because that would have been hella risk for foot crushing and pinch points, lol. this is perfect

I wonder if anyone has ever died from an AI hug.
